Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

• In France, one of the most important
decorations at Christmas time is the
Sapin de Noël (Christmas tree). It is

of French homes to say "soyez la
bienvenue chez nous" (Welcome to our
house). Originally, this was an AngloSaxon tradition which was later adopted
by the French.
• The wreath is round shaped, to
represent the sun hanging at the door.
10. History of the Christmas Wreath
• In the past, the Christmas wreath had four
candles which represented the four weeks
before Christmas, called Advent. Each
Sunday, one of the candles was lit as a count
down to the special day.

houx), the spiky leaves representing the
Passion of Christ, and the red berries the
blood of Christ.
