Jude 1:3-4, 8 NLT

Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people.

 I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives...for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

...

[8] In the same way, these people - who claim authority from their dreams - live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at supernatural beings. 

Jude 1:3-4, 8 NLT

From the earliest of times it seems that Christianity has been under attack, not from the outside, but from the inside.

Denying Jesus as The authority

Giving authority to dreams.

Using Grace as a way of making things that were unacceptable acceptable.

This letter from Jude uses "wormed their way in". If they came charging in, they'd be easy to spot, but the things that undermine our faith are subtle.

Where do we let them into our church, and our own hearts, our own lives?

This little letter, written in love, is a warning to every generation to be aware to what worms into our hearts that may not immediately look obvious, but is not in line with Jesus, who He is, and His message.
