Our Independance Day -Our dependance on God.

When our forefathers declared our independance from England, they declared our dependence on God!

As we walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S Supreme Court we 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 of Moses holding the Ten Commandments!

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the Ten Commandments are engraved on the huge oak doors. 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!

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

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.

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 religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".

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

I wonder how long it will be before the Ten Commandments are removed from the Supreme Court building.
