The Black Robe Regiment: Religion and the Revolutionary War

In this sermon, Pastor Spencer challenges the congregation to embrace patriotism as a form of biblical stewardship, grounding American liberty and self-governance in the moral authority of the Bible rather than the state. Drawing on Psalm 33:12 and the legacy of colonial America’s "Black Robe Regiment," he highlights historical pastors who boldly preached against tyranny and led their congregations to defend God-given, inalienable rights. Warning that government authority under Romans 13 is conditioned on submission to divine principles, he urges modern preachers and believers to reject passive religiosity, take responsibility for the nation's moral state, and courageously defend their spiritual and civil freedoms.
