Restore the Law: Responding to Lawlessness God's Way Part 3-The Magdeburg Confession
November 5, 2020
APN presents "Restore the Law: Responding to Lawlessness God's Way- The Magdeburg Confession".
Pastor Matt Trewhella joins us again to present the history of the Magdeburg Confession, which is a summary work of pastors of the day who worked through the biblical and historical arguments for lesser magistrates resisting illegitimate law.
Here's what one writer had to say about this document:
"If there is one positive to be taken from the tyrannical and anti-Christian government policies that characterize the times we live in, it is perhaps the fact that it forces Christians to delve deeper into historical sources for enlightenment on properly reacting to evil government. When pastor Matthew Trewhella of Mercy Seat Christian Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was researching the historic Christian doctrine of the lesser magistrate, he read references to the 1550 Magdeburg Confession in his sources and literature, but was unable to locate an English translation of it. The reason for this was, as he would find out, and perhaps shockingly, that this important doctrinal confession had never been translated into English.1 He combined forces with classicist scholar Dr. Matthew Colvin and Presbyterian minister Rev. George Grant to produce and introduce a groundbreaking English translation of the Magdeburg Confession from the original Latin in 2012..."

Top Reasons Why Church Security Should be a Priority: APN Pastors Conference Call
April 12, 2018
On April, 12, 2018, the American Pastors Network conducted a special conference call for Pastors on the topic of church security.
Our culture is in desperate need of Christ and what better place to learn of Him than in the Church? But it comes with many questions and concerns for those who have been affected by or heard about violence and shootings in churches. Even pastors are asking:
Why do churches need security?
Must I turn my church into an armed fortress?
How can we reach out to people and dispel their fear when they sit in my church?
What should a church security plan look like?
Who should a church security plan involve?
How do I organize a church security plan?
These and other church security questions were addressed in this informative conference call with men who understand and practice church security. From church security consultants who have assisted churches in setting up a security plan and pastors whose churches have a security plan in place, to laymen who lead a church security team, this call covered the entire range of church security.
Opportunities were given for participants to ask their own questions.
Hosts:
Hon. Sam Rohrer, President, APN
Dr. Keith Wiebe, Vice President of State Chapter Development
Presenters:
JR McGee – church security consultant
Adam Hock – church security consultant
Pastor Keith Wiebe, Jr – Pastor
Dan Turner – local church security team leader
