The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on.  It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.

DID YOU KNOW…?

  1) As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view --- it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!

 

  2) As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.

 

  3) As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court Judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!

 

  4) There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.

 

  5) James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of

Our  Constitution" made the following statement:

"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

 

  6) Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:

“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".

 7) Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayers since 1777.

 

  8) Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established Orthodox Churches in the colonies.

 

  9) Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law an oligarchy (the rule of few over many).

 

10) The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said: "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."

 

How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220+ years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

 

We should let the world know and remember what this great country was built on.   It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!``

 

   Plainly, don’t get short changed.  Let’s be ready to meet our Maker.  The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31)  2) Repent Of Sins  (17:30)  

3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37)  4) Be Baptized In  Water (2:38)  

5) Live A  Christian Life (14:22)   6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
