CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Jude talks a lot about fighting for the faith. I talked about that in YHC’s COT yesterday. Jude fights by writing, arguing, debating. And that is a way we can and should fight. But that is not Jude wants us to fight. Jude tells the churches to contend for the faith. Our fighting style is not through conflict but through love and mercy; through how we live our lives not how we debate theology. Anyone can talk the talk. But living righteously is tough. And that contrasts with the false teachers Jude is battling. They talk sweet words but live a debauched lifestyle. Righteous living is tough. Temptations are everywhere. Thankfully, Jude has some encouragement there too. We’ve got an awesome savior who can keep us from stumbling.

MOLESKIN:

YHC correspondent incorrectly had the PAX do merkins before each quarter mile. To fix the mistake, the PAX did 100 merkins after the last quarter mile too. The PAX didn’t think YHC was serious till he led by example and started the 100 merkins himself. YHC also learned that Captain Thors use a 1 count on the American Hammers instead of a 4 count.
