Evil Is Real (Part Two)

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God's Word mentions evil hundreds of times, so we cannot shrug off as a minor affair. If God treats evil as very real and present, then we must take notice.

Behind Enemy Lines (Part Two)

CGG Weekly by Clyde Finklea

Satan is the opponent of God, of believers, and of all that is right and good. He may appear as 'an angel of light', but this is only a façade.

Behind Enemy Lines: Lucifer, Helel, and Satan

Sermonette by Clyde Finklea

Satan was first named Helel, or 'son of the dawn.' When Jerome translated the Hebrew into Latin, he named him Lucifer, or light-bringer, a title of Christ!

Evil Is Real (Part Three)

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

We fight Satan by defending our ground, and we accomplish this by avoiding temptation, doing good as we are able, and overcoming the evils within.

Evil Is Real (Part Six)

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

God has called us, not just to suffer, but also to return goodness for evil. We have been called to react the same way to suffering that Christ did: by doing good.

Evil Is Real (Part Four)

CGG Weekly by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Vanquish the sins at their point of origin—the human heart—and our deeds will be clean before God.

The Reality of Evil

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The best weapon against the evil of our human nature is to develop the mind of Christ within us to displace our carnal nature.

Abstaining From Evil

'Ready Answer' by John O. Reid

God does not just want us not to sin, He also wants us not even to appear to be doing evil. We must guard their thoughts, words and deeds at all times.

The Model Prayer (Part Eight): Testing and Deliverance

Bible Study by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The traditional translation of the last request in Jesus' Model Prayer (Matthew 6:13) suffers from poor word choice, twisting its encouraging message.

Speaking the Truth in Love

Sermon by Bill Onisick

Appropriating the reflective Water Mirror in Bordeaux as a metaphor of how the heart mirrors the soul (Proverbs 27:19), this message teaches that our speech reveals the true condition of our hearts before Almighty God. Although we have been created in God's image, our immersion in sin gravely distorts that image like ripples in still water. It is only through emulating our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through the work of God's Holy Spirit can we be restored to reflect His perfect nature. Throughout the scripture (Matthew 12, Ephesians 4, and James), we learn that even truthful words can be brandished as tools of destruction when delivered with pride or malice. Godly speech flowing from a pure heart reflects the light of Christ, bringing unity and healing. God's called-out saints must reject sarcasm, gossip, hash tone, and critical or demeaning commentary regardless of whether it is written or implied, leaving public correction to the ministry. We need to take care as to how we use social media, too often a platform for assassination of character. Our words are not merely sounds, but instead spiritual evidence of who we really reflect—the evil darkness of the flesh or the godly light of Christ. Let us remember that what we say will reflect the corruption of carnal human nature. Our transformation does not consist merely in what we believe, but how we speak with love, humility, and edifying our spiritual siblings.
