JAN'S NEWSLETTER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . February 5, 2004


Greetings to Relatives and Friends:

We are well into 2004, which is a pivotal year for us as individuals, for our families, and for our country.   We are under attack on all issues that we hold dear and which made America the greatest country in the world.

Critical issues, to name a few, are: marriage, sanctity of life, Scripture as the defining authority, and decency.  Perhaps one of the most serious issues is the push for making our nation secular.  France has had secularization as a goal for some time.  Currently they are discussing a bill that will make any religious symbol (including the cross) illegal in the public school.  Our nation is already on that slippery slope.  We must take a strong stand to uphold our Christian values. 

No nation can survive when standards are taken away. "Every man did that which was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25). "America will never be destroyed from the outside.  If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." --Abraham Lincoln

We received the following article from a good friend and want to share it with you.

Did You Know? . . . Some American Facts:

As you walk up the steps to the Capitol Building which houses the Supreme Court, you can see near the top of the building a row of the world's law givers and each one is facing the one in the middle who faces forward with a full frontal view.

It is Moses and the Ten Commandments!

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

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see on 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, DC.  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 taxpayers since 1777.

Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

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.

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?

Please copy this and send to everyone you can. Let's put it around the world and let the world see what this country was built on.

For some time now, I have been burdened for our families.   So much heartache exists because Christian principles are not being applied to family life.  Please join me in prayer on this matter.  Please examine your own actions and then encourage your church to begin instruction on God's beautiful plan for the home.  We must have strong families if we are ever to become, once again, the greatest country in the world.

Remember to pray for our President.  The attacks are already malicious and damaging.  Pray that these attacks will be seen for what they really are and that America will not be deceived. "Ye shall know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

I think of you often and pray for a profitable 2004.

Jan Walters
