The famous Liberty Bell in Philadelphia represents America’s Holy Experiment in freedom. What’s the story of this iconic symbol? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. The Liberty Bell was delivered from London in 1752. It cracked twice while being tested due to being cast too brittle. Yet it remains the nation’s symbol of liberty, rung on July 8th, 1776, celebrating the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence. This symbol holds spiritual application as well. Like the flawed Liberty Bell, we also are brittle and cracked. Through the liberty found in a relationship with Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven set free and made whole. In John 8:36, Jesus said, “When the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” True freedom starts with being liberated from the bondage of sin. Make certain you possess the eternal freedom in Christ that only He offers you today. 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.
