February 7, 2025

Transcript: In anticipation of National marriage week, I’ve identified thus far 4 moral principles of marriage. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer Pres of the American Pastors Network, with another Stand in the Gap Minute. At APN we emphasize the authority of Scripture for deciding all issues including marriage and urge pastors and parents to defend and live out God’s model in their pulpits and in their homes. The 5th moral principle undergirding marriage is God’s declaration in Ephesians 5 that physical marriage between one man and one woman is holy and pictures the spiritual relationship between Christ and the Church. God’s plan of Redemption through Jesus Christ to the Church is the picture of true love and unity between God and man and why all efforts to redefine God’s design is a direct attack on God Himself, His Plan of Redemption, and Jesus Christ. Will you join us at Stand in the Gap Radio and TV in illustrating Christ’s love for the Church in our marriages and families and live out God’s design for marriage?

Walking with God Series: The Genuine Walk

March 14, 2025

Transcript: This week we’ve considered the genuine Christian walk. How’s your walk? Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. Is your walk genuine and pleasing to God? Is it identifiable by both the world and the true Believers? Our walk should be with God, like Enoch. That’s a personal walk. Our walk should be by faith not sight. That’s a purposeful walk where our focus is above faith. Our walk should be in the Spirit. That’s a powerful walk. Our walk should be in the light. That’s a walk marked by holiness, obedient, living in the light of God’s Word, and reflecting Jesus who is the Light. The true Christian walk should be so contrasted to the darkness, so focused on the eternal that our fellowship with other true believers will be sweet and our love for other so strong the world will take note and want what we have.

Walking with God Series: Walking in the Light

March 13, 2025

Transcript: Walking with God, by faith, and in the Spirit are all pleasing to God. In I John 1:7, the Bible also says to ‘walk in the light, as He is in the light. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. While walking in the light is a common metaphor in contemporary Christian culture meaning, acting correctly. The real meaning is much deeper. Because Jesus is the light of the world and light comes from God the Father of lights, light stands in sharp contrast to darkness and evil. To walk in the light means that we consider Jesus as the light, that He truly is our light and that if a true believe, we are to reflect His light by living holy lives in obedience to the Light of His Word. When we walk in this light, we’ll have fellowship one with another. Others, will see the light, and know we are of the light because we love one another. Are you walking in the light?

Walking with God Series: Walking in the Spirit

March 12, 2025

Transcript: This week we’ve learned to walk with God and to walk by faith not by sight. In, Gal. 5:25 the Bible tells us to also walk in the Spirit. I’m Sam Rohrer with another Stand in the Gap Minute. The Christian walk is active, not passive. It’s moving, growing, living. The Christian walk is personal -we are to walk with God. It’s purposeful. We are to walk by faith, not sight. The Christian walk is powerful. We are to walk in the Spirit. Though 95% of Americans self-identify as Christians, they do not walk personally with God but on their own, not by faith but by sight, not in the power of the Holy Spirit but in the power of their own spirit. How a person walks, with whom they walk, where they walk and upon what they focus when they walk makes all the difference if their walk, like Enoch, pleases God. How is your walk today?
