24 Jul 2012; Jude 17-25

 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

(Jude 1:17-23 ESV)

Beware
It has been foretold - by Christ Himself  that there will be scoffers. Beware of they?
These are people that cause division, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit

Beef up
How? In faith, pray, keep in the love of God, have mercy, save them.

 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
(Jude 1:24-25 ESV)

Bestow
God, through Christ is the one who enable us.

I am in the world, so how to be not of the world? Keep away - the world has its sets of values, but we need not need to please them. Business ethics doing the right and proper way.

If I am want to be not of the world, then in in Christ. Love God, keep faith and be in His business. How? What is my heart yearns - what greed am I after, what fear I am afraid? I greed for Him? I fear God? It is the heart matters.

God will enable, but it is up to us to want to follow His will or your will.
