Romans 14, Judging, Food, and Sin

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

We need to be careful about what we consume, but we cannot be judgmental if a brother cannot afford organically grown food and must depend on inferior food.


Our Genetically Altered Foods (Part Two)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

We do not face an immediate lack of food today, but we face a situation where the only food we can acquire does not function in the way God designed.


Our Genetically Altered Foods (Part One)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

In this time of GMOs, we cannot always be sure of the purity of the food we consume. Judging one another for carelessness is not an option open to us.


Our Genetically Altered Foods (Part Three)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

Our food has been hopelessly contaminated by genetic modification. However, we must not look down on others who are unable to purchase organic foods.


Women and Fetuses at Risk!

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

BT corn has been engineered to form its own pesticide, a chemical which is harmful to human beings. Pregnant women are especially at risk.


The Food Crisis

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

Half the food which could have been used for human consumption has been lost. Food waste, unfortunately, has been increasing exponentially.


The Microbe is Nothing, the Terrain is Everything

Commentary by Bill Onisick

We should be more concerned about a compromised immune system than about germs. Instead of fearing the virus, we should fear breaking God's health laws.


Are Things Upside Down? (Part Two)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

If we do not protect our bodies from defilement from processed foods, we will destroy ourselves. We need to ask God's blessing and cleansing over our food.


Here's to Your Good Health!

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

Maintaining good health is a vital part of our duty to glorify God. We should study health and ourselves so we can maintain the temple of the Holy Spirit.


Our Reasonable Service

Sermonette by Bill Onisick

One really cannot have proper spiritual health without maintaining a physical regime of diet, exercise, and rest. We have a responsibility to educate ourselves.


Maintaining Good Health (Part 3)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

The Bible contains 700 references to the act of eating. Eating reminds us that God's provision and human need also apply on a spiritual level.


Stewardship of God's Temple (Part Two)

Sermon by David F. Maas

Even though individuals do not necessarily practice spiritual fasting for physical reasons, the physical benefits supply types that teach us spiritual things.


Stewardship of God's Temple (Part One): Controlling Our Appetites

Sermon by David F. Maas

After God's calling, the human body becomes the temple of God's Spirit, a reality which obliges us to care for our bodies because they belong to God.


Maintaining Good Health (Part 1)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Stewardship of our bodies is (like the Levitical maintenance of the temple) an aspect of holiness, strengthening our relationship with Jesus Christ.


Clean and Unclean Meats

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Nothing about the clean and unclean food laws has changed from the beginning; those statutes continue to transcend the Old and New Covenants.


Maintaining Good Health (Part 14)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Proper diet demands responsible choices, and if we do not yield to God's laws governing nutrition, choosing the best foods, we will eventually pay the price.


Are Things Upside Down? (Part One)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

The USDA has paid costly subsidies to farmers and has mandated that they grow hybridized, gene-spliced corn and wheat, which produce a high gluten content.


Did God Change the Law of Clean and Unclean Meats?

'Ready Answer' by John O. Reid

Were the clean and unclean laws abolished at the cross? A closer look at the pertinent New Testament scriptures reveals God's intent.


Eating: How Good It Is! (Part Six)

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh

In the West, both food and information are readily available. We need self-control and a dedication to truth in order to live a godly life.


Fast or Famine

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God has used famine as one of the tools to get the Israelites' attention when they violated the terms of the Covenant with Him, forsaking His holy law.


Conditions for Blessings

Sermonette by Martin G. Collins

When people test God's promises, they come to appreciate the blessings which follow obedience to His laws. Most of the blessings we receive today are spiritual.
