The words of preachers before the American Revolution gave a clear message from the Bible that inspired The Great Awakening, which prepared Americans spiritually for the Declaration of Independence, and the War, and the Constitution.
The words and actions of preachers at the time of the American Revolution inspired the Patriots to take action and take up arms.
After the preacher preached on Sunday morning, he took off his robe in front of the church, to reveal his uniform, and led the militia training on Sunday afternoon.
The preachers at the time of the American Revolution were more feared by King George than all the American military (according to George himself).
The preachers at the time of the American Revolution cared more about the cost of freedom than the cost of offending someone.
Their messages likely offended more than they inspired, but thank God they preached it.
Likewise today the cost of freedom versus the cost of offending someone is clearly laid out before preachers in the pulpit and Christians in the pew.
We must speak out now—we must act out now.
We don’t have time to wait and see how things will play out, like we did in the past, watching the pendulum swing back and forth.
