Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist will be speaking with Focus on the Family Action Chairman Dr. James Dobson on a simulcast to religious people about the "filibusters against President Bush's judicial nominees." Many democrats such as Ted (the I can drive off a bridge and drown a girl so I have the moral authority to speak here) Kennedy are "going so far as to label his participation 'un-American.'"
There is a big secret that many Americans are unaware of. If it were not for preachers, there would have been no American Revolution. "No King but Jesus" was the cry of the Colonies.
According to Christianity Today:
"Over the span of the colonial era, American ministers delivered approximately 8 million sermons, each lasting one to one-and-a-half hours. The average 70-year-old colonial churchgoer would have listened to some 7,000 sermons in his or her lifetime, totaling nearly 10,000 hours of concentrated listening. This is the number of classroom hours it would take to receive ten separate undergraduate degrees in a modern university, without ever repeating the same course!"
Preaching was one of the main ways most people received news and ideas in rural areas. In those days, God's ministers led the way for freedom to ring. If only God's ministers would do that today.
