Requested by Phoebe, sung by the students of Fountainview Academy, Faith of Our Fathers: a hymn that reminds us that sometimes the price of faithfulness is martyrdom.
Our country’s founders did their level best to create a polity in which there would be no martyrs, with a government that would protect religious liberty.
Any fool equipped with brute force can conquer someone, and stay in power until a stronger fool comes along; but “we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Persecution never stopped the growth of the Church; and be sure that righteous God will avenge it.
