The Forgotten Heroes of Liberty written by Joel T. Headley give us a picture of a different type of “clergy” than we see today. These were the men of “The Black Regiment” ( The Patriot Pastors) who were so hated by King George III … he actually said he feared them more than any troops. Why were these preachers, pastors, clergymen called Heroes of Liberty? A clue is found in 2 Corinthians 3:16 …”Where The Spirit of The Lord is there is liberty”. These preachers proclaimed Biblical truth, The Sovereignty and The Lordship of King Jesus. It cost many of them their “lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor” ( as we read in The Declaration of Independence for example). After The War for American Independence was over, France was amazed at the success, growth and strength of America. The French had experienced a lengthy and bloody “Revolution” but their outcome was very different than that of America and they wanted to know why. The French government commissioned and dispatched Alexis DeToqueville to find the answer. After extensive travels throughout the new country of America, he reported this,”… I have traveled throughout their country and visited her churches and their pulpits are a blaze with righteousness… America is strong because America is good… if America ceases being good America will cease being strong”. His observations are accurate and prophetical. Where are we now United States of America? Lets get back to biblical America!!!!!
