“Play it safe,” we’re often told. “Take small steps,” people say. This week, Michael Quinn Sullivan reflects on the importance of Texas’ patriots in 1836 being willing to risk everything rather than live as serfs. Liberty has never been achieved through timidity, he says, but is born from boldness.
For liberty to thrive, citizens must know how to effectively sharpen each other to the benefit of our republic.
As a self-governing people, we must know our limits.
When people decide they are willing to lose everything rather than live as serfs, that is when tyrants quiver and fall.
We’re not called to lives of comfort and safety; we’re called to be faithful.
