But you, 

dear friends: 

build each other up on the foundation of your most holy faith, 

pray in the Holy Spirit, keep each other in the love of God, 

wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will give you eternal life. 

Jude 1:20-21 CEB

When there's doubters, scoffers, those offering and suggesting "better" ways of being in the world, when the world is against us, here is Jude's antidote.

Community that builds each other up in our faith. 

Prayer.

Keep each other.

Hold on to the hope that we have in Jesus.

If there weren't days when our faith wavered, our hope is hard to see, when praying alone seems fruitless, Jude invites us into this picture of community, where on the days I'm wavering, struggling, dry, you're strong, clear, hope  full.

We need one another.

Find, seek out make, community of faith.

And hold on.
