“Preach the word; be ready in season [and] out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (NASB95).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

In the National Religious Broadcasters v. Billy Long (IRS Commissioner) the IRS admitted in open court filing that Churches and their Pastors do not violate the law when they discuss electoral politics or even endorse candidates from their pulpits. Therefore, they do not risk their tax exempt status by doing so.

This is a huge development. The IRS is simply admitting publicly what has always been true. Our founders recognized the significant role the Church plays in forming a self-governed people necessary to sustain a nation of self-governance. Washington knew it. Religion and morality are indispensable.
