COVENANT MINDED MINISTRIES

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. (Psalm 33:12)

So he (Pharoah) said, “Tomorrow.” And he (Moses)said, “Let it be according to your word, that you (Pharoah) may know that there is no one like the LORD our God. (Exodus 8:10)

“You shall have no other gods before Me. (Exodus 20:3)

 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; (Exodus 20:4)

you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, (Exodus 20:5)

but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. (Exodus 20:6)

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! (Deuteronomy 6:4)

The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,The world and those who dwell therein. (Psalm 24:1)

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them. (Psalm 89:11)

And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments. (Genesis 35:2)

And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”  (Joshua 24:15)

The One True and Living God

It is very, very important that as many that are willing come to the ultimate realization that the God of Israel, and of Abraham, Issac, and Jocob is the only One True and Living God that has power and authority over everything (person, place, and thing).

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, (Titus 2:13)

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.  (Titus 2:14)

Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you. (Titus 2:15)

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (1st Peter 2:9)

Those who do not come to this ultimate realization and acknowledge Him as such will face His wrath as a consequence of opposing and defying His Sovereigity (supreme and independent power and authority; dominion), as the Pharoah of Egypt and others have in the past.

“God is not a man, that He should lie,Nor a son of man, that He should repent.  Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? (Numbers 23:9)

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. (Deuteronomy 28:1)

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God: (Deuteronomy 28:2)

“But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: (Deuteronomy 28:15)

“Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. (Deuteronomy 28:45)

And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever. (Deuteronomy 28:46)

“Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, (Deuteronomy 28:47)

therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. (Deuteronomy 28:48)

The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, (Deuteronomy 28:49)

a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. (Deuteronomy 28:50)

Understanding to Discern Justice

Discern is the act of exhibiting keen insight and judgment; Understanding is the quality or condition of one who understands; comprehends; intelligence; Justice is

The Lord God appeared to Solomon in a dream and told him to make a request of Him of whatever he desired.  Solomon chose above all else understanding and discernment. 

God was pleased with his choice and granted his request and also gave him riches and honor.  A demonstration of this gift came upon his return to Jerusalem, where his decision in the case of two harlots caused the people to see that God's wisdom was in the king.

He was an efficient and effective administrator: each department had its appointed officers and the country was divided into 12 districts, different from the tribal divisions, each responsible for the provisions of the royal household for a month of the year.

Solomon was a wise and learned man: it is stated that his wisdom was greater than that of the wise men of the East and of Egypt.

He was a expert in botany and zoology; he was a writer, credited with 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs; he is named the author of the Songs of Solomon, his greatest song (Songs of Solomon 1:1), Ecclesiastes (Eccl. 1:1,12); and two Psalms (Pss. 72 and 127).

His fame was widespread and people came from afar to hear him. 

He made an alliance with Hiram king of Tyre, who had been a friend of his father David, which proved to be a great advantage to him in his undertaking of a tremendous building program, in particularly, that of the temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah.

Solomon contracted with Hiram for the supply of cedar and cypress wood and arranged for the Phoenician builders to supplement the Israelite corvee (an obligation imposed on inhabitants of a district to perform services, as repair of roads, bridges, etc., for little or no remuneration).

Women were a serious weakness of Solomon: not only did he make many political alliances through marriage, but he loved many foreign women and he clung to these in love.

God had warned that such marriages would lead to apostasy; the harem of Solomon held a collection of some 700 wives and 300 concubines; and his wives turned away his heart to other gods; and his heart was not wholly true after the LORD his God.

He built places of worship for the false gods to satisfy his heathen wives.  The Lord was angered at Solomon's failure to keep His explicit commands and announced to him the rift in the kingdom which was to take place in the reign of his son.

The Rift of the Kingdom

The kingdom that had been quite peaceful and properous had advanced to the stage of reaping the idoltry it had sown under the leadership of Solomon as God had announced, which his son would now face.

Hadad the Edomite, who as a child had survived a raid by David and had escaped to Egypt, now returned to plague him.

In Syria Rezon was made king at Demascus and became an enemy of Israel.

In Israel, a capable young man, Jeroboam the son of Nebat, was informed by the prophet Ahijah that he would become ruler of the 10 tribes of Israel.

Solomon attempted to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam took refuge in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

The signs of the impending division of the kingdom was evident; when Solomon died in 930 B.C. and his son Rehoboam became king, the break for the worst soon became a reality.

Solomon, a great temporal ruler, possessing every natural advantage, almost inconceivably wealthy in material splendor, learning, and experience, was nevertheless a disappointment.

Though he began so well, the tragedy of his gradual apostasy had more dangerous results than the infamous scandal of hisa father David, who sincerely repented and was a man after the Lord's own heart.

The President of the United States of America

For our nation or country to have the favor of God and to receive His provison and protection, it is vitally important that our President fear the Lord and keep His commandments, which is the whole duty of man.

This nation has to have a President who honors the Son of God, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor God who sent Him; there is no getting around this criteria.

The President must seek an understanding heart from God as Solomon has done, so that he may discern between good and evil and do God's will in ruling this nation.

Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” (1st Kings 3:9)

The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. (1st Kings 3:10)

behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. (1st Kings 3:11)

And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. (1st Kings 3:12)

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33)

Our President must not only have the willingness and patience to listen to all sides of an issue, but also the desire for the ability to reason.

Our President's relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit provides an abundant measure, granting him not only an understanding heart, but one that is wise for handling the crucial affairs of this nation in a fair and skillful manner.

The abilities to handle the affairs of this nation require truly exceptional knowledge and skills that are available only from God.  Anyone who feels capable of accomplishing this task on their own without God's intervention is a fool.

As long as Solomon served God and Him only, he was an efficient and effective leader.  It was only when he allowed himself to be drawn away by women who served other gods that he became an apostate and divided his heart from God to appease his wives, which cause his destruction.

He created alliances with nations which he should not have created, which he would have never done if his whole heart was with the Lord God of Isreal.

Our President should not create any unwise alliances with other nations nor people whom his understanding heart guides him against. 

This is a job of caring for and watching after God's people who are part of the whole population of our nation. 

The mere fact that harlots could appear before Solomon suggested that he made himself available to persons of all stations of life who had a legitimate claim for justice.

The harlot who agreed to divide the living child in two, and give half to one and half to the other demonstrated her lack of motherly love; whereas, the harlot who said to give the child to the other harlot, truly demonstrated her motherly love and Solomon discerned it and gave her child to her.

Her love as a mother as she yearned with compassion made her give up her own child rather than see it die.

As a nation, we should want and expect our President to operate in honesty and integrity in seeking justice for all and not endangering the lives of our people without valid cause for the people and of the people and by the people of these United States of America.

Current Crisises Facing Our Nation

On September 11, 2001, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York were destroyed and the Pentagon in Washington, DC, partially damaged by suicide attackers aboard civilian aircraft.

More than 3,000 people are estimated to have died as a result of the attacks.

American investigations immediately following the attacks led to Saudi dissident, Osama bin Laden, being identified as the mastermind behind this operation.

On October 7, 2001 the United States began air strikes against Afghanistan aimed at ousting the Taliban (who had long sheltered Mr. bin Laden) , thereby creating the conditions for his capture, and the eventual dissolution of the Al-Qaida network.

The Taliban have since been overthrown and an interim government under Hamid Karzai has been established in Kabul, and Mr. bin Laden remains elusive.

The American military operation is continuing in Afghanistan and the search for Taliban and Al-Qaida members has been extended into Pakistan, where a number of them have apparently sought refuge.

This Special Report provides some background to the important issues, regions and players involved in this crisis.

The Iraq War, also known as the Second Gulf War or the Occupation of Iraq, is an ongoing military campaign which began on March 20, 2003 with the invasion of Irag by a multinational force led by and composed almost entirely of United States (u>S.)and United Kingdom (U.K.) troops.

Prior to the war, the U.S. and U.K. claimed that Iraq's alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) posed a serious and imminent threat to the security of the United States and its coalition allies.

United Nations (UNs) weapons inspectors found no evidence of WMD, giving support to earlier criticism of poor intelligence on Iraqi WMDs.

Some U.S. officials also accused Saddam Hussein of harboring and supporting Al-Qaeda, but no evidence of any collaborative relationship was ever found.

Bush reportedly told Palestinian officials either that God inspired him to end the tyranny in Iraq, or to hit Saddam.

Other reasons for the invasion stated by U.S. officials included Iraq's financial support for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, Iraqi government human rights abuses, spreading democracy and Iraq's oil reserves, although that was denied by other officials.

Just 43 days after announcing the start of the war in Iraq, President Bush on Thursday told the nation that "major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

He said the toppling of Saddam Hussein's government was "one victory in a war on terror that began on Sept. 11th, 2001, and still goes on."

In the war in Iraq as of January 2, 2009, according to a CNN count, there has been 4,537 coalition deaths -- 4,221 Americans, 2  Australians, 1 Azerbaijani, 178 Britons, 13 Bulgarians, 1 Czech, 7 Danes, 2 Dutch, 2 Estonians, 1 Fijian, 5 Georgians, 1 Hungarian, 33 Italians, 1 Kazakh, 1 Korean, 3 Latvians, 22 Poles, 3 Romanians, 5 Salvadoran, 4 Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, 2 Thai and 18 Ukrainians.

The Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, DC on November 20, 2002 stated that the Persian Gulf War in 1991 cost about $80 billion in constant 2002 dollars (or about $61 billion in then-year dollars).

This cost includes both Desert Shield, the five-and-a-half month buildup, and Desert Storm, a 38-day air campaign followed by a 100-hour combined-arms operation.

The United States was able to offset most of the cost of the war with cash and in-kind contributions from allies around the world. The net cost to the United States was quite modest: about $4 billion in 2002 dollars.

The potential cost to the US of a war on Iraq today is highly uncertain. It depends on numerous factors like the type of campaign conducted, how many personnel will be involved, how many of what kinds of equipment will be used,

the type and quantity of munitions expended, how long the conflict lasts, how long the country is occupied after the war, and the level of contributions from other countries, among others.

The war in Irag now costs an estimated 720 million dollars ($720,000,000) a day, which equates to 2 billion and 160 million dollars ($2,160,000,000) a month; equating to 25 billion and 920 million dollars ($25,920,000,000) a year.

This war is currently costing the United States an estimated 3 million dollars ($3,000,000) an hour, which equates to 50 thousand dollars ($50,000) a minute.

The cost of Iraq War counter by the National Priorities Project as of January 2, 2009 at 5:00 PM EST reflects a current estimated cost of  584 billion and 904 million dollars ($584,904,000,000), and counting.

The U.S. housing buble is an economic buble in many parts of the U.S. housing market, including, but not limited to areas in California, Flordia, Colorado, Michigan, the Northeast Corridor, and the Southeast markets.

On a national level, housing prices peaked in early 2005, and began declining in 2006 and may not yet have hit bottom.

On December 30, 2008 the Case-Shiller home price index reported its largest price drop in its history.

Increased foreclosure rates in 2006–2007 by U.S. homeowners led to a crisis in August 2008 for the subprime, Alt-A, Collateralized debt obligation (CDO), mortgage, credit, hedge fund, and foreign bank markets.

In October 2007 the U.S. Treasury Secretary called the bursting housing bubble "the most significant risk to our economy."

Former U.S. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan said "we had a buble in housing" and also said in the wake of the subprime mortgage and credit crisis in 2007, "I really didn't get it until very late in 2005 and 2006."

The mortgage and credit crisis was caused by a large number of home owners unable to pay the mortgage as their low introductory rate (sub-prime) mortgages reverted to regular interest rates.

Freddie Mac CEO Richard Syron concluded, "We had a bubble", and concurred with Yale economist Robert Shiller's warning that home prices appear overvalued and that the correction could last years with trillions of dollars of home value being lost.

The chief economist of Freddie Mac and the director of Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) deny the existence of a national housing bubble and express doubt that

any significant decline in home prices are possible, citing consistently rising prices since the Great Depression, expected increasing demand by the Baby Boom generation, and healthy employment.

However, some have suggested that the funding that the JCHS receives from the real estate industry may have affected their judgment.

The God of Israel

If the God of Israel doesn't bless America, then, who will?

The God of Israel is the source, means, and end of all things. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last.

He is the Creator, Sustainer, and the goal of everything. Therefore, He is the One and only One to be praised and glorified forevermore.

God Bless America

"God Bless America" is an American patriotic song originally written by Irving Berlin in 1918 and revised by him in 1938.

"God Bless America" is sometimes considered an unofficial National Anthem of the United States of America.

"God Bless America" takes the form of a prayer  (intro lyrics "as we raise our voices, in a solemn prayer") for God's blessing and peace for the nation ("...stand beside her and guide her through the night...").

God Bless America Lyrics

Spoken Introduction:
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer. 

God bless America, land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains To the prairies,
To the ocean white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

Israel as a nation is blessed now and forevermore, because their God is the only true God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all His people can ever ask or think according to His Holy Spirit working within His believers.

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. 

In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars. (2nd Chronicles 16:9)

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33)

A National Anthem

A national anthem is a generally patriotic musical composition that evokes and eulogizes the history, traditions and struggles of its people, recognized either by a nation's government as the official national song, or by convention through use by the people.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States of America.

The lyrics come from a poem written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, a then 35-year-old amateur poet who wrote,

"Defence of Fort McHenry" after seeing the bombardment of Fort McHenry at Baltimore, Maryland, by Royal Navy ships in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889 and the President in 1916,

and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C. §301), which was signed by President Herbert Hoover.

The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics By Francis Scott Key 1814

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD’s name is to be praised. (Psalm 113:3)

I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. (Psalm 34:1)

The God of Israel Is Not

The God of Israel is not "Allah (the God of Islam (Muslims)), who has no Son, Jesus Christ;

neither is not Jehovah Witnesses' God (whose Son Jesus is the incarnated Archangel Michael, the brother of Lucifer (the devil);

this Jesus is a god and not God the Son; and the Holy Spirit is holy spirit (a force and not a Person of Spirit or the Spirit of God.

neither is not Mormonism's God (who was once a man as we now are, and exalted himself to Godhood, and whose Jesus was also married to Lazarus' sisters (Mary and Martha) and had children with them;

Mormonism's Jesus' blood does not cleanse from sin; and polygamy is the rule of heaven.

neither is not Catholicism's God (whose Son's blood only cleanses Catholics from their mortal sins, and venial sins must be purged away by each Catholic in Purgatory;

whose Jesus had no other brothers nor sister by his mother Mary, and whose mother (called the Mother of God) is co-redeemer with him. 

Non-Catholics (Protestants) are lost and have a truncated knowledge of Scripture according to Catholicism.

neither is not Adventism's God ( who Son Jesus is Michael the Archangel, a belief shared with Jehovah's Witnesses; and

has a doctrine of annihilation of the wicked instead of an eternal hell, and a doctrine of soul sleep for believers instead of an eternal heaven.

Adventism also teaches that Seventh Day Sabbath is the Seal of God and that Sunday Sabbath keeping is the mark of the beast;

observance of Saturday Sabbath is a must to be saved.

According to Adventism, soul sleep is experienced when a person dies; there is no eternal spirit; rather, the spirit that returns to God is their literal breath.

The body goes to the ground; the breath goes to God. Both the body and the spirit are nonexistent until the Second Coming of Christ.

Hell is not eternal. There will be a cleansing fire to burn up the old earth and the sinners before the new earth appears.

All the wicked will be annihilated in the fire. The most wicked will burn longer than the least wicked. 

Satan will burn the longest.

The resurrection, therefore, is a sort of a recreation of each person out of the memory of God.

neither is not "Budda" (the Awaken One), the founder of Buddaism whose real name is Siddhartha Gautama, who is now dead and has not arisen;

neither is not Hinduism's Gods (Shiva, Vishnu or Shakti, and often others besides, yet all these are regarded as manifestations of a single Reality);

Most Hindus venerate one or more deities, but regard these as manifestations of Ultimate Reality.

The ultimate goal of all Hindus is release (moksha) from the cycle of rebirth (samsara).

For those of a devotional bent, this means being in God's presence, while those of a philosophical persuasion look forward to uniting with God as a drop of rain merges with the sea.

All of the immediate above mentioned Christian and non-Christian cults are doctrines of demons created through men and women giving heed to the deceiving spirits of Satan.

Their founders were deceived, as well as successors who continue to preach and teach other doctrines than the true doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

These cult leaders, as well as their  predecessors have lied and deceived, and continue to do the same, as they boast and lie against the truth. 

Doctrines of error(s) have lies; God cannot lie!  Therefore such doctrines did not nor never could have come from God, including, but not limited to all the Christian and non-Christian cults not listed immediately above, but listed on this website.

In God We Trust

The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War.

Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout persons throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize the Deity on United States coins.

From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861.

It was written to Secretary Chase by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania, and read:

Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances.

One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.

You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction?

Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation?

What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION;

within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW.

This would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism.

This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my hearth I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters.

To you first I address a subject that must be agitated.

As a result, Secretary Chase instructed James Pollock, Director of the Mint at Philadelphia, to prepare a motto, in a letter dated November 20, 1861:

Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.

You will cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition.

It was found that the Act of Congress dated January 18, 1837, prescribed the mottoes and devices that should be placed upon the coins of the United States.

This meant that the mint could make no changes without the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress.

In December 1863, the Director of the Mint submitted designs for new one-cent coin, two-cent coin, and three-cent coin to Secretary Chase for approval.

He proposed that upon the designs either OUR COUNTRY; OUR GOD or GOD, OUR TRUST should appear as a motto on the coins. In a letter to the Mint Director on December 9, 1863, Secretary Chase stated:

I approve your mottoes, only suggesting that on that with the Washington obverse the motto should begin with the word OUR, so as to read OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY.

And on that with the shield, it should be changed so as to read: IN GOD WE TRUST.

A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956,

the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States.

The Established Clause of the First Amendment  states that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.

Critics contend that the motto's placement on money constitute a federally funded endorsement of the religious belief in God.

The Supreme Court has upheld the motto because it has "lost through rote repetition any significant religious content."; so-called acts of "ceremonial deism" that have lost their "history, character, and context."

Activists Opposed to the Motto

'Constitutionalism' refers to the position or practice that government be limited by a constitution.

Constitutionists object to sworn judiciaries regarding the United States Constitution as secondary to personal opinion and subjective historical analysis.

Some activists have been known to cross out the motto on paper money as a form of protest.

Outside of constitutional objections, President Theodore took issue with placing the motto on coinage as he considered it sacrilegious to put the name of God on money.

Do Not Leave God's Commandments

Our nation cannot leave the commandment of God and not expect to suffer the consequences for abandoning the law of God. 

Those within our nation who reject and openly protest the usage of the LORD God's name and public prayer to Him are abomination to the LORD. 

We are one nation under God, and in God we trust; and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. 

Therefore, those who are in strong opposition of our acknowledging, honoring, adoring, respecting, and worshipping our God and Savior publicly, and blessing

His name now and forevermore, are enemies of the LORD with personal problems, in particular, but not limited to insecurity. 

We must abide in and stay with the LORD, regardless of those who join forces with the world to leave what we know to be pure, just, and right.

These who join forces are hand and hand, collectively opposing God's purposes, and will not go unpunished; such rebellion is foolish and makes no sense at all.

America Must Serve and Worship God as a Nation

No man or woman cannot rule a nation pleasing to God without help for the Holy Spirit.  All those who attempt to rule out of their own resources do evil in the sight of the LORD, as many of the kings of Israel did also, and provoked the LORD to anger, and kings and their people had to suffered the wrath of God, which many nations of today are now suffering as well.

A nation who has an ungodly leader is a foolish nation having enrolled itself for the wrath of God.  Not only a nation, but a state, city, township, church, organization, or any entity functioning for the good of mankind.  A relationship with the God of Israel and His Son Jesus Christ is a must for having divine guidance, provision and protection through the God of Israel's Holy Spirit.

He who hates, disguises it with his lips, And lays up deceit within himself. (Proverbs 26:24)

When he speaks kindly, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart. (Proverbs 26:25)

Though his hatred is covered by deceit, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly. (Proverbs 26:26)

A lying tongue hates those who are crushed by it, And a flattering mouth works ruin. (Proverbs 26:27)
