2026 Jan 18 - Morning Sermon Reflection: Contend for the Faith

By -

Hymn 34, “God gave to us this day of days,” set a solemn and worshipful tone for today’s service.





Today’s sermon from Jude 3–4 was both sobering and deeply needed. The central message was clear: the church must contend for the faith.

The illustration from Winston Churchill standing in the trenches helped me see Jude’s situation more clearly. Jude wanted to write about our shared salvation, but instead found himself writing a warning letter. The church was under spiritual attack, and he had to rally believers to stand firm.

What struck me most was the emphasis that this battle is not mainly against the world outside the church, but against those who quietly enter the church and distort God’s grace into a license for sin. The greatest danger comes from within.

This reminded me that we are not defending personal preferences or cultural opinions. We are holding fast to the faith once delivered to the saints — the unchanging truth of the Gospel. While the world constantly changes, the Word of God does not.

I was challenged to ask myself:

  • Do I truly understand what I believe and why?
  • Am I discerning teaching by its fruit, not its appearance?
  • Am I willing to stand for truth, even when it is difficult?

The closing example about a priceless painting that was sold for almost nothing reminded me that if we fail to defend the faith, it is not because the faith has little value, but because we have not yet seen how precious it truly is.

May God give His church wisdom, courage, and faithfulness to hold fast to His truth.

Scripture Focus: Jude 3–4

  Today is January 1st, 2026 . Before rushing into new goals, I spent some time looking back at the past 12 months of data for this blog — the quiet numbers that tell a very honest story. Looking Back at the Numbers Over the past year: 📈 Total views: ~44,600 👀 Daily average visits: ~200 💬 Comments: 19 💰 AdSense income: about $0.01 per month At first glance, these numbers may look small — especially the income. But when I zoom out, I see something more meaningful. This blog has been quietly read every single day . No viral posts. No aggressive promotion. No paid traffic. Just consistent readers arriving through search, bookmarks, and curiosity. That consistency matters. What the Traffic Graph Tells Me The graph over the last 12 months shows something important: Early months were quiet and uneven Mid-year brought steady growth Toward the end of the year, traffic became more stable , with clear spikes when certain posts resonated This tell...

Health Checks and Scaling Strategies for Next.js in Kubernetes This is Part 6 and the final post of the series: Self-Hosting Next.js in Kubernetes (Without Vercel) . At this point, your Next.js standalone app: Builds cleanly Runs in a minimal Docker image Deploys correctly on Kubernetes / OpenShift Serves static assets properly Uses runtime configuration and secrets Now let’s make it resilient and scalable . Why Health Checks Matter Kubernetes relies on health checks to: Know when a pod is ready to receive traffic Restart unhealthy containers Safely roll out new versions Without proper probes, traffic can be sent to a pod that isn’t ready yet. Readiness Probe A readiness probe tells Kubernetes: “This pod can accept traffic.” For most Next.js apps, the root path works well: readinessProbe: httpGet: path: / port: 3000 initialDelaySeconds: 10 periodSeconds: 5 If your app depends on downstream services (APIs, d...
