Jude 1:11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for the profit of Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion.
Here are three example that further show the problems Jude saw with some of the people who attended the churches in his day. These people were arrogant and felt entitled as believers. Many of them were leaders and taught others that sinning was no issue for the believer and that their spiritual acumen gave them special authority. They were not satisfied with the blessings God gave them and returned to the world to satisfy their desires for pleasure.
Jude gives us three Biblical examples of their self-righteous attitudes
- Cain
- Balaam
- Korah
K and A, we will discuss the stories briefly in the next three posts and show how the problems that Jude saw still exist today. It is important to remember that the stories in the OT are pertinent for life today. Paul says that they were written as examples for you! Think about these three examples, do you know the stories; how do they show self-righteous spiritual attitudes condemned by Jude? Until then.

Song: Until Then not particularly connected to today's post, just the last sentence reminded me of it... "carry on" daughters!
