“Contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” “The faith” was the body of truth given once for all. In the Book of Acts it is called the apostles’ doctrine: “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). Notice that the apostles’ doctrine is the first thing mentioned. Since that is number one on God’s church parade, our church is not a church unless it is doing just that. – Dr. J. Vernon McGee

“Commit thy way unto the LORD.” Many Christians criticize and find fault with God—they have not committed their way to the Lord.
“Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” Give God time. He will work things out in your life. God is good, my friend. The heathen concept of God is as a terrible Being. Their idols are hideous. Many Christians view God that way. They think of Him as sort of a villain who will turn on you at any moment. He never will—He is your Friend. He loves you. He wants to save you, but you have to commit your way to Him. – Dr. J. Vernon McGee
