Chris.
We, like Jude's friends, need to contend for the Faith that has been entrusted to us. This is not about manifestations of Faith in individual Prayer or Church environments. This is about living in the World system with desires and goals that contend for the Faith. It means living as lights in a dark place. It means living in Love in both hateful and lustful situations. Yes, we are to contend for the Faith.
