The Revolutionary War was both a political rebellion and a spiritual stand. The patriots believed liberty was God-given, not government-granted. While historians debate whether the exact slogan “No Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus” was an official rallying cry, it reflected a very real worldview. Colonists sought liberty of conscience, worship, and speech, not a license for lawlessness. Fast-forward nearly 250 years, and the phrase “No Kings” is being resurrected, not by God-fearing patriots, but by mobs that would’ve condemned those patriots as “fascists.” October 18, saw protesters in weird costumes shouting chaos, waving banners that mocked the very foundations that birthed America. The contrast couldn’t be sharper.
The Revolutionary patriots bowed to no monarch because they believed their allegiance was first and foremost to Almighty God. Their struggle birthed a nation that recognized individual liberty as a reflection of divine design. Today’s “No Kings” movement, however, is steeped in something very different. These aren’t people contending for faith or freedom of conscience. They’re demanding a godless revolution—advocating for the destruction of Israel, dismantling of borders, normalization of sexual sin, and the silencing of biblical truth under the banner of “tolerance.” They call God’s moral standards “fascist,” proving how upside down their doctrine truly is. This isn’t about Trump. He’s just the latest stand-in for everything they despise about constitutional order, biblical morality, and American liberty.
Even more disturbing is how organized this is. Reports indicate many protesters were compensated, recruited, or otherwise mobilized by professional agitators and activist networks. Some showed up wearing cartoonish costumes, but make no mistake, the ideology driving these “No Kings” protests is no joke. It echoes the godless rhetoric of communism and socialism, systems built on abolishing faith and enthroning the state. If the Founders were alive today, these same mobs would be chanting against them. They would accuse men who bled for liberty of being oppressors. The spiritual battlelines are clear: one side denies God’s authority; the other once declared, “No Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus.”
Galatians 5:1 declares, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” The choice before America is the same as it was in 1776: God or government. Freedom anchored in faith or chaos dressed as revolution. As is written in the Declaration of Independence, that all men (mankind) “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Rights are not found in the loudness of self-righteously entitled hordes. These inalienable rights stand firmly in the truth that liberty flows from the Creator, not angry mobs. Christians must resist the counterfeit freedom being peddled in the streets. We’ve seen where godless revolutions end. Our rally remains the same: No Sovereign but God and no King but Jesus.
