Fault Lines

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

The blame game has escalated from everywhere, including the political left and right, not unlike tectonic plates colliding, causing a major earthquake.


Reacting to Criticism

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

All have been guilty of malicious gossip; consequently, they should not become offended when they hear gossip about themselves (Ecclesiastes 7:21).


Criticism: The Foolish Habit

CGG Weekly by Clyde Finklea

Instead of criticizing others, we need to engage in some honest self-criticism. We have plenty of faults of our own; there is no need to look for them in others.


Penalty of Death

Sermonette by Bill Onisick

Gossip is like scattering feathers in a wind: It is just as impossible to reverse the damage done by gossip as it is to regather the feathers.


Grace, Mercy, and Favor (Part One): To the Beaten

Sermon by Mark Schindler

God's people may fall into the trap of forgetting the sinful past from which God rescued them and come to look disdainfully on those not yet called.


Unity

Sermon by James Beaubelle

The virtue of love is the overarching framework for unity, demanding rigorous control over the tongue, understanding its capacity to destroy.


Five Major Problems of the Pilgrimage

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Learning to judge is one of the most important qualities of a leader. Consequently, Christ warned that intemperance in judging will act as a boomerang.


Specks as Mirrors

'Ready Answer' by David F. Maas

Our ability to see the specks in others' eyes may indicate spiritual deficiencies in ourselves, as we project our own sins onto others.


Using Righteous Judgment

Sermon by Kim Myers

When we minimize sin, we become displeasing to God. God expects His people to confront brothers and sisters in Christ gently, without becoming judgmental.


The Refuser of Festivities

'Ready Answer' by Ronny H. Graham

The Bible confronts party-poopers who throw a wet blanket on an enjoyable time, condemning their killjoy attitudes and commanding us to rejoice appropriately.


The Purposes of Aging

Sermon/Bible Study by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Modern society is obsessed with youth and staying young, but aging is a natural process God intended as part of life. Aging is a process for gaining wisdom.


The Law's Purpose and Intent

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The effectiveness of a law is found in its purpose and intent rather than the letter. Love and mercy constitute the spiritual fulfillment of the Law.
