Jude 1:20-23 (KJV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
[SUP]21 [/SUP] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
[SUP]22 [/SUP] And of some have compassion, making a difference:
[SUP]23 [/SUP] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
A Methodist preacher asked me to help with the local jail ministry about 20 years ago. We met at a Gideon meeting. What he proposed to the group and then privately to me just wasn't my 'thing', so I politely said "I can't see myself doing that, so I'll have to say no." He quoted that scripture from memory. It struck me, verses I had not remembered being in the Bible, though I had certainly read those many times. God, not a man was the one calling to that ministry in addition to what I was already involved with. There it was, couldn't say no to that. I had in mind what Peter had held against gentiles, not worthy of the things of God until God corrected him. So I was corrected.
