Doubly Dead
By Mark Flippo
Jude 1:12 (MSG)
These people are warts on your love feasts as you worship and eat together. They're giving you a black eye - carousing shamelessly, grabbing anything that isn't nailed down. They're - Puffs of smoke pushed by gusts of wind; late autumn trees stripped clean of leaf and fruit, Doubly dead, pulled up by the roots;
Parables have always been about what we have around to help us understand a spiritual lesson! In this case, He wanted them to understand that if you do not produce fruit for salvation you will wither and die. The first death was no leaves. The second death was no fruit. When you die in the spirit you will die slowly. Losing your excitement for God. Then with that being gone your desire to serve Him can slip away. Check your spiritual temperature with the Word of God. Are you dying?
