Middle East Democracy?

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

No form of human government can ensure peace, and the reason the word 'human.' People have a carnal nature that always brings them into conflict with each other.


The Gospel of Freedom and Democracy

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

For good or ill, John Winthrop's 'city on a hill' imagery has come to pass in the United States — but the light it is emitting is feeble at best.


Would Jesus Christ Vote? (Part One)

Bible Study by Martin G. Collins

Because it is not directly mentioned in Scripture, people often ask if voting is biblically condoned. The real question is, would Jesus vote?


A Lesson From History

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

A democracy only works when the citizenry are moral and capable of governing themselves, neither of which the current citizenry possess.


If You Can Keep It

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

Americans, having by and large lost both their morality and their sense of vigilance, now stand on the verge of losing the republic.


One Speaking For Many

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh

The United States is not a democracy (that is, popular or "mob" rule) but instead a representative republic in which citizens elect representatives.


Whence Comes Leadership?

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

Are we living in such a manner that will incline God to bless us with good leadership rather than curse us with leadership that will lead us astray?


An Important Reality (Part 1)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Government unions are unwilling to sacrifice, but feel that their pay is an entitlement. Do we also feel that we are entitled to God's blessings?


Why We Do Not Vote

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

In America, where the political process is hailed as free and democratic, it is considered somehow "un-American" not to vote whenever the polling stations open.


To Vote or Not to Vote

Sermonette by Joseph B. Baity

God has power over all governments. Because all power ultimately derives from God, we should not presume to take the authority to raise up leaders.


On Taking Bribes

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Once the electorate understands it can "get something" from the government, democracy will disintegrate into self-centered coalitions, grasping for handouts.


The Abuse of Freedom

Commentary by Joseph B. Baity

Change agents in the United States are engaging in a deliberate assault on free speech, which the Founding Fathers protected through the Bill of Rights.


Simple Gifts: American Reflection

Commentary by Mark Schindler

Liberty cannot exist without morality, or morality without faith. Today, humanists are destroying God's 'simple gifts' that made America exceptional.


Globalism (Part Two): The Tents of Shem

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker

Globalism is a fact of our age, but what ideas undergird it? Most of globalism's underlying principles have their origins in the Israelitish peoples.


Globalism (Part One): Founded on Fear and Faithlessness

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker

What is globalism? Where is it headed? Does it have a balancing counterpart? Who is driving it? What does it have to do with the prophecies of the end time?


How Was It Accomplished So Easily? (Part Two)

Commentary by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Like the gullible German public in the time of Hitler is the equally gullible American electorate, oblivious to the calamity which will soon befall them.


Globalism (Part Eight): A Force for Conflict

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker

Globalism, as it comes in contact with tribalism, often causes conflict because the two systems are incompatible. Such a collision is prophesied.


'Christianity Today' and Trump

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Donald Trump is not a paragon of virtue but is a change from the doctrines entrenched in Washington. Personal morality is not enough to remove anyone from office.


The Unshakable Kingdom!

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Because all things will be violently shaken, God commands His people to place their trust in the unshakeable Kingdom of God which will displace all empires.


Tyranny by the Few

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

The media bears responsibility for our downward spiral through marginalizing the conservative majority. It presents a warped reality, and gradually makes it stick.


We Give Our Heads and Hearts

Sermon by Mark Schindler

God's people (as ambassadors and pilgrims) must pledge their hearts, minds, and allegiance to the coming Kingdom of God, which will last forever.


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.


Searching for Israel (Part Eleven): Manasseh Found

Article by Charles Whitaker

Jacob's prophecy in Genesis 48 promises that Manasseh will be a great nation. One nation in today's world is the unmistakable fulfillment of this prophecy.


Strategies for Escaping Babylon (Part One)

Sermon by David F. Maas

Every form of government fashioned by carnal human beings, including democracies and constitutional republics, are riddled with fatal flaws.


Globalism (Part Nine): Running To and Fro

'Prophecy Watch' by Charles Whitaker

Globalism is a force to bring about widespread dispersions of peoples before the end to bring about 'the time of Jacob's trouble.'


Liberty and Justice for All

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

God has freed us from the bondage of sin, the breaking of His law. Liberty comes only from obeying God and accepting the positive yoke of Jesus Christ.


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.


A Government Like the Nations

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

Sometimes God's most effective judgment is to give His people what they want and let them suffer for it.


Ecclesiastes Resumed (Part Twenty-Nine)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

We are not privy to God's, but we must realize that He has the prerogative to impose both blessings and calamity, the latter in response to disobedience.


Are We Already In Captivity?

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

Major curses, including economic oppression, famine, pestilence, mental illness, alien invasion, the scattering of modern Israel are yet to occur.


Government (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Our attitude toward government must be one of submission. The church cannot perform its function without the cooperation of the carnal civil governments.


Things Which Cannot Be Shaken

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

All worldly institutions will be shaken, including America. Only the everlasting word of God and ultimate establishment of the Kingdom will never be moved.
