Five Easily-Neglected Doctrines

Here are five easily neglected doctrines, which, if carelessly observed or distorted, could jeopardize the salvation of God's people.


Character and Leadership

Sermon/Bible Study by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Leaders cannot compartmentalize their personal and public lives. Immorality in private life will bleed into public leadership. Jesus condemned hypocrisy.

The Glory of God (Part 4): Glorifying God

Christ's example teaches us to pray humbly in all situations, including decision making, resisting temptation, and acquiring spiritual strength.


Dedication is a Necessity

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Devoted dedication to a cause—God's cause—is a vital character quality needed for every Christian. We are required to put Him before all else in life.

God 'took pleasure' in Christ's being bruised, not in the pain and suffering that His Son endured, but in the ultimate goal of adding to His Family.
