Imagine if the President of the United States outlawed your version of the Bible because he considered it to be a threat to his rule. Imagine that he authorized a new Government "approved" version for you to read instead. That's exactly what happened in the tumultuous year of 1611.

King James despised the revolutionary and "seditious" Geneva Bible. He thought the Geneva Bible's study notes on key political texts threatened his authority, so he outlawed it and ordered a new translation of the Bible - the King James (Authorized Version).

While the King James Version is an excellent translation, it was edited and authorized by the Government. The Geneva Bible was not.

It was truly a Bible by the people and for the people.

The Pilgrims brought the 1599 Geneva Bible with them when they arrived in the New World in 1620. All but forgotten in our day, this version of the Bible was the most widely read and influential English Bible of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. William Bradford cited the Geneva Bible in his famous book Of Plymouth Plantation.

The Geneva Bible was and still is hated by tyrants because it's powerful message can break the chains of tyranny.

As early as 1645, groups of colonial citizens were organized as a militia to be prepared to protect their homeland against any threat. Inside of these citizen ranks, special units of citizens were selected specifically for their enthusiasm, patriotism, and political reliability. Men so selected were designated "Minutemen." Undergoing specialized training, these Minutemen were trained to be ready at a moment's notice to defend the life and liberty of their community. These are men who were very likely taught from the hearth and the pulpit the tenants of liberty found in the Geneva Bible.

Paul Revere's Ride. Concord. Camden. Cowpens. These are only a few of the historical accounts that highlight the Minuteman as hero. During the War for Independence, the Minutemen fought bravely to help secure America's freedom and independence from Britain.

The Minuteman is so unique because these citizens were not part of a standing army. They were not soldiers and military-minded strategists. They were everyday farmers, printers, and merchants. They were average citizens willing to sacrifice life and limb against those who would threaten liberty.

Today, liberal politicians are waging a war on liberty and faith in America. Executive orders rain down from the White House seeking to stamp out religious freedom. Today's battle is either lost or won in the courtrooms and in mainstream media, which often drives public opinion against Conservative values.

Where are the Minutemen today?

Are we advocating violence? No. Rather, the battle is fought and won with the Word of God. "For the Word of God is... sharper than any two-edged sword." (Hebrews 4:12; 1599 Geneva Bible)

Written by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1865, Onward Christian Soldiers was sung at the funeral of Pre­si­dent Dwight Ei­sen­how­er at the Na­tion­al Ca­thed­ral, Wash­ing­ton, DC, March, 1969.
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!
Make history, become a Minuteman and defend Faith and Liberty while we still have a chance.
