JudeNews (and Christian Methodists), however, has a job to do within in a small section of the body of Christ. We see our task to warn Christians of the evil and false teaching
that are seating validation "within" the church. Scripture is clear that
this is an appropriate task of the body of Christ. The book of Jude is
devoted to this task, and it is that book that has become our rallying cry.
Other writings in scripture also are full of warnings and instructions as to
how to deal with unrepentant sin within the body of believers. Evil outside
of the church and its institutions is a different matter.

This is what scripture says in regards to these matter, the quotation is
from Jude in the New International Version.

***
 To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by
Jesus Christ:

    Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

    Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the
salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the
faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. For certain men whose
condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you.
They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for
immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
     Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord
delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not
believe.  And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but
abandoned their own home--these he has kept in darkness, bound with
everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.  In a similar way, Sodom
and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual
immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the
punishment of eternal fire.
     In the very same way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject
authority and slander celestial beings.  But even the archangel Michael,
when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare
to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke
you!"  Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not
understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning
animals--these are the very things that destroy them.
     Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for
profit into Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion.
    These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the
slightest qualm--shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without
rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and
uprooted--twice dead. They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their
shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved
forever.
     Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the
Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge
everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have
done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have
spoken against him."  These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow
their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for
their own advantage.
     But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ
foretold.  They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who
will follow their own ungodly desires." These are the men who divide you,
who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
     But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and
pray in the Holy Spirit.  Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
     Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save
them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing
stained by corrupted fleshTo him who is able to keep you from falling and to
present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy--
to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through
Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

(Jude N.I.V.)

Although JudeNews (and Christian Methodists) may be negative, it is not the focus of my life. It is good to know these things and be warned of them, but our focus should be on "him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- to the only God our
Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our
Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore!"
