Of course Patrick Henry said those famous words, “Give me liberty or give me death.” This is what we’ve been taught in school and this is the part we remember. But what Patrick Henry really said was this, “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” Oh no, he said God’s name. We can’t have that happen in America, can we?
My favorite quote by Patrick Henry is this one: “It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionist, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!” Atheist and God haters would absolutely go berserk if a modern day politician spoke like this. But do you hear Patrick Henry’s words? He said that America was founded by Christians on the gospel of Jesus Christ! He also said that it can’t be said too strongly or too often! Oh how I wish we had godly men, men of character like this running for political office today.
By the way, separation of church and state was never intended for us to take God out of our country (which is happening more and more all the time). No, separation of church and state merely meant that the government could not set up a government or state sponsored church, nor could the government force you to go to such a church. It does not mean atheist and God haters have the right to never hear the name of God. That’s not what it means.
It’s time for America to turn back to God. We need to repent as a nation. Then maybe God in His great mercy will bless America once again. It’s time to quit killing millions of innocent babies in the womb. It’s time to not only put God back in our schools, our jobs and politics, but it’s time we put God first again! How can we expect God to bless America when we aren’t blessing Him? In fact, we keep pushing Him farther and farther away. That may explain why He has turned us over to ourselves (Romans 1:24-32). Repent America and turn back to God before it’s too late.
