This week I’ve focused on God as holy, good, and just. But God is also, love. In English, we use the word “love” for many things,-- I love this food or I love this person. But is that the same as “God is love”? The answer is clearly no. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. 1 John 4:8 says, “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” The Bible equates God and love. God is not only loving; He is the fullest expression of love. Jesus displayed true, perfect, agape love. He demonstrated this love by obeying His Father and coming to earth to die on the cross for you and me. When we deserved death, God gave us life. that it true God-love. The love we show to others should be a God-love. The standard is high. The impact is enormous. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.

April 18, 2024
Transcript: The trials of this life can be overwhelming at times, but one blessing for the Christian is the ability to look forward to heaven, knowing that this world is not our home. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. In Philippians 3:20, Scripture says “our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body.” The aches and pains of our humanness will one day be over. I’ve heard it said that as we grow older that what works hurts and what doesn’t hurt, doesn’t work. We can all feel that way as we struggle with sickness or physical pains, but we know there is a day when all things will be made new and we enjoy eternity in the presence of our Lord with all those who believe.

April 17, 2024
Transcript: It’s good to remember that our past and present is all part of God’s plan. It was that way for Joseph – and he recognized it. It can be the same for me and you as well. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. The final chapter of Genesis reveals that Joseph’s brothers feared retaliation from Joseph or judgment from God for selling their younger brother into http://slavery.and and they deserved it. But Joseph wisely responded, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” The same attitude can be yours today. Sometimes the worst of troubles can overwhelm us in the moment. But when we trust in God, we can rise above those troubles and understand that God seeks not to destroy us, but to develop us. It’s never about us. It’s about God’s work in us and how we can point others to God who meant it for good. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.

April 16, 2024
Transcript: Why does God allow us to go through the storms of life? One reason is to increase our faith because when we see His power and presence in those storms we realize that He is there. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. The disciples of Jesus once found themselves in a boat during a storm and they feared for their lives. Where was Jesus? He was asleep -in the same boat. They woke him and urged Him to help. Jesus’ response was perfect. Why do you fear? He calmly rebuked the storm and peace returned. All it took was a word from God to change their storm to calm. He hadn’t forgotten them. In the storm, they’d just forgotten Him. Christ is always with those who know Him. His timing is perfect. His power unequaled. Don’t fear even when the storms rage. Look to Jesus. He will guide you through your storm. Discover more at American Pastors Network dot net.
