Religion For Teens

Pop culture and psychobabble tell us to make ourselves the center of the universe in order to be happy. Churches have communicated the false idea that God exists to give us all that we selfishly want. In this book, Max Lucado reminds us that it's not about us, it's all about God. It is through this shift in thinking that we can truly live an unburdened, happy life.

Well, I challenge to say this why would a righteous man such as Jude, an apostle mention Enoch in any way. Or in an approving way if Enoch is a false prophet, and if his wisdom and experiences are a doctrine of demons?
