A "Gimme" Nation

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The noble trait of self-sufficiency, long associated with the American spirit, has sadly been eclipsed by a spoiled brat, whiney, 'gimme' welfare mentality.


Peace and Safety

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

Without national repentance, there will be national calamity. Being the world's sole superpower matters not a whit if God is against us.


How Much Does the Snowflake Matter?

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

As one snowflake does not cause an avalanche by itself, wisdom dictates that we cogently size up potential cause-effect relationships.


Unprepared

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

Only those close to God will be able to handle the turmoil. No carnal solutions offered by survivalists will ultimately save us from these calamities.


Preparing for Bad Times (Part 2)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

To assume that God will take care of us without our making an effort to provide for ourselves is a dangerous presumption.


Lessons From a Sandpile

Commentary by David C. Grabbe

Inspired by a sandpile, physicists developed a computer model to simulated the critical juncture when a single grain of sand would cause an avalanche.


The Goodness and Severity of God

Sermon by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

On the heels of destruction will come the forces of reconciliation. The forces of destruction and construction will appear to be virtually simultaneous.


Economics in Prophecy

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Many doubters think that the Bible is not sophisticated enough to comment on modern ideas, but God's Word factors economics into the end-time prophecies.


The Entertainment Craze

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Elizabeth Taylor exemplified the hedonistic, pleasure-mad lifestyle that destroyed the ancient Roman Empire.


Prepare to Meet Your God! (The Book of Amos) (Part One)

Booklet by John W. Ritenbaugh

The book of Amos is an astounding prophecy, closely paralleling the conditions in the Western world today. Amos reveals how unrighteousness undermines society.


The Philosophy of Black Friday

Sermonette by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Black Friday stirs up greedy, materialistic, covetous attitudes. When a nation reaches a materialistic mindset, it is on its way to oblivion.


Amos (Part Five)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Modern Israel cannot see the connection between its own faithlessness to the covenant and the violence of society that mirrors her spiritual condition.


The Not-A-Problem Folk

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Charles Whitaker (1944-2021)

We have no bold Phineases today who are unafraid of political correctness. The die has been cast for morally bankrupt America.


Divided We Fall

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The social indicators are not improving as a whole, and as each year goes by, behaviors that were once thought beyond the pale are accepted into the mainstream.


Amos (Part Fourteen)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Amos indicts rampant, dishonest practices, placing gain above honesty, morality, or ethics, and arrogantly and covetously exploiting the needy for profit.


The Book of Joel (Part One)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

When Joel describes the devastating locust plagues, instead of promising a silver lining on a very black cloud, he says things are going to get intensely worse.


Demography Is Destiny

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Population trends become reliable trends of future national consequences. We do not have a debt crisis as much as a death crisis.


The 'Gaying' of America

'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Not only is homosexuality out of the closet in America, it is entirely out in the open and militantly demanding its recognition and acceptance.


Hedging Our Bet

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

Mankind desires to see into the future to control what is to come, realizing that knowing a future outcome can take the hazard out of decision-making.


The Coming Anglo-American Crisis

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

The nation cannot continue as it is. The questions that remain are: How long do we have? How bad is it going to get? What will our nation look like afterward?


The Patterns of God

Sermon by John O. Reid

The final conflict at Armageddon will cause mankind to remember what their desire to disobey God, and what their obsession go to war, has cost them.


South Africa's Land Confiscation

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The sinister handwriting is on the wall for South Africa, hell-bent to follow the same Marxist principles which destroyed Zimbabwe.


The Second Exodus (Part Three)

'Prophecy Watch' by David C. Grabbe

At some point in the near future, the modern descendants of Israel will learn of their true identity—and have to face the consequences of that knowledge.


Prophets and Prophecy (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy of the 'Elijah to come.' We must apply duality of prophecy carefully and cautiously rather than indiscriminately.


Psalms: Book Three (Part Two)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Book Three of the Psalms addresses the compulsion to fast and to mourn. Judah's faithlessness brought about the horrific destruction of Jerusalem on Av 9.


Psalms: Book Two (Part Four)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Eight of the psalms of Book Two were not written by David, but by Asaph, the sons of Korah, and Solomon. These psalms have more of a group emphasis.


Identity as Sovereign

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

With mankind as the pinnacle and the undisputed authority, and one's Identity unassailable, we are left with a whole planet of little sovereigns.


Amos (Part Eleven)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh
