Transcript: Do you know that the Bible actually teaches that believers are to prepare for persecution? We’re not called to avoid tough times, but rather to anticipate them. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. In 2 Corinthians 4, the apostle Paul wrote he was “persecuted, but not forsaken.” He understood that he would face difficult times, just like other followers of Christ. He also encouraged believers to prepare for the hardships we face by looking forward to heaven. Paul wrote “do not lose heart” and to look to “the things that are unseen.” Our best defense against hardship is not searching for an escape, but looking forward to eternity. When we gaze at our future, we’ll be better prepared to face the challenges of the present. Scripture calls this the way to be “renewed day by day” as we seek to live faithfully despite the persecutions we may face. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.

Mother’s Day Series: To Honor is to Obey
May 8, 2024
Transcript: During this week preceding Mother’s Day, it’s good to think about our moms and give them due honor. What does God say about honoring our parents? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and another Stand in the Gap Minute. Since God designed the idea of family as 1 man and 1 woman in devotion to each other and if blessed of God with children, we should honor our moms in a special way if they’ve done well in raising us to fear God and walk in His steps. The 5th Commandment says to honor our fathers and mothers. But honoring is more than being thankful. To honor includes obeying them as God’s stewards over us and submitting ourselves to their direction as we would to God. When done well, the example of children obeying their parents, moms instructing their children in the ways of God are powerful.
