At CTV we believe that God speaks to us through the Bible. We hear from God better when we read and interact with his written word together. Below you will find the Bible reading for each week day, along with some initial comments from one of our facilitators. May God meet and shape us through this conversation!

It's so easy to become complacent and envious of those who take salvation lightly, but after reading the way those people are described in Jude, you think twice. This is how they are perceived by our Father... I would never want Him to think of me this way. So, let us persevere because His mercy is so wonderful.
As I'm reading Jude, I start to think of any "ungodly people" who have "slipped in among" my life, so I can be wary of them and not let them influence me in the wrong way. Then I quickly realize that I had better look into a mirror first and check myself, that I am not doing that to anyone else. I pray that God would show my true self to me at all times, and not let me take His grace for granted.
