There is No Doubt God & Country Ministries

[Emil J Milano]

There is no doubt in my mind or heart that from day one this was the Lord's plan. It has been something that has been in my heart for years. I had a vision of the Church about a year after I accepted the Lord, I will share it with you one day but the start of the original God & Country was of God. There is no doubt about that in my heart nor in my soul. But, let me say this, we are not the only ones God's Spirit is moving upon.

This is the time that God is calling His people out to be separate,
there is no more sitting on the fence
those that refuse to do such things as fast and pray will not make it.

If they can not be trusted with a little
they can not be trusted with much.

It is time to do away with childish things and playing games of "church"
It is a time of building up the Body of Christ and OUR relationship with Christ
being completely honest with Him.

Baring our souls
Our faults, sins, short comings.

He knows what they are anyway
So why do we insist on hiding them from Him?

I speak not only to you
But to myself and to the whole body
When I say what I say
He is my friend.

Do we not confide in our best friends?
What we have done?
What we think?
What we wish?
What we are sorry for?

He is not above us that we can't talk to Him as a friend
And still worship Him as a King
And Lord and Savior.

This is what the body of Christ needs
He calls the Church His Bride
Though she were as scarlet she is white as snow.

We are forgiven
why do we forget that?

God sees us through Jesus
And sees us perfected.

Jesus sees us through eyes of Love
And Love covers a multitude of sin,
So why do we yet hide from Him at times?

Don't allow Satan to lie to you or to me
Teach these things to those that need to hears it.

Let them be set free from fear of reprisal
Or guilt, let them know they have a true friend in Jesus
and can confide in Him as much as their best friend,
He Will listen and UNDERSTAND.

He is a forgiving, Merciful and Loving God
And He loves each one of you more then you can ever imagine.

More then I can ever imagine
And yes, this is His work and He wants us to know,
he is well pleased that we have stepped forward to do His Calling.

Bless you all in Jesus name, Amen

Monuments to Christian heritage
Stephen McDowell - Guest Columnist - 5/9/2009

Throughout history, nations have built monuments, usually to record victories in battle or to honor their gods. Every nation's monuments and national symbols reflect the heart of the people and identify what they believe is the source of their nation's greatness and achievements.

However, America's monuments were not built to record countries conquered or battles won. Our memorials contain the declaration that the source of our birth, liberty, and greatness is God.

A tour of our historic sites reveals that America was a nation birthed by men who had a firm reliance upon Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ.



The Washington Monument
From the tallest structure in Washington a message of "Praise be to God" goes forth. Engraved upon the aluminum capstone on the top of this 555-foot monument is Laus Deo. Inside the structure are carved tribute blocks with many Godly messages: "Holiness to the Lord," "Search the Scriptures," "The memory of the just is blessed," and others.

The Library of Congress
Within the Great Hall of the Jefferson Building are two cases, one containing a Gutenberg Bible and the other a hand-copied Giant Bible of Mainz. The display of these two Bibles is appropriate because, in the words of President Andrew Jackson, "The Bible is the rock upon which our republic rests." Many biblical inscriptions can be found on the ceiling and walls.

In the Main Reading Room are statues and quotes representing fields of knowledge. Moses and Paul represent religion, with the inscription, "What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?"

The Supreme Court
The biblical foundation of American law is evidenced throughout this building. On the outside East Pediment is a marble relief of Moses holding tablets containing the Ten Commandments. Engraved on the oak doors at the entrance of the Court Chamber are the Roman numerals I through X, and above the heads of the justices is a carved marble relief with a large stone tablet containing I through X (each set of numerals represents ancient law -- that is, the Ten Commandments).

The Capitol Building
All of the eight large paintings in the Rotunda present aspects of our Christian history, including The Baptism of Pocahontas and Departure of the Pilgrims from Holland which depicts the Pilgrims observing a day of prayer and fasting.

"In God We Trust," our national motto, is inscribed in letters of gold behind the speaker's rostrum in the House Chamber. Also in this chamber, above the central Gallery door, is a marble relief of Moses, the greatest of 23 noted law-givers.

The White House
An inscription by the first president to inhabit the White House, John Adams, is cut into the marble facing of the State Dining Room fireplace. It reads: "I pray Heaven to Bestow the Best of Blessings on THIS HOUSE and on All that shall hereafter Inhabit it. May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under this Roof."

Many other monuments and buildings in Washington proclaim America's faith in God. On the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery is the inscription: "Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God."

On the front facade of Union Station three scripture verses are engraved including, "Thou has put all things under his feet" and "The truth shall make you free." Lincoln's words on his memorial exclaim "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."

This brief tour of our nation's capital reveals that Christianity is the source of America's liberty and prosperity. In the words of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1854: "The great vital element in our system is the belief of our people in the pure doctrines and divine truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ."

In which case we should be doing all we can to insure these stay the same why.
