Send us a textGUESTS:ABRAHAM HAMILTON, General Counsel and Public Policy Analyst, American Family AssociationSOEREN KERN, Managing Editor, The Christian Worldview JournalTheoretical physicist Albert Einstein is quoted as saying, “The earth is the insane asylum of the universe.” A more Biblical assertion would be: “The earth is the sin asylum of the universe.”For that is the common denominator between two seemingly unrelated issues that we will discuss this weekend on The Christian Worldview.The first is a recent case before the United States Supreme Court as to whether the state of Tennessee is within Constitutional rights to ban what is euphemistically referred to as “gender affirming care” for children. That “health care” includes administering powerful drugs and hormones to minors that alter sexual development and irreversible surgeries to remove reproductive body parts.Abraham Hamilton, General Counsel and Public Policy Analyst for American Family Association and the host of The Hamilton Corner radio program will join us to discuss that.While we in America debate the illogical and impossibility of changing one's sex, people in Syria are concerned about the basics of life after an Islamist militant group just ousted long-time dictator Bashar al-Assad.What does this mean for the broader Middle East and specifically for neighboring Israel? Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal will join us in the second half of the program.-------------------------------The Christian Worldview Journal is our NEW monthly print publication.

They emphasize the importance of intentional parenting, limiting screen time, building community, promoting critical thinking, encouraging physical activity, and fostering resilience. They also highlight the role of American Heritage Girls in supporting parents and providing a Christ-centered character development program for girls.  About the Guest:Patti Garibay is the Founder and Executive Director of the national character development organization, American Heritage Girls (AHG), in which 60% of the members are homeschoolers.

American Family Association has been the leader among evangelical Christians when it comes to boycotting companies that violate the values of their Christian customers. AFA still leads in that area, but recently they widened their mission to focus their attention on the powerful strategy of shareholder corporate activism. Non-profit ministries often are given stocks as gifts from donors, but they do not use the legal authority that comes with those stocks to influence the companies they own. AFA is breaking the mold by using shares in Apple, and also banks they own, to oppose the pernicious practices of deplatforming and/or debanking Christian and conservative customers. AFA's Walker Wildmon reveals for the first time in this interview how AFA itself was the victim of debanking by the payment service Stripe and also how a security company refused to help the AFA protect its employees from violence because that company didn't like AFA's politics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Romans 12:2Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Episode Links:SEC Determines Apple Must Allow Free Speech Resolution Proposed by Shareholders To Proceed4Patriots https://4Patriots.com/Todd See this week's discounts and deals before they are gone and get free shipping on orders over $97.

On today's program, one of the early members of the influential Acts 29 church planting network is leaving – and going public with its reasons.  Grand Canyon University, now the nation's largest Christian college, faces new legal challenges. And we remember Donald Wildmon, the founder of the American Family Association, who recently died at age 85. We begin today with news that the shakeup at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City continues…this time with the exit of another high level executive. FINAL THOUGHTS Last week I promised to give a final accounting for our year-end fundraising. We had a year-end fundraising goal of about $117 thousand, in the months of November and December. I'm pleased to report today that we met that goal. We still have checks coming in the mail, but it looks like we will top out at around $150,000, which is significantly above our goal. To those of you who gave to MinistryWatch, let me say thank you.  I can't tell you how grateful I am. Four years ago, just weeks after I took over at MinistryWatch, we set a year-end goal of about $15,000. To see how we've grown over the past four years has been humbling and gratifying.  I'm grateful to God, and to you who read, listen to, and financially support our work. The producers for today's program are Rich Roszel and Jeff McIntosh.  We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Steve Rabey, Shannon Cuthrell, Kim Roberts, Daniel Ritchie, Steve Rabey, and Christina Darnell. .Until next time, may God bless you.

It's Wednesday, January 10th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Biden failed to include India and Nigeria on naughty list The U.S. State Department released its annual report on religious freedom violators last Thursday.  The report listed Countries of Particular Concern which included Myanmar, China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Saudi Arabia.  However, religious freedom groups are criticizing the Biden administration for not including India and Nigeria on the list. McKenna Wendt with International Christian Concern said, “During the Christmas season, hundreds of Christians were slaughtered in Nigeria. And in India, anti-conversion laws, mob violence, and extremist ideology continues to suppress the Christian community. ICC stands in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Nigeria and India, and we call on the U.S. State Department to hold these governments accountable.” Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” World economy slowing again The World Bank announced it expects global economic growth to slow in 2024 for a third year in a row. The institution projects the economy worldwide will grow by 2.4 percent this year. That's down from 2.6 percent last year, 3 percent in 2022, and 6.2 percent in 2021. The economic stagnation will hit developing countries the hardest in the wake of the pandemic era.  The World Bank also projected slower economic growth for the United States at 1.6 percent this year, down from 2.5 percent last year. America's $34 trillion of debt Speaking of the U.S. economy, the federal government's total debt crossed $34 trillion for the first time at the end of 2023. The new record comes just three months after the government crossed the $33 trillion threshold. Federal deficit spending has surged under recent administrations, both Democrat and Republican. Over the last year, credit rating agencies have downgraded their outlook on the government's credit standing. Proverbs 22:7 says, “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.” Apple vs. the Bible The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ruled that Apple Inc. cannot exclude a free speech resolution from its 2024 annual meeting. The American Family Association put forward the resolution over concerns that the tech company is “limiting content access within its online services based on viewpoint and that it does so based on vague and subjective terms of use.” Apple has used its vague guidelines to ban content that promotes Biblical views on marriage and sexuality.  Jeremy Tedesco with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Major corporations like Apple shouldn't be hiding from shareholders who are concerned about the company's impact on free speech.” U.S. Supreme Court hears Trump Colorado ballot case Last Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case over Colorado's removal of Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot. Last month, Colorado's Supreme Court ruled that the former president was disqualified from the office based on the insurrection clause in the Constitution's 14th Amendment in Section 3. Trump appealed the decision. The U.S. Supreme Court said it would fast-track the case with oral arguments scheduled for February 8th. Trump is also appealing a similar decision in Maine to keep him off the ballot there. Will Missouri remove Biden from ballot? Meanwhile, in Missouri, a state official has indicated he may try to remove President Joe Biden from the ballot. Last Friday, Missouri's Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft  spoke out on X.  He tweeted, “What has happened in Colorado & Maine is disgraceful & undermines our republic. While I expect the Supreme Court to overturn this, if not, Secretaries of State will step in & ensure the new legal standard for @realDonaldTrump applies equally to @JoeBiden!” Ashcroft also told NBC News, “If Democrat states are saying we're not going to let these Republicans run, you bet you're going to see the same thing happening from Republican states.” Pro-abortion Arkansas constitutional amendment doesn't make cut And finally, a pro-abortion constitutional amendment has failed again to make it onto the ballot in Arkansas.  The state's Republican Attorney General Tim Griffin already rejected another version of the amendment last year. The measure would have allowed the killing of unborn babies in certain cases. Griffin wrote that the amendment included language that was unclear and could mislead voters. Arkansas currently bans abortion in almost all cases.  Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, January 10th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Fascinating conversation about education with Abraham Hamilton III: a husband, father of six wonderful children, lawyer, home-school dad, and a teaching pastor at his local church. He also serves American Family Association as its General Counsel and Public Policy Analyst, hosts “The Hamilton Corner” on American Family Radio and can be heard on numerous programs across AFR. Topic: Hysteria against parents goes viral (related to news release from Aug. 21 “Tyranny! Court says school authorities own the children, parents must simply live with it”)

Kim Davis ordered to pay $100,000 in same-sex marriage case, new podcast about surviving Bob Jones University, Belgian public schools set on fire, Florida recognizes alternative college admissions exam, ultra-Orthodox Jewish pilgrims enter war zone, a lawsuit against American Family Association, and the Michigan state legislature recently passed a law recognizing an assortment of religious holidays.

GUEST: ABRAHAM HAMILTON III, General Counsel and Public Policy Analyst, American Family AssociationThe establishment of laws and the punishments for breaking them that apply to some but not to others is the bane of a healthy and cohesive society. The United States has prided itself as a country where there is “equal justice under the law” and “liberty and justice for all.”But Lady Justice, the statue of a woman holding the scales of justice with a blindfold on so as to judge impartially, does not seem to be so blind anymore. Perpetrators of crime and riots in our cities often go unpunished while rioters at the US Capitol from January 6, 2021 endure long prison sentences.Even at the top of the power chain, former President Trump faces four indictments for crimes that don't seem to be applied to other presidents.Is injustice becoming more prevalent in our society, and if so, why? That would be ironic, as the word “justice” is bantered around so much today. Global warming believers want “climate justice.” Those who view America as systemically racist call for “social justice”.Our guest this weekend, Abraham Hamilton III, general counsel and public policy analyst for American Family Association, will provide context on questions of justice in our society, including the four indictments against President Trump.We will also look to the universal standard of justice—God Himself. Scripture emphasizes over and over that God is just—He is perfect in His establishment of laws and perfect in the meting out of punishment for breaking them.“His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He” (Deuteronomy 32:4).Join us this weekend as we look at the justice, or lack thereof, in some current events and how God is “just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (Romans 3:26).---------------------Grace Church Greeley, CO - Pillar of Truth Conference, Sept 21-24, 2023

On today's program, a former executive at the American Family Association is suing for alleged sexual harassment. We'll have details. Also, an annual conference founded by the hymn-writing duo Keith and Kristyn Getty pushes back on the spread of megachurch music. We'll take a look. And tips for Christians wanting to give to disaster relief ministries providing aid in Morocco following a devastating earthquake last week.
