- 0:02Speaker 1: When it comes to the founding of the United States
- 0:04Speaker 1: of America. It may be shocking to most Christians today,
- 0:07Speaker 1: but it was New England ministers who played a key
- 0:10Speaker 1: role in rallying support for war against the tyranny of
- 0:13Speaker 1: King George. Hello, I'm ron Edwards on today's page. From
- 0:18Speaker 1: the Effort's notebook. Ministers pressed their congregations to overthrow King
- 0:22Speaker 1: George because they believed that rebellion against tyrants was obedience
- 0:26Speaker 1: to God. From many pulpits, ministers recruited troops and strengthened
- 0:31Speaker 1: them for battle. Those church leaders knew that the Bible
- 0:34Speaker 1: places great emphasis on due submission to civil authorities, but
- 0:38Speaker 1: they also noted that many passages approve resistance to ungodly authority.
- 0:44Speaker 1: It is therefore no coincidence that one of the slogans
- 0:47Speaker 1: of the American Revolutions was no King but King Jesus.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Most of the patriots, including men of the cloth, found
- 0:54Speaker 1: in their faith and in God's word, the courage to
- 0:57Speaker 1: risk their lives and properties in order to the tyranny
- 1:01Speaker 1: of an unjust human authority. The ministers of the revolution
- 1:05Speaker 1: understood that freedom and liberty emanate from freedom in Christ
- 1:10Speaker 1: and the principles emanated in the Word of God. I
- 1:13Speaker 1: pray the ministers of today will stand for true liberty
- 1:16Speaker 1: in Christ and in America. I'm run Edwards to join
- 1:23Speaker 1: the Live Weight days three pm Eastern. To find out where,
