FREE DOWNLOAD // In the days leading up to Easter—and throughout Holy Week—American Pastors Network invites you to download a FREE devotional study: THE EMOTIONS OF EASTER. We'll focus on several encounters with Jesus during His last days on Earth. What would they have experienced? What were their emotions? The story of the betrayal, trial, death, burial and then resurrection of Jesus might be familiar, but let this 8-day-study help you see and experience Easter in a whole new way.

"This is our time. We’re here for this moment in history. We’re not here by accident—right now. America needs people with a biblical worldview to lead. And the best way to lead is by example.

Now, there’s got to be a lot behind that example. It’s got to be consistent. But what a great time to be praying for America—to be praying for people, with people—serving, worshiping God—overtly, consistently, transparently. What a great time to be loving other people.

That’s what a person with a biblical worldview does."

Opinions, commentary, and public opinion polls are flooding the news today. Both sides are seeking to spin the results to their own benefit. The debate demonstrated one reality of our current desperate situation.

Our nation is fractured, split politically, socially, economically, religiously and in nearly every way because we are not unified on the most basic of all things, the role of God and morality in our nation on any level. Because we cannot agree on the role of God, we are not unified on the simple but profound definition of Truth.

Without agreement on God and Truth, policy positions on any issue from foreign policy, to Israel, from social issues to economic issues, from family to community have no anchor, no predictability. Without agreement on these things, there can be no administration of justice, agreement on what is good or bad, right or wrong.

Our problem is spiritual and nothing said last night pointed to God alone as our answer. The world has no answer. We as God’s people do and we must anchor our faith and trust in Him and in Him alone. And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free.

Sincerely,

Sam Rohrer

HEARD ON TODAY'S STAND IN THE GAP // "Virtually every passage in the New Testament that speaks of the return of Christ has a connective thought in terms of how we should live in light of that.

There's great reward in heaven. We don’t just live for the here and now.

We live for eternity.

We’re aliens and strangers.

We’re passing through.

Our real home is in heaven and we need to keep that perspective...Otherwise, we’ll just get caught up in the world system."

As many of our American Pastors Network friends are now aware, Evangelist Dave and Betsy Kistler—our longtime ministry partners and co-laborers—lost their son, Nathan and their daughter-in-law Amber, in a tragic plane crash in Northeast Wyoming. Along with other family members, the couple was enroute to participate in a Gaither Homecoming Cruise in Alaska.

In a quiet moment this weekend please join our APN and Stand in the Gap family in praying for Dave, Besty, their surviving children, and so many others grieving this unspeakable loss today. We take comfort in knowing their souls are “safe in the arms of Jesus."

A MESSAGE FROM SAM ROHRER

You're probably familiar with the word "pragmatism" or "pragmatic." It's an idea in the mainstream of American culture. The other idea is one I encountered long before I entered politics—the word "consensus."

I'd submit 95% of us don't really know what those words mean or how our thinking might be shaped by them. In government and business, these ideas were pitched as the way to get things done—a way to prevent loud, lone dictator personalities from exercising their myopic will on the group.

Pragmatism and consensus sound a lot like "teamwork," don't they? And what could possibly be wrong with that?

But as a Christian—someone who believes truth is discoverable in God's Word, I found applying these concepts often came at the expense of truth. Opponents are often silenced, and too often, we're truly 'going along' to 'get along.'

Sound familiar?

Each year we're observing the erosion of any concept of truth in government. From candidates for public office, to those defining education standards, scientific policies, and even preaching content, truth has become a casualty.

This year, and every year, beware of pursing consensus at the expense of God's eternal, unchangeable truth. You might feel like you're winning in the moment, but the negative consequences could be eternal.

Stand for truth even when it hurts.
