Endangering Our Children
'WorldWatch' by Richard T. RitenbaughThe material presents lesbianism as part of a broader pattern of homosexual activism that seeks to normalize same-sex relationships and parenting despite contrary evidence. Objective studies show that children raised by lesbians are up to twelve times more likely to identify as gay, with 58 percent doing so compared to only three percent in the general population. Such findings have drawn intense opposition from activists who label researchers as frauds or political plants in an effort to suppress data on the detrimental effects of this lifestyle. Parallel research on children raised by homosexual parents, including lesbians, documents elevated rates of poor impulse control, depression, suicidal thoughts, mental health needs, homosexual identification, cohabitation, infidelity, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual molestation, lower income, and substance abuse. These outcomes stand in contrast to the family structure of biological mother and father that God endorses as the best setting for children. The push to advance lesbian and gay parenting therefore reflects a willingness to subordinate children's welfare to the goal of reshaping societal standards of morality, consistent with the perilous conditions predicted for the last days.
As In the Days of Lot
'Prophecy Watch' by Earl L. HennLesbianism is one expression of the homosexuality that God calls an abomination, and He says in Leviticus 18:22 and I Corinthians 6:9 that those who practice it must repent or they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. In the days leading to Christ's return, society grows like Sodom, treating homosexual practice as normal. Lesbianism shares in this shift. Attitudes have moved step by step from viewing it as an illness or perversion, to a cultural minority, to a harmless, neutral orientation, like blue eyes or red hair, that a person did not choose and cannot change. A young woman of twenty who realizes she is a lesbian now shrugs her shoulders, informs her family, and gets on with an otherwise mundane life. Lesbian groups are spreading worldwide, among them Estonia's all-lesbian group begun in 1990 and Hong Kong's in 1994. Pressure for marriage rights continues to grow, and acceptance is expected to expand. God warns His modern Israelite people, calling them Sodom and Gomorrah, that openly declaring such sin without hiding it leads to their destruction (Isaiah 1:10; 3:8-9). When Christ returns, He will make God's Spirit available to all, teach those in this lifestyle that they can repent and change, and eradicate it from the earth.

CGG Weekly by Charles WhitakerTo be deviant is to be abnormal. But that is not deterring the gay community from its logic-defying campaign to convince us that deviant behavior is normal.
The 'Gaying' of America
'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. RitenbaughLesbianism, alongside homosexuality, is openly visible and militantly seeking recognition in America, with significant political influence despite small numbers. The homosexual lobby, including support for lesbian rights, has become a formidable force in politics, backed by media sympathy and substantial financial assistance. Eight states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws protecting against discrimination, reflecting growing acceptance. The agenda includes demands for legal same-sex marriages, adoption rights, and other benefits, which signal a broader push for societal change. God judges such practices as against nature, with Paul specifically condemning lesbianism in Romans 1:26, highlighting that such behaviors will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Historically, the rise of such perversions in society has been followed by destruction, indicating a swift decline when these practices become prevalent. As immorality spreads, especially among leadership, the nation's collapse accelerates, making it ripe for disaster.

Homosexual Marriage?
Sermon by Richard T. RitenbaughHomosexuality is not a lifestyle, but a sin directly against God, flouting God's creation of male and female, and perverting the natural use of the human body.
Divorce and Remarriage
Sermon/Bible Study by John W. RitenbaughAny given doctrine must be built layer by layer, combining and comparing scriptures rather than allowing a single scripture to determine the doctrine. When we understand that porneia includes all the hideous perverted sexual sins that go beyond ordinary adultery- including bestiality, pedophilia, homosexuality, incest, and every other imaginable sexual perversion, we understand that Jesus gave a greater latitude and flexibility in these divorce decisions than we had earlier assumed (based exclusively upon adulterous 'fraud'). Any violence against the marriage contract (stemming from unconversion) would constitute grounds for divorce, and would permit the converted partner to remarry. Mutual access to the tree of life (God's Holy Spirit) gives marriage the best (actually the only) chance to succeed.
