Responsibility Equals Accountability

CGG Weekly by Martin G. Collins

Children frequently practice the same sins as their parents, and they receive the same punishment. However, each is still responsible for his or her own actions.


Freedom and Responsibility

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

When a culture liberalizes, there will be a corresponding rise in irresponsibility, as people become fickle, rash, undependable, untrustworthy or disloyal.


Self-Government and Responsibility (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Our experiences prepare us to be a better judge or king. Though we may exercise righteous judgment, we dare not pass judgment nor justify sin in ourselves.


Self-Government and Responsibility (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Jacob's Trouble, or the Great Tribulation, comes about because people are not meeting their God-given responsibilities: keeping His Commandments.


The Sovereignty of God and Human Responsibility: Part Eleven

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

God's sovereignty and free moral agency set up a seeming paradox. Just how much choice and freedom do we have under God's sovereign rule?


Eternal Responsibilities

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Martin G. Collins

We each have an eternal responsibility to do the will of God, continually seeking Him. Those who do not choose God's way of life will be mercifully put to death.

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

The Founders were optimists. The weakness of a constitutional republic is that people did not, and do not, have the heart to govern themselves.


Worldview and Government

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

The solution to all of man's problems begins incrementally when each called-out person turns his life around, governing himself rightly by yielding to God.


Succeeding in the New World

CGG Weekly

Each individual settler in the New World had not only to protect and provide for himself, but also to sacrifice for the community's sake.


The Peter Principle

Sermon by Mike Ford

As one uses the power provided by God's Holy Spirit, even one who has previously failed miserably can rise to astounding levels of spiritual competence.


A Little Leaven

Sermonette by John W. Ritenbaugh

Our individual sins (committed in our thoughts, words, and behaviors) are never isolated, but sadly influence every other member of the congregation.


Preparing Your Heart

Sermon by John O. Reid

Because the heart represents what and who we are and how we conduct our lives, the condition of our spiritual heart is of the utmost importance to us.


Government (Part Four)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

For us to take on the glory of God, we must have the same kind of access to the Father as Christ did, taking on the responsibility of behaving like His sons.


Will You Be Accounted Worthy for the Kingdom?

Sermon by John O. Reid

Like businessmen reviewing plans, making forecasts, and anticipating accountability, God expects us to define and follow through on spiritual objectives.


What Does God Really Want? (Part 4)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

We are called to fulfill our job as a steward, entrusted with managing, protecting, preserving, attending, and increasing what has been entrusted to us.


Ecclesiastes Resumed (Part Four)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Profit from life is produced by work, requiring sacrifices of time and energy. We have been created for the very purpose of doing good works.


Whose Morality Are We Following?

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Moral legislation over the years has steadily eroded because liberal leaders have rejected biblical standards of morality in favor of personal choice.


Government (Part Six)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The ministry's authority consists of teaching, edifying, and equipping the members for sainthood, but not to wield dictatorial power over their lives.


Government (Part Five)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Only those who are governable will be allowed to govern with God. No government will work without each individual submitting in his area of responsibility.


Are You Fighting the Good Fight?

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Mainstream Christianity espouses the pernicious doctrine of, 'Let go and let God,'" which releases us from any obligation to overcome and build character.


The Essence of Self-Control

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

A lack of self-control, as well as the cultivation of self-indulgent perversions, will characterize large segments of our society living at the end times.


Self-Government: Overcoming

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

We dare not allow anybody to come between God's direct governance and ourselves. Even God's government will not work unless we voluntarily govern ourselves.
