Natural Law

CGG Weekly by David C. Grabbe

Gravity is but one of the many natural laws. These cause-and-effect principles operate continuously in our lives. We either comply, or we suffer the consequences.

A Bed Too Short (Part 2)

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

Americans, living well on credit and enamored with technology, have deceived themselves that they have advanced beyond the consequences of God's Law.

Sowing and Reaping

'Ready Answer' by David C. Grabbe

A basic agricultural principle, what is sown will be reaped, also applies to human behavior. Sin brings death, while following God's Word produces life.

Fast-Forwarding the Tape

'Ready Answer' by David F. Maas

Some of us fast-forward to catch a glimpse of the ending of a story. This curiosity is similar to God's showing us how life's experiences can turn out.

Bugs and Beasts

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Through Amos, God shows us that He uses natural disasters to show His displeasure. If we believe that God is Creator, we should ask ourselves why things occur.

A House Built on Sand

CGG Weekly

Harvard postgraduates, Yale Law School professors, and countless others support policies that to the average citizen seem an affront to common sense.

A Bed Too Short (Part 1)

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Charles Whitaker

Our society is too connected with the present, too enamored of technology, too surfeited on abundance to pay attention to basic laws of cause and effect.

The Commandments (Part Twelve)

Sermon/Bible Study by John W. Ritenbaugh

Parents need to teach their children to consider the long-range consequences of current behaviors, chastening and disciplining them while there is hope.

The Appointed Weeks of Pentecost

Sermon by David C. Grabbe

Each day in the count is a reminder to consider what we are sowing and what we are cultivating because it will assuredly come to fruition and then evaluation.

Lamentations (Part Two)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The Lamentations show poignant before-and-after vignettes of formerly happy times contrasted with the horror of the present as God punishes Judah.

Deuteronomy (Part 4)

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

If we learn to fear and love God, loyalty, faithfulness and commandment-keeping will naturally follow, and we will instinctively hasten to depart from evil.

Spiritual Strongholds (Part Two): Faithful Trust

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

The disastrous defeat at the city of Ai and the ill-advised treaty with the Gibeonites were both the direct result of not consulting with God.

Biblical Principles of Justice (Part One)

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

All authority for law and justice resides in God; when God is taken out of the picture, darkness and chaos dominate. God's laws create a better life and character.

Loyalty

Sermon by James Beaubelle

As God's called out saints, the God given human longing for freedom is not the pursuit of uninhibited self-will, but the disciplined, loyal use of our choices to follow God and build righteous character. Sadly, the rich young ruler was trapped by his own wealth. When we survey Israel's rebellion and the prodigal son who squandered his inheritance, we realize that liberty without wisdom, law, and loyalty leads to blindness, bondage, and self-destruction, while liberty guided by godly vision, humility, and responsibility leads to life, joy and spiritual growth. Ultimately, Christ offers us the only freedom that matters, namely the freedom to choose righteousness, reject destructive paths, and faithfully follow him toward eternal life.

Ecclesiastes Resumed (Part Thirty-Nine): Ecclesiastes 11:9-10

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The fleeting time of youth is a time of strength, exploration, and boundless opportunities, offering the freedom to try new things as well as make mistakes.
