The Spirit of Liberty

On this Independence Day weekend, we celebrate the founding of the freest nation on earth—the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence did something startling. It rooted our rights and freedoms not in the pleasure of the government, but in our creation by God. This was not abstract Enlightenment philosophy. This came from the many Bible-believing pastors who surrounded the independence movement.
On this program, we look at how vital church leaders were to the events that culminated on the Fourth of July--and you'll discover how integral spiritual freedom is to political freedom.
