Black Friday marks the traditional first day of the Christmas shopping season, yet it has also become a concerning symbol of our nation’s materialism. How can we redeem Black Friday? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. The term Black Friday has been used since the 1960s. However, recent years have seen the day expand into traffic jams and even fighting. Some retailers now employ armed guards to maintain order among tense shoppers. As we watch the chaos of Black Friday, it reminds us of two important biblical concepts. First, God calls us to be content with what we have. Second, we are not to love the things of this world. As He looks at us today, may we seek to live content with the amazing blessings He has already provided and seek to genuinely bless the lives of others this holiday season.

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.
