Snip:
"In 1774, Pastor John Peter Muhlenberg was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses. He served as a delegate to the First Virginia Convention.
He heard Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech in 1775, and was inspired to enlist.
General George Washington gave him the rank of Colonel and personally asked him to raise a regiment of soldiers.
John Peter Muhlenberg and his men endured the freezing winter of Valley Forge and saw action at Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and Stonypoint."

John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg? Really? Those were his middle names? Was he at Congress’s genesis?

I had the pleasure of hearing Federer in person not terribly long ago. Very interesting and riveting how he pulls a long thread through history to connect to the present day, and also to God's Word. Am looking into his little boxed sets with a thumb drive of multiple lectures.
