They Preached Liberty
Ever wonder what kind of preachers were around during the War for Colonial Independence? These kinds of preachers...
(click the graphic above for the 1990s version of “They Preached Liberty” by the group “Legacy” C.L.)
There's a spirit in our land raising up the kind of man
With a burning in his heart to be free.
Like the preacher men of old he can't be bought he can't be sold
What did they preach?
They preached Liberty!!!!
To a people who loved their liberty
Liberty to exercise all their God given rights granted them at the time of their birth
The right to keep bear arms and pray worship God on land and say
from that law we will keep our people free, through the jury we'll guard our liberty!
They called the King into accounting for his disregard of law
Told their people not to yield before his threats
For God established rulers to protect the rights of man and ordained
government to fit into his plan to maintain his peoples Liberty!!!
Liberty to exercise all their God given rights granted them at the time of their birth
The right to keep bear arms and pray worship God on land and say
from that law we will keep our people free, through the Jury we'll guard our Liberty!!
We need such preacher men today to show our people the way to redeem their lost Liberty!!
The fires of hell cannot prevail against one man who will take the stand
from the pulpit expose tyranny and teach his people Liberty!!
Liberty to exercise all their God given rights granted them at the time of their birth
The right to keep bear arms and pray worship God on land and say
from that law we will keep our people free, through the Jury we'll guard our liberty
Liberty to exercise all their God given rights granted them at the time of their birth
The right to keep bear arms and pray worship God on land and say
this Jury says not guilty we choose to acquit, the state was wrong to charge him this law is not fit
for a people for a people who love their Liberty
for a people who will die for Liberty!!!
You might consider a follow-up about the root cause of why many pastors today are different, because I've never encountered anyone who knew. For the first couple hundred years of 'America,' 0% of pastors weren't "sold," as you say. Now it's 99.9%. You can prove this by going to any state's division of corporation website and search any church name. You'll see the 'dirty little secret' that they are all "sold out." Contrast that to Upriver Church in Idaho. It's one of only about 5 I've found that is not, after looking up hundreds (even the quaintest, smallest old rural churches. You can search how this started recently under LBJ and grew. I hear so many people pound their fist about pastors and not get it until I share this white pill. Then they see there is a literal and general "conflict of interest." Thankfully this is still not the case in many nations. Thoughts???
And this is the reason I say this: Those coming to this land from elsewhere -- especially those from cultures and histories completely absent of any connection to the Western Christian tradition -- should be made to read, understand, and vow to live by the ideas and ideals of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 -- and 𝒏𝒐𝒕 the Constitution. Uphold and defend the ideals of liberty in the Declaration. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 what it means to be American. Leave the oath-swearing to a document describing government to those joining that government.
