I came across a webpage from Revival Fire about our founding fathers and some of the history of our country that reenforces we were meant to be "One Nation, Under God" USA Foundations
The passage that caught my eye was the full quote of Patrick Henry's "give me liberty or give me death"
Patrick Henry, who is called the firebrand of the American Revolution, is still remembered for his words, "Give me liberty or give me death." But in current textbooks the context of these words is deleted. Here is what he said: "An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. 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."
Will we stand in the gap for this country and remind God of His past work here and ask Him to send revival to our nation and return us to holiness before Him? May we all be so inclined.
