Read the words, "United States of America" 'No, not that. Read further.' 'One cent?' 'No, keep reading.' 'IN GOD WE TRUST?' 'Yes!" Remember, the name of treat them with respect and as houses of worship. Jesus became angry "Honoring God's temple" Honor your churches, when He saw the misuse of God's house by people who had either forgotten or didn't care about the proper respect that should have been given. Make sure that the congregation of your church is maintaining the correct attitude about respecting Tod's house. It's wrong if we see it as a place for personal contacts or business exchanges. Make sure that you attend church to worship God. Until next week—Purity God is holy, even on a coin. That inscription is writ- ten on every single Unit- ed States coin.
