(Okay, as I was preparing to preach this week on the book of Jude, it was a temptation to somehow turn the points into a parody of the old song by the Beatles. I gave in to the temptation. At least I didn't sing it at church!)
HEY JUDE
Says Jude
Don’t be like Cain
He was jealous and killed his brother
The minute you let hatred into your heart
Then you can start to be a false teacher
Says Jude
Don’t be like this
Balaam’s greed to go and get more
The minute you sell out kindred or kin
Then you have sinned and you’re a false teacher
So any time you’re feeling cruel
Hey dude be cool
Don’t be like Korah in rebellion
For don’t you know that Moses can
Be God’s chosen man
God carries the world upon his shoulder
Says Jude
Help those who doubt
Snatching others out of the fire
To others show mercy mixed with fear
Then you can steer clear of those false teachers
