Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be his ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. And now, the Hamilton Corner. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. Thank you for tuning in to the program. Every single one of you, however you have tuned in. I am grateful. We are grateful for you making that decision. If you are a live radio listener, welcome to the show. Thank you for tuning in. If you are a podcaster, podcast listener, thank you for tuning in to the program. if you are a live television watcher. Thank you for tuning in. Video streamers, you're watching on NRB TV. Thank you for tuning in as well. It is a privilege and a pleasure to be a part of your day. Many of you tune in on a daily basis, and we are grateful for you making that decision. It's good to be back in studio after being in Virginia. It was a great time there. J. Mack was there. He got to introduce himself in certain shirts he wore to the people who were attending the Home Educators Association of Virginia's Convention. But I'm glad to be back home. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part-time job where you generate an income to your full-time jobs, your full-time jobs where we cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to make your transition with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family.

2:09
I say this daily because it's true. What goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House. A lot of important things happen in the White House, but they are not more important to you or to me, then what happens in our home before there were modern iterations of civil government, before there were orders of priests and prophets before monarchies. The first institution that God established was the family. It's very easy to allow things of the world to crowd out our vision, to crowd our focus, to divert our attention. But if you are blessed as I am to have children still in your home, under your roof, under your authority, the time is fleeting. The time is fleeting. You won't get to repeat 15 years old. You won't get to repeat. You know ages 10 through 16, you won't get to repeat. Ages five through seven. What we must do, we must do now. We must do now. So as you are making your transition to your full-time jobs, I want to encourage you to do so with intentionality. With intentionality, refuse to allow yourself be poured out everywhere else except in your home, except in serving your family. But exalt the King of glory starting right in your home. Praise God. We will go to the Word of God today. Jeremiah chapter 12 verses 1 through 5. Jeremiah chapter 12 verses 1 through 5. There's so much happening in the world. We must, we must, we must be anchored in the Lord's holy word by way of reminder, the Prophet Jeremiah, minister to Jews in the Southern Kingdom of Judah from 627 BC there about to 586 BC, right?
-
4:13
All the way up to and through to Nebuchadnezzar's conquest and ultimate exile of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. That was the time period of Jeremiah's ministry. the very, very simple purpose of the book was to urge the people of God to turn from their sins and return to him. Very, very simply. In chapter 12 of this book, the Lord has provided, I believe, sage wisdom for us, not sage wisdom, but wisdom for us, divine wisdom for us, excuse me. That is appropriate for our times here and now. And I encourage you to welcome the Spirit of God to minister his word to you beyond what I have to say because it's so vitally important, so vitally important. Here we go. Jeremiah chapter 12 verses 1 and 2 and 5. I should say this, the first four verses in this chapter that I'm going to read are a part of Jeremiah's prayer. He is crying out to God and very similar to the way the book of a back starts is what's happening here because when I get to verse five, that is the beginning of God responding to Jeremiah. Jeremiah documents how God responds to his earnest plea in light of what he's witnessing and what he's experiencing. I will remind you that Jeremiah is a prophet of God faithfully and diligently proclaimed what God told him to share, to put told him to say and told him to write, but the people by and large did not listen to him. They did not heed what he warned. So this colors, if you will, what we're going to read in the word of God. Jeremiah chapter 12 verse one. This is Jeremiah crying out to the Lord. Righteous are you, O Lord, that I would plead my case with you. Indeed, I would discuss matters of justice with you.

6:16
Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease? You have planted them. They have also taken root. They grow. They have even produced fruit. You are near to their lips, but far from their hearts, or far from their reigns. Some passages, some translations render this phrase. You are near to their lips, but far from their hearts. But you know me, O Lord. You see me, and you examine my heart's attitude toward you, drag them off like sheep for the slaughter and set them apart for a day of carnage. How long is the land to mourn and the vegetation of the countryside to wither? For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, animals and birds have been snatched away because men have said he will not see our ending, he will not see our latter ending. And God responds to Jeremiah, If you have run with the footmen and they have weirried you, then how can you contend with horses? If you fall down in the land of peace, how will you do in the thicket of Jordan? I'm gonna kind of unpack this a little bit. These first four verses I believe reflect the heart's cry of many people in our country, many believers in our nation in particular, a lot of the people who are a part of the Hamilton Corner audience. I believe that right at the beginning Jeremiah begins this plea by affirming the fact that God is righteous. So he's establishing that he's not attempting to challenge or question God. He's not in arrogance attempting to assert or impose upon God his morality.
-
8:20
He's not questioning God. He's just asking God questions. As you've heard me say before, God welcomes our questions where the Lord draws his line is when we transducer or move over to endeavor, endeavoring to challenge him, to question him. Asking questions is different than offering a challenge to him. When I say challenge, I'm not saying, when he says, test me in these things, no, I'm talking about challenging the authority that he has, his divinity, his character, his nature. He just asks flat out in verse one, why has the way of the wicked prospect? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease? You see, Jeremiah feels as if the Lord is allowing the wicked to thrive. Then in verse two, he goes even further in acknowledging God's sovereignty, because though he's saying, yeah, these wicked is thriving, he's saying, but you have planted them, he's a firm and in fact that God is sovereign. You have planted them and they have taken root. They grow and they've even produced fruit. You are near to their lips, but far from their hearts. There Jeremiah reveals the core of his concern, Lord, these people are hypocrites. They claim to know you, they claim to love you, but they don't. It's evident the fruit that they bore, the fruit that they produce is evident that it's rotten. So the core of Jeremiah's umbrage is that he's concerned that the Lord is allowing hypocrites who have feigned belief in Him to thrive. Then the Lord responds to Jeremiah, if you have run with the footmen, if they have tired you, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? But the Lord is saying to Jeremiah, and that simple phrasing is that, oh, if you think this is bad, this is not the end of it, but I haven't planted you to be wearied by the context that I have planted you to minister to me.
-
10:27
And if you cannot navigate this earlier stage, early stage of the context I planted you to serve me in, then how will you be able to contend going further? How will you be able to be my vessel, be my witness, be my ambassador when things continue? Now, why am I saying that? And what is the Lord driving at when he says, if this has we read you? Brothers and sisters, you have heard me say time and time again that the times we are living in God is not surprised by them. He's planted you in me for this moment. He's deposited you in me for this moment. ordained us for this moment and this moment has been ordained for us. But what often occurs, and I understand it because I'm a human being just like me. Everybody was listening to this show. What often occurs, we become weirried by the context we've been planted in. So what is the Lord pointing toward when he talks about Jeremiah being weirried? Of course you have the feelings, the emotions, the physicality, even of weirriedness, but I think there is something additional there. What I believe the Lord would want us to be warned of is that the weariness we need to be fortified against is a weariness that would cause us to Abandon our Christian distinction It is a weariness that would cause us to begin to well the world does it this way it's time to fight fire with fire It's a weirdness that also that could cause us to Change what our objectives are to where you know I've heard people say that you know But we just want to, you know, suck it to the libs or, you know, drink liberal tears. That's not the position of the believer. That's not. I understand we live in the Constitution or the Republic of Democratic features. I understand that as a result of God's sovereign grace, allowing us to be in a nation of the people, by the people, before the people that we participate in our body politic, but make no mistake about it.
-
12:37
God has planted us in this context with the freedoms that we enjoy, not so that the freedoms become our God, but that the God who has granted us the freedoms remains our God. You see, the temptations are not merely limited to what is commonly described as a Hollywood sins. The temptations also include those things that will compel you or me to abandon fidelity to the King of Glory and begin to look just like the very world that we are complaining about. Because we must remember that even if it appears that evil persists at best is persisting is temporal. We must be very careful that we don't allow the context that we're in to cause the love of God to wax cold in us. To where we become a part of those loveless people, that the Lord warned us to love a God who wax cold among many. And when we see people, we no longer see people made in the image of God, who kept eternal souls, who Jesus loved so much that He died for them to. All we see is political enemies. All I'm saying, brothers and sisters, is what God said. If you've run with the footmen of they have we, and they have weirried you, how will you contend with horses? The Lord has not planted us brothers and sisters in this environment so that we become the environment. He said we're in the world, but not of the world. He said, I know that the people will hate my disciples, but I'm not praying that they be removed from it. I'm not praying that they be kept in it. So I want to specifically speak to those who are weary. Brothers and sisters, I want to encourage you not to faint. And if you recognize that the ugliness of our time is beginning to encroach upon your heart and to cause ugliness to set in your heart, very simply I would encourage you to bring it before the Lord and repent.

14:42
Lay it beforehand and allow the King of glory to renew your strength as the Eagles, so that we, the Lord's remnant, may be about be found faithful in the context that he's planted us in, that is glory, what about?

Shiting light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, III here. Yes, my brothers and sisters do not become weary and well doing. We'll reap if we don't faint. We don't faint. Hours is the privilege and opportunity to remain faithful to our Lord. And it's something I say repeatedly because it is moving to me to consider that Daniel one of his friends, the scripture records their lifetime in Babylon far longer than they ever were in Judah.
-
16:45
But though they lived in Babylon, a part of that 70 years as the Prophet Jeremiah prophesied, Babylon never lived in them, never lived in them. And that is my desire for myself as well as the body of Christ, that though we were deposited in the earth in this time that this time doesn't seep into our hearts and shape what we are and who we are that we are shaped by the Spirit of God and that we increase in the fruit of the Spirit. We increase in the love of God being the engine that drives our engagement. We increase in godliness. We increase in righteousness. We increase in obeying the Lord and we increase in eternity-based compassion. Notice I didn't say compassion the way the world conveys it. And as a result of that continuous sanctification that the Lord reveals Himself to those that we engage for His glory. May it be so. May it be so. Glory to God. Well, we, as I mentioned, we were in Virginia last week, what a time we had there an amazing and amazing event that was my first time participating in that event and um HJV president and Miller and her staff and all of the people all of the volunteers thank you for helping us and cheating us kindly serving my family helping J Mac making on time to the breakout sessions J Mac was always early I'm not gonna do that I can do it to you like that. He's always always early. I was just joking. I was just joking. I praise God next week. What a whirlwind will be in Denver at the Rocky Mountain homeschool conference in Denver Colorado. The conferences June 13th through the 15th Thursday through Saturday. Glory to God that I'll have the privilege of participating there. If you're in the in Denver, please come and say hi. It was a pleasure meeting all of you were in Virginia.
-
19:05
There was such a significant amount of people who attended the breakout sessions where I presented that listened to this program. So thank you to all of you. It was a pleasure meeting you in person, getting to greet you and to spend that time with you. And I pray that you were encouraged as I was encouraged by you that we continue to press forward in the Lord. All right. Issues of the day. Some foolishness and not so much, some things that are not so much foolishness. First, I want to say, I thank God for the Israeli Special Forces who were able to conduct that special operation. It was Operation Arnan. It had another name initially, but the operation resulted in the rescue of four Israeli hostages, Noah Argamani, 26 years old Almagmaier. Elma my year John 21 years old Andrei Coslov 27 years old and slow me Zeev 41 years old there were special Israeli special forces who actually died in this one Chief inspector Arnhan Zamora Was critically wounded during the rescue effort and later died from his wounds But I'm gonna say something now that I don't think many people are aware of So the rescue occurred in central Gaza from Hamas. Captors, you wanna know who was holding these four hostages? You wanna know? It was civilians, people who identified themselves as Palestinian civilians being held in civilian residential homes.
-
21:08
You got what I just said? We're being held telling you. They were being held, I'm sorry. not residential homes, they were being held in two buildings by Palestinian families, non combatant so as they've been described. And this highlights one of the things that I've said before, when you hear people saying things like, Oh, there's so many innocent people. And I agree, there are some innocent people who are caught in a crossfire. But you also have some who are not soldiers, so to speak, but they are doing the work of a mouse because one of the strategies that a mouse seeks to employee is to mingle what's commonly understood as civilian portions of their population with those that are common described as soldiers. And so on the outside prior to the discovery of the hostages, if much of Western media would have gotten a hold of Operation R-NON and said they are going to raid a building that's presently occupied by civilians, the by civilians, the world would have been an uproar. Until they kicked the final door open and got the people held hostage to where these, no, so-called civilians, this is why, this is why, we should not rush the judgment. Now, I'm keenly aware that there are some who are non-combatants in Gaza, who Hamas is forcing to do their bidding. I'm aware of that, but not all of them are being forced. Not all of them are being forced. So that's something that's just kind of breaking news that is happening that I wanted to bring to your attention.

Additionally, many of you know, the NBA Finals are underway and like a lot of you, I kind of, you know, I love basketball, but the NBA honestly has been fading on me for quite some time. I still enjoy basketball. I don't get to play as, I don't call to get to play at all now. I used to play all the time. I'm looking, I want to start playing again. But one of the things that caught my attention prior to, I believe they play, I didn't get to watch the game, but they played last night, I guess. But there was a press conference on Saturday where the Boston Celtics, the two teams that are in the finals are the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks and Boston's coaches, Joe Missoula. Now Joe Missoula, anybody who's unfamiliar with him, He's pretty outspoken about his Christian faith. You know, in a world where you can be anything you wanna be, you can come out every closet, go back in, come back around, turn around, touch the ground, and shout out, you know, I'm Barney, I'm Barney today, that's right, I'm Barney. Baby Bob is on the way, I'm Barney. I identify as Barney. And the world would go, yeah, so bold, courageous. All Barney's matter, Barney's lies matter. You know, but you come out saying you're a Christian. Oh, I'm big at it. Well, Joe Missoula was asked a question and the question was clearly prompted within the context of the current socio-political divisive milieu. And let me go back. I don't know the reporter's intention, but I know what the question was. So I know how the question will be. would have been received had Joe Missoula answered it in an expected fashion how it would have been utilized in the divisive movie. Maybe the reporter had another motive. I don't want to impune his motivations if I'm not aware of it. All right. So let me let me just say that however, and I'm going to play it so you can not hear not only the his Joe Joe Missoula's Missoula's answer, but I want you to hear the question as well because this is something that has become a consistent feature of our societal and parlops.
-
25:34
Joe Missoula was asked because he's a head coach of the Boston Celtics and Jason Kidd, former basketball player himself, NBA Hall of Famer, Jason Kidd, that they're both more melanating, except I don't know how much melanin Jason Kidd had. Jason Kidd, you know. But he was asked, Coach Missoula was asked whether or not this was something he took note of or it's just something he was proud of. And I want you here, not only the question, The three points of this clip is a very short clip. The clip is going to last a total of what? 20, 27 seconds. All right, I want you to know the question that's asked. All right, note Coach Mizzoula's answer, but then notice the response to Coach Mizzoula's answer. All right, those are the three components of this clip. It's clip number one, go. Hey, Joe, Vince Guelloy, Yahoo Sports. For the first time since 1975, this is the NBA Finals where you have two black-haired coaches. Given the plight, sometimes with black-haired coaches in the NBA, do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride in this? How do you view this or do you not see it at all? I wonder how many of those are being Christian coaches. David Aldridge? Did you hear that? Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness, you heard the question. Is this something you take pride in? Is this something you're celebrating? Is this a wonderful strive? What are you thinking about it? Because of clearly, you can see what the question was promulgated to. You listen, right? Either you're going to affirm, and it is, you know, in, oftentimes, in trial alternatives we'll resonate with this, if you're in a court of law, when you suggest the answer that you're looking for in the question, that's called a leading question. Now you have some very intelligent, very smart attorneys, they find all kinds of ways to ask leading questions, but what a leading question is, is one, to where the answer to the question is suggested in the question.
-
27:42
For example, here's the leading question for Jay Mac. Jeff, you think I'm the greatest talk show host, don't you? Heh heh heh heh heh. What had I just do? I suggested in the question what I want Jeff's answer to be. So I put him in a position. Heh heh heh. Well, he already knows what I want him to say. All right, I'm just describing that. However, Joe Missoula doesn't take the bait in one direction or the other. You see, cause he's either put in the position where he has to affirm a notion and listen. The answer to this question doesn't mean he's unaware of his own ethnicity or the ethnicity of Jason Gitt or his significance or lack thereof in NBA history, but his answer revealed, and you saw how Quickly Coach Missoula answered, his answer revealed what was chief in his mind and heart, which is why I love this clip so much. Because if you have been purchased the shared blood of Jesus Christ. And you are a member of his eternal family that you are doing life at whatever stage you're in, whether you're an MBA basketball coach, whether you're a sanitation engineer, whether you're a high school teacher, whether you are a home builder, whether you're an attorney, you're a doctor, you're a law enforcement officer, no matter what you may be, if you are a member of the Lord's eternal family, guess what ranks foremost in your mind and heart. So Coach Mizzoula in turn, answers the question with a question, revealing what is chief in his heart by saying, I wonder how many of those coaches were Christian, elevating the entire conversation, putting the kabosh on efforts to use the question or the answer, more importantly, Coach Mizzoula's answer as a mechanism for divisiveness, but he elevates the conversation to an eternal consideration.
-
29:52
Coach Missoula, thank you for that. I appreciate what you did in that answer. And then did you note the response? Question didn't have any follow-ups. You heard that silence, and have you ever been in the NBA press conference? You know that's not how it normally rolls. You could have heard a pin job in that. That's moving on next question. The reason why I wanted to bring that to your attention, because I believe it is a one answer, brief demonstration of how we as believers should engage in our current time period. We should look for opportunities to elevate the conversations and to centralize eternal matters at every opportunity. That mean we are unaware of temporal matters. That mean we don't engage in temporal matters at all. But it was massively done. And the thing I love most about it is that it clearly came out of Coach Missoula's heart. This was what his immediate thought was. Oh, I wonder if maybe it was coaches or Christian. I thought it was masterfully done. I thought it was masterfully done. And I thought it highlights why the Lord has deposited Christ's followers in this moment. Brothers and sisters, if we would rely on the Lord, we can be vessels of honor to respond to our moments in the exact same way, in the exact same way. We don't have to be compelled to joust in carnality and allow carnality in all of the the attendant features of it, ugliness, ungodliness. We have the wherewithal to be Christ ambassadors in the time that he's planted us in. It was massively done and they didn't really know what to do with it.
-
31:52
Now I thought it was interesting because after this the reporter went on to begin to write, oh for whatever coach Missoula was unwilling to engage in conversations about, he said race, y'all know, it's ethnicity, not race. But I'm like, that's a lie. His answer didn't reveal that he was unwilling to engage in the conversation and you reported and asked any follow ups. So because either you didn't have the the wit to respond or because you was stunned for whatever reason you're asking to follow up. So now you're gonna lie about the coach and say he was unwilling to engage in the conversation about ethnicity, which is simply untrue, which is simply untrue. But because you didn't know how to respond in the moment, it's kind of like you were confounded, simple, concise, retort, confounded the reporter who then left the exchange to go and lie about what was said. Coach Missoula, good work my man. The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Commentaries are available at EFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, the third here, man, this show is proven. We're already in the third segment. The simple encapsulation I'm gonna put on Coach Mizzoule's description is, man, is Jesus over everything. Jesus over everything. So I'm grateful for that display in that moment. I pray to a little, we're strengthening them for future moments. It is interesting that the Celtics are putting a whooping on the mabs from as I understand it. thing is to it or nothing. But you know, that's a side I'm talking about. The man's bold and courageous declaration of Christ following Trump being socio-political discussion. I truly, truly appreciated that. Now, I brought this next story to your attention when Dr. Ethan Heim was notified that he was a person of interest in an investigation in Houston, Texas. He's a position, a really little known surgeon who worked at the Texas Children's Hospital, which is a pretty good hospital, because he learned that the hospital and that physicians in the hospital were continuing to do transgender surgeries and treatments on minors, even though first Texas Governor's Greg Abbott issued an executive order for bidding it and then the Texas legislature passed a law outlawing those procedures and treatments, but people in his own hospital were continuing to do so.
-
34:58
So he anonymously provided redacted anonymous records documenting the treatment, although he did not identify any individuals because there's a law. The acronym for it is HIPAA, H-I-P-P-A-A. I have utilized it numerous times with dealing with cases, with medical records that had us get undisciplined in the full name of the law as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, HIPAA, H-I-P-A-A. Well, after being notified that he was a person and Person of interest in investigation. He could not identify for what wouldn't for what have I been? Highlighted as a person of interest for this investigation well because of the legal matters dr Hind began to speak publicly as a pre-emptive defense against what happened to say I am the one who was a whistleblower who anonymously revealed that my hospital was doing these things the illegal treatments in the state of Texas and were ceased after Dr. Heim went public. Well, first leaked his findings to journalists, to a journalist here in America. And ultimately those things were stopped. So it's any number of children were spared in the state of Texas from undergoing these procedures there because of what Dr. Heim courageously did in serving as a whistleblower. Well, now he has been formally indicted by the Department of Justice, Merrick Garland's outfit. In response to him leaking this information, getting his hospital to stop violating Texas law, he has now been granted and greeted with a federal indictment. What is a federal indictment for? Well, violations of HIPAA.
-
36:58
Now the thing about it is that the law does not prohibit discussing procedures and things in an anonymous manner, what it prohibits is disclosing personal information. So just to give a high-put that a good example, if there are records that are released that says, you know, Richie Rich, Richie Rich is in the studio, you know, in the screening room, they're records that Richie Rich had a certain procedure. If that was disclosed, that would be a violation of HIPAA. But if what is disclosed, for example, for data collection purposes or statistical accumulation, that in this hospital there's a person who had a particular procedure, that would not be a violation of HIPAA because you're not connecting whatever the procedural information is to the person. Simply put, HIPAA is for personal protection. All right. And Dr. Heim would understand is would know this. Okay. He would know that I cannot release personal health information. All right. So it will be interesting to see what evidence the department of justice has that Dr. Heim violated HIPAA because as far as he's aware, There, whatever this is that he didn't disclose any personal information. But I want you to hear a little bit about him because it seems that this indictment is nothing more than retaliation from the Biden Department of Justice because his whistleblowing, his whistleblowing put a halt on the Biden administration's preference for alphabet regressing. Listen to and watch clip number two. Go. Tell us what you saw or what you understood and knew was happening with these transgender procedures at Texas Children's, which is a phenomenal hospital, by the way. Yeah, it really is a phenomenal hospital, but there are a select few individuals who are not doing the right thing.
-
39:02
So I had found out that they released that statement in March of 2022, that they were shutting down their program. But soon after I found out that was not the case at all. I had talked to people who had done those procedures themselves and saw that was being done on children as young as 11, 12, 13 years old. And I knew what kind of path these kids were being put down. And as it was my responsibility as an individual, but also my responsibility as a a surgeon and a doctor because if we can't speak up about something like this, then we have no professional left. There has to be some degree of accountability. Now what you guys are witnessing, and I've been talking about Isaiah 59 a lot. I've been talking about the process where lawlessness abounds where truth is rejected. This is perverted beyond recognition, but remember in verses 15, towards 16, it says, those who refuse evil, those who shun evil make themselves a prey. Remember that? This is a perfect example of that. Here Dr. Heim literally and courageously calls out the hospital where he works. Exactions very likely have saved who knows how many children from undergoing Life-altering treatments that were irreversible and he's being prosecute now now HIPAA is a statute That's pretty clear, you know, it's it's it's gonna be very obvious Based on the records going to have to produce whatever records dr. Hahn released to the journalist And they're going to have to show that the records that he released includes personal information of patients, meaning identifying information.
-
41:14
Dr. Heim insists what he released is simply saying that the law in the state of Texas says these procedures are illegal. These people in my hospital are doing this. I will be interested to know if the Texas State Attorney General is endeavoring to prosecute those physicians who violated Texas law. It would be interesting to know, and I'm not interested in retaliation, but I would be interested to know, and this is yet another indication to where even the law itself is being twisted. You read Daniel 7, you know, the scripture shows that this is one of the measures that will be employed to try to wear out the saints, you know, chain twisting law, do any things repeatedly. But I would remind you that we've been ordained for such a time as this. I am grateful that Dr. Haym Hyam, congratulations on his very own hospital and shared that these things are happening still because if he had not done so, who knows how long it would have continued. And I would remind you guys, it's always easier to go along to get along, always easier. He could have just ignored it and you know, there's nothing to see here. But because he had actual compassion, because he believes what he affirmed in the Hippocratic oath that his profession is to do no harm. In addition to having the state law outlawing these procedures, he felt duty bound to speak up. And I pray that our Lord would defend this man and protect him in this fight. And then just as Azariah, Hananiah, Missal were thrown into the fiery furnace and the fourth man who never can as his folks say, man, kind of looks like the son of God that Dr. Heim will see the fourth man in his fire.

Additionally, we're coming to the end of this summer's Supreme Court term and there are several issues that are still before the court, several very, very, very important issues. And I want to just put them on your radar because we're going to be following these cases. as this term comes to an end. First, you know, the presidential immunity case is before the US Supreme Court. And the decision here will impact one, the case that President Trump is involved in concerning the 2020 election, as well as the classified documents handling case after he left office. Based on oral arguments that took place back in April, it seems at a minimum the Supreme Court has prepared Grant from a president Trump, at least a partial victory there. But that is a case that that will its decision will be announced this summer. All right, then you have the first case concerning abortion since role was overturned. And this case has to deal with the Food and Drug Administration's decision to increase access to Mafrepasto. All right, many may recall and I reported on this that the FDA is easing access to it, even allowing these drugs to be mailed, changing the standard. And this is important because dating back really prior to Dobs 2021 that the majority of the number now was two thirds of all babies who are killed in the womb in our country now, they are killed as a result of the use of a mafepra stone along with the the chemical abortion cocktail. It also will address the scope of the FDA's regulatory authority considering that it seems that the adjustment was simply made once again not a scientific decision but to accommodate the Biden administration's political, political agenda.

All right. That's just one of the issues. Another one that this is a big one. All right. All of these that I mentioned were big are big. The court is considering a case that is going to address the 40-year-old doctrine of Chevron deference. Chevron is a case about 40 years old that simply says rulemaking done by federal agencies is presumed constitutional. Now, I'm going to take a few steps back. This is why much of the congressional statutes that have passed, even Congress isn't passing very many statues. And the few that they are passing, they're not articulating the full scope of the law. leaving spaces blank so to speak in allowing executive agencies. This is that Leviathan state the bureaucracy to fill in those blanks. Many of you may recall when Obamacare was passed, really it was kind of a bare bones legislation, but the Department of Health and Human Services, Health and Human Services filled in the blanks. And so this is why HHS was sued over and over and over again. Well, this case is challenging whether or not Chevron deference should remain president or whether or not not a CB overturned. I and I am a passionate advocate for the overturning of Chevron deference because there is nothing in the Constitution that says because an executive agency interprets rules in a certain way that they are presumptively constitutional. The previous law, sorry, not law, the previous ruling stood for the proposition that well, Congress had the authority to make the law, but they've advocated that position and yielded that to these executive agencies. So we are going to presume that these agencies actions are constitutional. is simply wrong and Chevron needs to be overturned. There is a case addressing Chevron. We're waiting for its decision to be announced during this summer term. So those are just a few of the cases. There are several more, but those are some of the ones that I'm following in particular and that I'm going to bring that information to you because I want you to be worshipful warriors who remain informed, who remain informed and that you're able to navigate these issues from a position of knowledge.

Now, the last few moments, I just want to pray for our country. I'm going to be doing this a lot more lately. Lord, I lift up our nation to you at this moment. Father, we have millions of believers all over our country. Father, I ask that you would cause us to have clarity concerning you appointing us for this time, for this season, Lord, that we would serve you and we would invest ourselves in our nation at this time for your glory with Jesus over everything. What I ask that you would strengthen your remnant Father, strengthen us, fortify us against wearyness Lord and enable us by your grace to be faithful in the time that you have planted us in. What I pray that you would give us a boldness Lord that we would live according to your word and we will proclaim your word without flinching and I pray that your love would abound in us and through us and that we may be servants or found faithful. In Jesus' name, amen. The views and opinions expressed in this broadcast may not necessarily reflect those of the American Family Association or American Family Radio.
