The Hamilton Minute is a power packed 60 seconds where we tackle the issues of the day through the lens of God’s Word. You don’t want to miss a moment of it.
“Blessed are you when [people] insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.” Matthew 5:11 (NASB).

Jack Phillips, owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, CO is back in court again!
After earning unwanted fame after an unelected gaggle of authoritarians at the Colorado Civil Rights Commission embarked on a six-year bigoted crusade to wreck his business after he refused to design a specialty cake for a same-sex wedding in 2012.
Now, a transgender activist has admitted targeting Phillips by requesting a cake celebrating transgenderism. Jack declined and that activist filed a lawsuit against him. But, they’ve picked on the wrong guy.
Jack will not back down, because he says the fight is worth it.

Bruce Sacerdote, a Dartmouth College economics professor, noticed Covid-19 television coverage always seemed negative.
He then gathered two other researches to analyze the matter and they found about 87 percent of national U.S. media coverage was negative compared to only 51 percent in international media, 53 percent in U.S. regional media and 64 percent in scientific journals.
But New York Times columnist David Leonhardt is careful to emphasize that Sacerdote doesn’t think journalists reported falsehoods per se. They simply emphasized certain negative facts and ignored…. other… facts!
We call that lying where I’m from.

Coming 3 points shy of advancing to the NCAA Men’s Basketball Elite 8 round in their Cinderella March Madness journey, the Oral Roberts University Golden Eagles drew the ire of USA today’s “For the Win” publication.
The opinion article author said ORU adhered to “archaic” behavioral standards and codes of conduct.
And you know what those standards are. Because ORU adheres to the Bible’s teaching on sexuality, USA Today published a piece calling for them to be booted out of the NCAA.
Regressive want Christianity cancelled from the public life. Period.
“But evil men and impostors will proceed [from bad] to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” Ephesians 4:28(a) (NASB).

Columbia University is slated to hold six segregated graduation ceremonies, in addition to its school-wide ceremony, based on ethnicity, income, and sexual orientation.
Yep, you heard me right.
The segregation celebrations listed include:
“Latinx Graduation,”
“Black Graduation,”
“Asian Graduation,”
“Native Graduation” for Native American students,
“Lavender Graduation” for the LGBTQIAP+ identified,
and an “FLI Graduation” for “first generation and/or low income community students.”
This is textbook regressivism! What is wrong with these people?!?!?!?!
Who in their right mind would think segregating graduation ceremonies like this would make life better in America?
“Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands.” Ephesians 4:28(a) (NASB).

Whenever I hear the federal government is going to give something to someone I reflexively clutch my wallet. Because the federal government doesn’t generate money in its own right. So whenever they “give” something it always comes from you and me, the taxpayers.
The Biden administration has signaled that it will introduce a gradual tax increase to help “pay for” his spending initiatives, including Covid stimulus payments.
How would Americans feel if they knew the stimulus payments they may receive today will only be followed by increases in their federal income taxes tomorrow?
“A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 22:5 (NASB).

Thanks to State Senator Angela Hill, who authored and fought tirelessly for the bill, Mississippi has become the first state in the U.S. in 2021 to enact a law that prohibits males who identify themselves as females from competing against girls in public school sports in the state.
The Mississippi Fairness Act was passed by the state legislature and signed into law by the state’s governor and it will apply to public K-12 schools as well as colleges and universities.

The Arkansas legislature has passed and its governor signed into law a measure that bans abortion except to save the life of a pregnant woman in a physician determined medical emergency. The value of a person’s life isn’t determined by the circumstances in which they were conceived. So, there are no other exceptions in the law.
It’s expressly stated in its legislative findings that intentional elimination of infant life is a crime against humanity. This is the first law to explicitly do so and it will challenge the horrendous 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and its progeny.

It was announced last week that prosecutors in Canada have agreed to withdraw all but one of the Public Health Act offenses that Pastor James Coates was charged with. Additionally, after a month-long incarceration that began February 16th, Pastor Coates was finally released from jail without any conditions, pending his May 3rd trial on the one remaining charge of violating an Order of the Chief Medical Officer when he refused to limit corporate worship in the church he pastors due to Covid.
Yeah, they put him in jail for that.

The Leander Independent School District, north of Austin, TX, is apologizing to parents after books with inappropriate content including graphic sex scenes were assigned to teens as part of the reading curriculum.
Leander ISD admitted in a statement apologizing for the mistake, “We over-relied on written reviews and recommendations.”
The district appeared to cut corners during lockdown, choosing not to read the books before including them in high school reading lists.
The district concluded, “We acknowledge this breakdown and apologize for selecting inappropriate literature for the assigned students’ ages.”
The LORD hates a lying tongue. Paraphrased from Proverbs 6:16-17 (NASB).

A group that calls itself the “Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden Coalition” released an open letter in which they had the audacity to plead “shock and betrayal” at what Joseph Robinette Biden had long promised to due. And that is use the his power to advance the pro-death cause under the guise of “healthcare for women.”
They cannot honestly say they weren't warned. Everyone in America knew where Biden stood on in utero baby murder -- because he told them! He said it in 13 debates, multiple campaign ads, and a Planned Parenthood townhall.
They can claim shock, but that doesn’t make it so.

During an interview on MSNBC’s “All In,” House Majority Whip Rep. Jim Clyburn argued for special exceptions to the filibuster rule in the U.S. Senate when it comes to civil rights legislation.
He specifically said, “Protected classes are treated specially… the filibuster ought not to apply to benefits and other issues surrounding protective classes.”
What does that clear the way for folks? The Equality Act.
The U.S. Senate will see a push to skirt the filibuster and pass the Equality Act because it seeks include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes in U.S. Civil Rights law.

Marriage is the first institution God sanctioned for mankind. God has made His design for marriage, family, and life clear from the beginning. Due to a hardness of heart, man tries time and time again to supplant God’s ways.
Now more than ever it’s imperative for the people of God to stand on His Word concerning marriage, family, and life.
That’s why American Family Association is hosting the 2021 Marriage, Family, Life Conference June 24th-26th at Hope Church in Tupelo, MS. “MFL21” will equip believers to articulate and defend biblical truth to a hostile culture.

Article 1, section 3 of the U.S. Constitution says when the “President of the United States is tried” for impeachment, “the Chief Justice SHALL preside…”
That sentence reveals the sheer unconstitutionality of this impeachment trial charade. If the proceedings were legitimate, Chief Justice John Roberts must preside, just as he did in early 2020.
Article 1, section 3 also says you cannot consider disqualification from future office where you cannot apply the “removal from office” sanction.
Simply put, this impeachment trial is nothing more than unconstitutional political theater further deepening our national polarization.

Many who oppose Christianity target their hostility on our foundation, the Bible. They say it is unreliable because Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 are contradictory accounts of the creation story.
In actuality, the 2 chapters are complimentary and not contradictory.
When Jesus was asked about marriage, He quoted from both chapters 1 and 2, saying that He made them both to be male and female in the beginning. "And for this cause shall a man leave his mother and father and cleave unto his wife."
Genesis 1 is an overview of the creation story and Genesis 2 is an up close examination of day 6. If Jesus relies on them both, so can we.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

What is the proper role of government? Romans chapter 13 outlines government’s function and it is basically this: to restrain or to punish wickedness and to reward righteousness.
Government was never intended to be our savior. Government is our servant.
As we focus on our civil occupations and our civic engagement responsibilities, let us never forget that government is not our God. We don’t put our trust in it; we put our trust in our Christ.
As a result, what we want is a government that stays out of our way and leaves room for our church to do our business of fulfilling the Great Commission.

On the heels of the French Revolution, he came to America in 1831 to investigate America's ascendency. In doing so, he found that America's greatness did not lie in her economic system. It did not lie in her banking system. Nor did it lie in her educational system.
He found that America's pulpits, aflamed with righteousness, was the source of America's greatness. He opined that America is great because she is good, but when America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.
Let us pray for restoration of the flame of righteousness in our pulpits.

Recently I heard a statement that went like this, “I don’t think principles matter if you can’t get elected.”
Principles form the core of who you are. Principles form the foundation of a civil society.
George Washington in his farewell address identified religion and morality as indispensable supports.
“In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness,” George Washington said.
It makes me think of a scripture. “What would it profit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his soul?”
What would it profit a man to gain an election yet lose his principles?

In a 6-3 decision, Justices Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett joined the Regressive flank of the Supreme Court, which includes Chief Justice John Roberts frankly, in denying once again to hear the Pennsylvania lawsuit, originally filed prior to the November elections, concerning the PA state supreme court’s unconstitutional decision to change the state’s election laws.
Ironically, four of these justices refused to hear the case before the election because the election hadn’t yet occurred. Now they say the legal claims are moot.
Before, “it’s too early” to address these issues. Now, it’s too late.

The Biden administration’s massive amnesty bill is here. It’s called the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021. It provides amnesty for all illegal aliens and those deported by the Trump administration.
Employers can keep illegal aliens on the payroll as long as they say the employee intends to apply for amnesty.
The bill also ends penalties for Visa overstays. So if you came here on a Tourist Visa in December or earlier, and overstayed, congratulations, you would be on a path to citizenship under this bill.

With Democrat majorities in the House of Representatives and the deciding vote in the U.S. Senate, it is revealing that Nancy Pelosi’s first legislative priority is cementing Democratic political power.
H.R. 1 has been reintroduced in the House of Representatives. It imposes California-style election rules nationwide and centralizes federal election governance in Washington D.C.
It strips state legislatures of their role in drawing congressional districts and deprives states of their constitutionally mandated conducting of federal elections.
The misnamed “For the People Act” is brazenly unconstitutional and its ultimate goal is to establish unrivaled national Democrat political control.
