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 all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Lesson 9 - Resisting Temptation Along the Way.pptx
No Mind Should Never Ever Be Wasted
1. NO MIND SHOULD NEVER EVER BE WASTED
No tree; should never ever be indiscriminately felled; replacing its astoundingly
symbiotic breeze and compassionate fertility; with threadbare pieces of frigidly
skewed twigs; instead,
No conscience; should never ever be acridly tainted; replacing its irrefutably
unassailable spirit of divine righteousness; with abominable coffins of derelict
corruption; instead,
No lip; should never ever be vindictively stitched; replacing its inimitably
unparalleled ocean of smiles and eternal happiness; with bizarrely dastardly
sorrow; instead,
No scalp; should never ever be barbarously tonsured; replacing its sensuously
vivacious flock of hair; with cadaverously invidious baldness; instead,
No finger; should never ever be horrifically curled; replacing its uninhibitedly
fathomless artistry; with dungeons of claustrophobically remorseful hell; instead,
No sweat; should never ever be robotically stopped; replacing its emolliently
glorious essence of perseveringly truthful existence; with the cynically
emotionless ice of the monotonously mechanical air-conditioner; instead,
No blood; should never ever be perniciously distilled; replacing its unsurpassably
poignant ardor; with the drudgery of unceremoniously unsympathetic
manipulation; instead,
No eye; should never ever be deliberately blinded; replacing its impeccably
panoramic and limitlessly holistic capacity to sight; with amorphously gory
mortuaries of crippling darkness; instead,
No stomach; should never ever be torturously emaciated; replacing its robustly
celestial capacity to feed the entire body; with impoverished stones of
reproachfully stymied emptiness; instead,
No ear; should never ever be vituperatively deafened; replacing its unbelievably
unfathomable sensitivity to every form of Lord’s sounds; with horribly
stagnating dilapidation till times immemorial; instead,
No eyelash; should never ever be sadistically clipped; replacing its unceasingly
enchanting and flirtatiously mischievous flashing; with a inanely wastrel and
traumatically iconoclastic stare; instead,
2. No tongue; should never ever be cold-bloodedly tied; replacing its inexhaustibly
reinvigorating chirpiness; with the unbearable devils of irretrievably distraught
dumbness; instead,
No Sun; should never ever be insidiously jailed; replacing its Omnipotently
optimistic glimmer; with the maelstroms of sinfully debilitating darkness;
instead,
No Mother; should never ever be tyrannically adulterated; replacing her fabric of
Omnipresently insuperable belonging; with licentiously ribald parasites of
unforgivable prostitution; instead,
No shoulder; should never ever be ruthlessly compressed; replacing its
unflinchingly royal wave of selfless camaraderie; with intolerably deteriorating
debauchery; instead,
No breath; should never ever be inexorably choked; replacing its timelessly
burgeoning enlightenment of effulgent life; with the gallows of depravingly
ostracizing extinction; instead,
No body; should never ever be deliriously tortured; replacing its triumphantly
righteous exuberance to undauntedly surge ahead; with the winds of
impoverishedly crumbling and lividly maniacal worthlessness; instead,
No heart; should never ever be salaciously betrayed; replacing its immortal
beats of perpetually bonding love; with infinite dinosaurs of
devilishness and deceit; instead,
And No mind; should never ever be wasted; replacing its boundless cocoons of
unrestrictedly silken fantasy and indefatigably proliferating innovation;
with the wails of the cacophonically howling skeleton; instead.
