Tyranny by the Few

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

As America descends into disorder, it is evident that the foundational principle of a government of the people, by the people, for the people is eroding. This republic was established on the belief that tyranny opposes the natural rights of man, and a free society can only thrive when power is removed from the elite few and placed, at least indirectly, into the hands of the many. Yet, it appears such a society is not destined to endure. Despite clear majority opinions on various issues, legislators and politicians often disregard the will of the people, allowing a disconnect to grow between public sentiment and policy. This marginalization of the majority, fueled by influences like the overwhelmingly liberal media, distorts reality and normalizes what was once taboo, effectively imposing a form of tyranny by shaping perceptions against the common will. Over time, as people are repeatedly told their views are extremist or outdated, the will to resist fades, leaving them feeling like outsiders in their own land.

The Tyranny of the Majority: Satan's Tool to Destroy Nations

Commentary by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

Terrain Theory advocates undermine their cause by syncretizing with Eastern religions or denying the existence of germs altogether, something Béchamp never did.

Truth Has Fallen in the Streets

Commentary by Clyde Finklea

Tyranny grows where truth has fallen in the street and justice cannot enter. Isaiah 59:14-15 describes a society that condemns the innocent and acquits the guilty, and one in which the person who departs from evil makes himself prey. Honest people, including Christians, become lawful prey, and those in power can destroy anyone who will not agree with them. Dissenters are cancelled and their lives targeted, backed by the news media, Big Tech, Big Pharma, and rich and powerful interests. Underneath it all is the desire to control people. Mandates that bar the unvaccinated from flying, eating in restaurants, holding certain jobs, or attending certain universities strip away real choice. Such coercion echoes the Revelation warning that those who refuse the mark cannot buy or sell. It is not the mark of the beast, but it shows how quickly such control can arrive. Leaders who lie so constantly that they believe their own lies leave no room for justice, compassion, mercy, or righteousness, only lawlessness, corruption, violence, and oppression. A well-packaged web of lies sold gradually to the masses makes the truth sound preposterous and its speaker a lunatic. This condition matches the days of Noah, when every intent of man's heart was only evil continually. The LORD sees it and is displeased that there is no justice. The stage is being set for the end, and Christ's return is nearer than it has ever been.

Humanism's Flooding Influence (Part Three)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

James Madison and the other founding fathers realized that a democratic republic would only work in a godly, moral, or Christian administration.

Unity and Godly Diversity in One Body

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Mark Schindler

To take sides in any type of national struggle is to battle on behalf of mankind's wrong-headed, godless attempts to avoid the consequences of sin.

Authority and Government

Sermon by John O. Reid

Too many feel that they are above the law, but paradoxically, laws proliferate when corruption prevails. We must be subject to all law, God's and man's.

To Know Good and Evil

Sermon by Mark Schindler

Every human government that has ever existed, including the American constitutional republic, has been flawed because it has not looked to God for what is right and wrong.

Coming: A Truly Benevolent Ruler

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

C.S. Lewis once wrote, 'Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.' In light of human nature, this is very true.

All Sifted Like Wheat (Part Two)

Sermon by Mark Schindler

God's people cannot yoke themselves unequally with the philosophy or politics of the world. Invoking God's name is not equivalent to obeying Him.

How Does God View Human Government?

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

As obnoxious as tyrannical power may seem, we have the obligation to behave lawfully. Even the vilest of leaders has been allowed by God to rule.

What Makes a Civilization Great?

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

A culture or a nation that employs the strongman principle of government may have a colorful history, but it will never amount to a truly great civilization.

Intensity is Increasing: Are You Listening?

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

It is far more important for God's called-out ones to be ready than to know the time of Christ's return, an event to which even He is not privy.

Unmasking Wolves in Sheep's Clothing (Part One)

Commentary by David F. Maas

A globalist tyranny is being built under the guise of public health and philanthropy. Trusted medical experts and billionaire benefactors, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates, are narcissistic dictators with messiah complexes who pose as saviors while advancing the aims of elites who want to thin the world's population by 95%. Gates has declared that every person on earth will be vaccinated with no alternative, and Fauci wants mandatory vaccination with no exceptions. The media and Silicon Valley censors, the thought police, silence dissenting voices such as Dr. Francis Boyle, who warned of the biological warfare industry. Meanwhile the public is conditioned to revere these figures and to trade liberty for security, as Israel's forebears did in Egypt. Bans on handshakes and embraces are an unconscionable intrusion on God's called-out ones. The progressive manipulation toward conformity leads to a tyrannical globalist gulag. God sends a deluding influence on those who bow to the idols of medical experts and technology and take pleasure in wickedness (II Thessalonians 2:11-12), and even the elect are not safe from such delusions (Matthew 24:24). These wolves in sheep's clothing may look fair but feel profoundly foul, and only God can protect His people from their evil machinations.

The Last Throes of Capitalism

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Capitalism is based on the ability to own land, making it possible to produce wealth. In the new socialist economic system, we are becoming economic marionettes.

Mightier Than the Sword (Part Six)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Rousseau's malignant ideas have metastasized into a virulent cancer of collectivism, socialism and Communism, the centralization of power.

Conspiracy Theory (Part Sixteen)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Satan has been immensely successful, taking control of secular education at major universities via the philosophies entrenched in God-defying humanism.

Why Things Won't Change

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Only by a massive returning to God will the political landscape change for the better. The culture will only change for the worse if mobs get their way.

The Sound of Someone Listening

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

It behooves God's people to learn to listen, never missing a good chance to 'shut up.' We must practice the sound of silence.

Jihad in Our Streets

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The spirit of jihad has jumped its bounds, eagerly infecting a generation of deluded, mis-educated American youth to take to the streets in a new holy war.

Preventing the Warfare State

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Satan has taught mankind the craft of war between nations, within families, in politics, and in sports. We must resist being dragged into partisan battles.
