Welcome
The Doctrines of freedom of religion and separation of church and state were not created to take Christ out of Christmas, or to prohibit placing a cross on a hill, or to eliminate from the public consciousness the existence and need for Christian values. The Doctrines are, after all, grounded in Christian values - including fairness, love of fellow man, and individual rights. Don’t look for freedom of religion and separation of church and state in places that don’t share those values. To use the Doctrine of separation of church and state to prohibit expressing Christian values in public places is to bite the hand that feeds you. It’s those types of values that create and protect the Doctrines. Blot-out the values, and the Doctrines are sure to go.
Our organization - St. Jude on Internet (SJOI), through this website, our publications - and our other work - is dedicated to urging spiritual and practical paths to supporting separation of church and state while promoting Christian values of honor, integrity, fairness, and the courage to take the moral road. In the political arena this courage is exemplified by voting one’s conscience, notwithstanding the derision and prodding of the populace, or the threats of their Democrat or Republican leadership.
Or has the Doctrines of separation of church and state and freedom of religion effectively eliminated the Christian concepts of duty, honor and moral rights? The concepts that are the bulwark of our Constitution. How can every Congressional Democrat vote one way and every Republican exactly opposite? Is there no individual thought?
SJOI is an evangelical advocacy, IRS 501(c)(3), non-profit corporation. You are invited to visit our companion site JudePower.com, dedicated to personal prayer and meditation. SJOI has a more active and public role. We support novels and inspirational books designed to inspire the Christian messages of love, learning, and hope. We prod public figures to be not fearful of promoting Christian values in public places. The Doctrine of separation of church and state is a shield to protect us from a State-mandated religion. When used as a sword to intimidate and bully - that’s wrong and needs be exposed and opposed.
MISSION: Each generation needs an awareness and a re-awareness and a re-awareness of the existence of Christian values. SJOI urges all, as a spiritual ideal, to be assured their government is permitting the presentation of Christian values in the public arena, including public schools, and not let those values be blotted out by a misguided application of the Doctrine of separation of church and state - a Doctrine historically promoted and protected by Christian values.
