Separation of church and state?
That phrase isn’t found in the constitution or any of our founding docs
1802, Thomas Jefferson was President, and he received a question concerning religious freedom from the Baptist convention in Danbury Ct.
i. In a personal letter he wrote back and explained the importance of the 1st Amendment.
ii. He wrote about building a “wall of separation between the Church and State”.
iii. In context, he wanted them to understand that government intrusion was limited by the 1stAmendment and that they had the freedom to worship freely without gov involvement
His point: freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
Not to keep religion out of government but to keep government out of religion.
The First Amendment limits the government’s ability to censor free speech and religious expression. The First Amendment especially protects religious speech and expression. As the Supreme Court has said, “[P]rivate religious speech, far from being a First Amendment orphan, is as fully protected under the Free Speech Clause as secular private expression.” The government cannot suppress speech solely because it is religious.

Jesus is our only solution in America.
Salvation does not come from Washington or Carson City or anyplace else. He’s not on the Ballot.
No one can turn us from a downward spiral of morality, so He calls the Church to be both salt and light
We are called to be catalysts, not sponges
