Transcript:

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.

Fearing God Series: Discover Truth

April 25, 2024

Transcript: Understanding the fear of God starts with hating what God hates and pursuing the Truth of God. Prov. 2:5 says, if a person seeks truth, he will find it. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and another Stand in the Gap Minute. If our nation’s to turn from its pursuit of evil and the choice not to fear or respect God we must stop trying to define Truth as we see it, and discover Truth as God defines it. A society that seeks to define truth in their own eyes does so at their own peril. If Jesus Christ Who is the Truth becomes the object of the person pursuing Truth, then Truth is discovered, and the fear of God understood. The Bible makes it clear in the book of John that Jesus as Truth results in freedom and blessing. That’s what America needs.

Fearing God Series: Seek Knowledge

April 24, 2024

Transcript: Since fearing God means hating evil, pride, arrogancy, the way of evil and perverted speech, do you fear God? Prov. 1:7 says that the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American pastors network and another Stand in the gap Minute. According to Proverbs 1:29, those who choose not to fear God are marked by their hate of truth and knowledge. They are despisers of what is good, therefore God says they will eat of their own fruit, and be filled with the consequences of their own sinful choices. But God makes it clear that he has offered a way of hope and freedom and it starts with fearing Him. Proverbs says that if we cry after knowledge, and seek understanding in the fear of God we will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

April 23, 2024

Transcript: Defying moral truth, glorifying sexual perversions, gleefully murdering our babies, redefining marriage and defending open borders, is gross wickedness and a defiance of God’s plan for society. It assures God’s judgment on America. So how can we turn God’s wrath to God’s blessing in our land? By fearing God. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and another Stand in the Gap Minute. So what is fearing God? In Prov. 8:13, the Bible says that fearing God means we will hate 5 things. Evil, pride, arrogancy, the way of evil, and perverted speech. The fear of God starts with knowing God, learning what He loves and what He hates, then choosing to love what he loves and hate what He hates. Fearing God is a choice. Prov. 1:7 says that this fear of God is the beginning of knowledge. Join with us at Stand in the Gap radio and TV and choose to fear God and hate what He hates. Our nation’s future depends on it.
