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.

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.
"Do not act unjustly when deciding a case. Do not be partial to the poor or give preference to the rich; judge your neighbor fairly.” Leviticus 19:15 (CSB).

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.
"Do they spite Me?" declares the LORD. "Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?" Jeremiah 7:19 (NASB).

Amazon removed the bestselling book “When Harry Became Sally: Responding To The Transgender Moment” from its online store.
Published in 2018 by then-Heritage Foundation research fellow and now-Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan T. Anderson, the book was an immediate bestseller, even on Amazon. But now, Anderson’s academic work confronting modern orthodoxy on transgenderism, has been cancelled.
Meanwhile, Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” is still available there.
The truth is never threatened by a lie. But, a lie cannot stand in the face of the truth. That’s why liars seek to cancel or censor the truth.

Soon after inauguration the Biden administration cancelled the Keystone Pipeline. In so doing, the Biden camp terminated thousands of American jobs.
And for what? Is the environment safer now that the oil, that will continue flow, will be transported by train instead of through the pipeline?
Will other countries stop buying oil now that the XL Pipeline was shut down?
Under President Trump, America became a net energy exporter for the first time in nearly 70 years.
Now, other countries will just buy their oil elsewhere instead of getting it from us.
Biden administration policies make America weaker and our enemies stronger.

Prior to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, over 80% of American families were debt free.
Today, over 80% of the American people are saddled with debt.
I was asked recently asked what advice I could offer in the midst of the national tension we currently face. One of the things I said in response was to work toward getting completely out of debt.
So much fruitfulness and faithfulness to God has been robbed from us due to the impact of crushing debt.
One of the best things you can do for your family right now is to become debt-free.

Karl Marx, an emissary of evil, and Charles Spurgeon, the “Prince of Preachers,” were evangelists of diametrically opposed messages, yet they both lived in London and the same time.
In fact, when asked the name of the person he most detested, Friedrich Engels, Marx’s cohort in chaos, responded unequivocally: “Spurgeon.”
A generation later George Bernard Shaw, a hardcore communist, seethed in hatred for William Booth and his Salvation Army of volunteers.
Time and again, robust Christian witness has been the inoculate against the proliferation of Marxist poison in society.
“The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.” Jeremiah 1:1-2 (NASB).

Jeremiah descended from a priestly lineage in Judah. He grew up in Anathoth, about 2-4 miles northeast of Jerusalem, where the temple was located. He began ministering prophetically about 627 B.C., during the 13th year of King Josiah’s reign. This is about 5 years before Josiah began Judah’s spiritual reformation.
It is very likely that Josiah’s reformation was influenced by Jeremiah’s preaching.

In a 6-3 split ruling in South Bay United Pentecostal Church et al. v. Gavin Newsom, the U.S. Supreme Court decided California’s absolute prohibition of in-person worship was unconstitutional. But, it ruled that the government could limit in-person worship to 25% of building capacity and the government can prohibit in-person worshipers from singing.
This from the most conservative supreme court in our lifetimes…
I missed the part where the constitution provides a Covid-19 exception to the First Amendment that allows government to dictate church worship policy.

In the name of “trans-inclusivity,” Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust in England have formally implemented a new policy for its maternity services department, which now will be called "perinatal services,” you know… because the word “maternal” is bigoted and exclusive.
Staff have been instructed to replace "breastmilk" with the terms "human milk,” “chest-milk," or "milk from the feeding or parent.”
Other language changes include replacing "woman" with "person" and "father" with "parent," "co-parent," or "second biological parent.”
Denying reality in the name of inclusivity… society calls that progress???
