Transcript: Liberty as identified in our Declaration hinges on God and understanding Him. We are endowed by our Creator… you see, Independence and liberty starts with spiritual freedom which comes from God our Creator and experienced personally as spiritual freedom in Christ. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors network and another Stand in the Gap Minute. Recognizing God and God as Creator -the basis of the Judeo-Christian worldview- is where liberty starts. This God is Supreme, the same Judge of the Universe appealed to in the Declaration. This God is Truth, sovereign, pre-existent, greater than all people and governments. In true civil freedom, God must first be acknowledged as supreme and source of all moral truth. Our founders recognized and started with this fact. Doesn’t America in repentance need to do the same with God as Creator, Sovereign and Judge? Join with us at Stand in the Gap Radio and TV and stand in the Gap for freedom by recognizing God as Supreme and source of all moral truth. Stand with us at stand in the gap media dot org.
Liberty Series: Starts with Spiritual Freedom
July 1, 2024
Transcript: This week we celebrate Independence Day and the courage of our founders. But independence from what to what? The signers knew, but most Americans sadly don’t. It’s time to reexamine the foundation of liberty and the source of rights that made America great. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American pastor’s network and a timely Stand in the Gap Minute. Liberty can’t be understood without the Bible since civil freedom starts with understanding spiritual freedom. John 8:32 says, and ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. Without experiencing this spiritual freedom from the power of sin that only faith in Christ can bring, no nation can ever experience lasting civil freedom. The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia says it all from Lev. 25:10 , proclaim liberty – the liberty that comes from obeying God’s commands -throughout all the land and to all the inhabitants therefore. Join with us at Stand in the gap radio and tv and together proclaim liberty – starting with freedom in Christ. Stand with us as Stand in the gap media dot org.
God's Warnings Series: Repent Now
June 28, 2024
Transcript: God warns and then He delivers. In Isaiah Chapter 5, the Prophet Isaiah proclaimed judgment on the Jerusalem of his day. His message was one of final judgment. No more warnings. No more time. Could his words be the final words of judgment on America? Hello I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and another Stand in the Gap Minute. In verse 24, God said, I’ll destroy your nation because you’ve rejected my commands, and despised My holy name. Therefore, My fearsome anger will come against you. I’ve warned and pleaded with you, but you’ve ignored my voice. In that day, Israel deserved God’s judgment – their sin was great. Their time was up. Shouldn’t we in America look in the mirror and consider our sins in light of Israel then? Idolatry; murder of the unborn; materialism; apathy; moral relativism; addictions of all types; bribery, corruption and arrogant indifference.

God's Warnings Series: God Gave Them Over
June 26, 2024
Transcript: Romans Chapter 1 shouts forth God’s sobering warning to America. He says that all people – everywhere -are without excuse since God’s Power, Justice, Authority, and just claim on mankind is proven through all Creation. And, when a person or nation becomes arrogant and rejects God, His Truth and morality, the culture races to the bottom. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and another Stand in the Gap Minute of warning. God made it clear. When a nation refuses Him, three things will happen: I will give them up to general immorality. I will give them up to vile affections and homosexuality. I will reject them and give them over to a reprobate mind that pursues evil, rejects good, and continues to sin even though they know God will judge their actions. Sound like America today? Such a nation will collapse and never rise again. Will you join with us at Stand in the Gap Radio and TV and help us warn others of God’s judgment? Stand with us at American Pastors Network dot net.
God's Warnings Series: Rumors of Wars
June 25, 2024
Transcript: I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and today’s Stand in the Gap Minute of warning. Jesus warned his disciples in Matt. 24 to be on guard because mass deception would mark the end days before His return. He warned of ‘wars and rumors of wars, ‘nations rising against nations’, that lawlessness and immorality would dominate the culture with little fear of God. Those days would be perilous --just like today. So how should we respond? Look around, look up and then speak out. This isn’t the time for silence but boldness for the Truth. While past leaders thought their days were troubling times, there’s little dispute that Christ’s warnings describe our days in detail. As nations threaten, rumors of war abound and the eyes of the world drawn to Israel, be emboldened to live the Truth like never before. We’re here for such a time.

God's Warnings Series: Great Deception
June 24, 2024
Transcript: The Bible’s full of warnings. Hello, I’m Sam Rohrer with the American Pastors Network and today’s Stand in the Gap Minute of warning. In Matt. 24, Jesus warned His disciples to be on guard for mass deception. “Take heed that no man deceive you”. From official government statements, to media reports, to politicians who say whatever people want to hear, to pastors who only preach the ‘less offensive’ sections of Scripture-truth’s being compromised, suppressed and distorted. Mass deception’s the result. It’s past time that pastors and all Christians wake up and heed Christ’s warning. Just because the media reports or the President himself speaks, doesn’t mean it’s true. Deception and lies prevail when a nation denies God’s power, the culture repudiates Biblical authority, and people become offended by the name of Jesus. Of this be certain. Christ’s warning to his disciples is our warning today. Are you aware-- or deceived? Will you join with us at Stand in the Gap Radio and TV and be alert to deception?
