Right now Jude 24-25 (NIV), "To 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."  But, he says his favorite constantly changes.

That’s like asking him "What’s your favorite food?"
