Pastor's Corner
Patrick Henry's Defense of the Baptist Ministers
Three Baptist ministers in Virginia were arrested simply for preaching the Gospel. When Patrick Henry heard what had happened, he rode nearly 50 miles to defend them in court. As the charges were read, Henry asked in disbelief, "Are these men being tried for preaching the Gospel of the Son of God?" He passionately defended their God-given right to preach and declared that America was founded upon civil and religious liberty. He challenged the court by asking, "What law have they violated?" His powerful defense reminded everyone that no one should be punished for faithfully proclaiming God's Word.
The courtroom fell silent, the prosecution had no answer, and the judge finally ordered, "Sheriff, discharge those men."
May we never take for granted the freedom to worship, preach the Gospel, and live boldly for Christ.
