Pulpit Freedom Sunday is a legal effort designed to secure the First Amendment rights of pastors in the pulpit. This day serves as a reminder that our nation’s pastors have a right to speak about biblical truths from their pulpits without fear of government intervention. Deuteronomy 10:13 states, “Observe the Lord’s decrees for your own good.” Observing God’s commands and principles will always serve to benefit us and our nation; however, when His commands are rejected, it is to our harm. In this message, Pastor Jack Hibbs, a modern-day patriot, encourages us to shape our future for good by testing our voting decisions in light of what God has to say in the Bible. Let’s make our voices heard and see some real change for godly values. “The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees so that we might always prosper.” – Deuteronomy 6:24
