Philemon
Paul writes to Philemon, asking him, not commanding as he could, that he free his returned slave Onesimus, charging Paul for whatever is owed. This is a picture of Gospel redemption.
Jude
I wanted to send a positive message, but you need to fight for the faith against false teachers. They cross natural boundaries in perverse sensuality, rebelling like Cain and Korah. Rescue people from their dreadful teaching. Jesus can present you faultless to God despite this - the God to Whom all majesty belongs.
Claremont Review of Books makes a strong case here that it is Medicare that is bankrupting us. Interesting reforms proposed: "Americans shouldn't regard April 15 as a payday."
Thadd Kuehnl (local author), on assurance of salvation, in Holy Confessions:
True believers may have their assurance shaken, or lost for a time, by falling into sin. But it will never be totally lost. (Westminster Confession 17.4)
