A Brief History of Light for Living. Light for Living began as a writing ministry of Pastor Gary Click while pastoring the Calvary Baptist Church in Clinton, IN. His articles were published in the local newspaper, The Daily Clintonian. They were also distributed to email subscribers and several were posted on this website. Shortly after assuming the pastorate of the Fremont Baptist Temple, Fremont, OH, he was approached by Pastor James Lewis and chief operator, Brian Benedict about providing a two thirty-minute Radio Programs for the weekend. (WHVT 90.5 fm) At this point, Pastor Click's writing ministry transformed into a radio ministry. Due to time constrains, the weekly devotional gave way to the radio ministry. However, these devotionals are still available online through the Light for Living Archives. Pastor Click is still active in writing bible studies, dramas and devotional articles for other applications. We hope to make those resources available soon.

Give Me Liberty March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry delivered a speech named for
its last few words, “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death.” Henry believed that
the American cause was just and that God was behind it. “Besides, Sir,” he
wrote, “we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides
over the destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to fight our battles
for us.” Henry detested a life of submission to the British. He
believed in freedom. He believed in freedom even when it cost something. He knew
that freedom wasn’t free. It had to be purchased at a great price. Listen to
the closing sentences of his speech. “Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Patrick Henry’s speech has struck a chord in the hearts
of Americans from that day until now. Its power comes from the dramatic contrast
between liberty and death. There are times when we may have life but not
liberty. This was no life for him. Liberty was worth the price that had to be
paid. Henry, however, was not the first to develop this idea. In fact, it
originated in the book he loved and revered: the Bible. “Stand fast
therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not
entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” (Galatians 5:1) We often emphasize the fact that salvation is free. Yet, we
must never forget that it is only free to us. It cost Him a great deal. Our
freedom was purchased by the blood of Christ. 1 Corinthians 6:20 and 7:23 each
remind us, “Ye are bought with a price.” In Acts 20:28, Paul does not let the Ephesian pastors forget
that God purchased the church “with his own blood.” Patrick Henry’s bold proclamation, “Give me liberty or
give me death,” originates in the truth of Christ’s plan to “Give us
liberty through death.” It is only through the death of Jesus Christ as
He shed His blood on the cross, that you and I have the hope of genuine liberty. Click here to visit our Citizenship Page to read related articles and find interesting links. You are the
