>> Abraham Hamilton III: And now the Hamilton Corner.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here, joined by the Corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby Rosa. And in the screening room, produce extraordinaire. Often imitated, never duplicated. It's the real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen, and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making you a transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming his view to guide, to govern and to guard your view, taking full advantage of the opportunity and opportunities that God places before you and before myself, to be about his business. You know, we don't, we don't want to allow ourselves to be, lulled or manipulated, away from what should be primary. But as we are engaging in what is and should be primary, we trust the Lord with the results. And we're going to get into it. We aired the show concerning Alexander Fraser Tytler's cycle, ah of nations yesterday intentionally, which as a result of historical observations, surely, Alexander, Fraser Tytler's observations were correct. But there's one thing we cannot afford to exclude from our calculus and considerations, and that is divine providence, the sovereign will of God. And we have to be mindful of the fact that if God did not want us here at this time, we would not be here. So how then shall we live? You know, kind of on a Francis Schaeffer communication. How then are we to live? We must take full advantage of the time that we have before us and utilize that time, to glorify our Lord. So as you're making your transition, my encouragement to you and prayer for you has been and will continue to be that you settle the matter in your heart. That with every breath that the Lord gives you, that you will seek to utilize, that breath and the time that he Gives you, to put the light on the lampstand and to be about our father's business. And we have to refuse to allow, our homes to continually be. To continually be encroached upon and trodded upon. You know, I, mentioned this with regard to the meta settlement from the trial in the West Coast. there are no amount of parental safety features that'll be put in on social media that will substitute for a parent being vigilant and diligent with our own children. You know, there's no amount of, parental safety features that's gonna keep, a child from being six years old and scrolling six to eight hours a day on social media without a parent. You know, I'm saying what I'm saying. So we must, man, we must. We must take full advantage of that time. And that is not the exclusive context. Of course not. But the reality is everybody in our, country has come from a family, you know. Yeah, I see that, pookie. I saw that. You know, I'm going to get into it. You know, we seem to be. There are really two ways that Islam has progressed over history. It's by conquest or surrender. I'm going to show you. I'm not going to just tell you. I'm just going. I'm going to show you. On the one hand, the second largest city in England, Birmingham, England. the city council filed for an injunction to keep Britons from putting up St. George's flag with the Red Cross in the middle or the UK flag to try to keep down public uproars. And then at the exact same time in Birmingham, they raised the Pakistani flag above city hall in Birmingham. Same city, same city, we have fight the patriarchy. NewSong York Governor Kathi Hochul declared herself the feminist governor. She fights the patriarchy, unless she's got to speak to Muslims in NewSong York, in which case she will put on the hijab. You know, and they people saying that, well, the Republicans are trying to reinstate, the Handmaid's Tale. You know, it's like, I don't see. I don't see anybody in the Republicans got people on hijabs. Things are carrying on. And then now you got, you know, California's governor, you know, leading the charge to recognize Islamic holidays cannot make this stuff up to the word of God. We go, I want to go to Ezra chapter nine. I'm going to focus on verses three and four in Ezra, chapter nine. I'm going to explain a bit of the context, but before that, I'm explaining A bit of where this came from. And as we gathered to worship the Lord this past Sunday, and my brother Will Addison delivered the sermon, and he was talking about, sin's impact on a nation and how the Scripture records in numerous instances, the Lord describing sin as having defiled a nation. And he was talking about that. And then he was talking about how, a people and a nation can turn the tide. And one of the portions of Scripture he pointed out was in Ezra chapter nine, to where Ezra provides a, profound, prayer of intercession. And the significance of it is borne out when you consider that Ezra's book is written about 458 B.C. so Ezra, returns to Judah 13 years prior to Nehemiah. And Ezra was primarily, engaged in the reconstruction of the temple and teaching the exiled Jews who are returning, who have returned to Judah, the ways of Yahweh, you know, and he institutes teaching priests and things of that nature. And then he comes to the point to where, in spite of the fact that they are exiles returning to Judah, who had been over 70 years, exiled from Judah or succumbed to, domination by the Babylonians, the Medes, the Medo Persians. The Persians then finally returned back to. To Judah. But upon return, Ezra discovered that the nation of Israel, the Israelites, the Jews, including the priests and the Levites, continued in the same types of sins that led to their exile in the first place. And Ezra was overwhelmed and grieved by this sin. And I'm going to point out, in verse three is where we're going to pick up here, because this is when Ezra learns about the priests and Levites participating in the sinfulness along with the other exiles. And verse three says, and this is Ezra writing, when I heard about this matter, I, Ezra, tore my garment and my robe and pulled some of the hair from my head and my beard and sat down appalled. Then everyone who trembled at the words of. Who trembled at the words of the God of Israel on account of the unfaithfulness of the exiles gathered to me. And I sat appalled until the evening offering. Now, one of the things that struck me from this and Will, mentioned this Sunday too, he said, man, God convicted him as to whether or not he was appalled at the sinfulness of our nation or aggrieved deeply, grieved about it. And similarly, the Lord challenged me in the same fashion, because when you see Ezra's prayer, and I encourage you to go and read the rest of the chapter nine, though Ezra was not involved at all in the sins that are listed. he nevertheless cried out to the Lord and interceded for, the Jewish people, and he identified with them in his intercession. And when you think about, you know, the, overwhelming sinfulness in our country, man, it's easy to become desensitized to it. I'll never forget. And this happened to me. I'll never forget, as I was, trying cases in criminal court and the felony courts in Texas and Houston, and I'm looking at the gross underbelly of man's sinfulness every day. I handle major felony offenses. So I'm looking at armed robberies, I'm looking at sexual assaults of children. I'm looking at homicide after homicide after homicide, rapes, all of these things. Day in, day in, day in. I'm looking at, you know, people who others would describe as pillars in the community, and I'm seeing the evidence that they're committing heinous crimes. And I. I could feel myself becoming jaded towards humanity. And I. I had to go take a walk, man. I'm just walking and praying in downtown Houston because I can sense myself becoming jaded to it. And, man. And the Lord impresses upon me. Say, Abe, you feel this way. You're seeing only a glimpse of the sinfulness of mankind. You're looking at the crimes that are committed to in Harris County, Texas, and you are assigned to one of the courts. Can you imagine being aware of the sinfulness far beyond that one county? And, oh, man, it gave me a sense. Of, you know, the scripture. One of the ways that God is describing the scripture is El Roy, the God who sees, right, that the Lord sees all of this, all of this, and he nevertheless remains gracious towards his people. I am presenting this to you today during this program to invite you to consider whether or not you've been desensitized. You know, babies have been slaughtered in our country since 1973. You think that has an impact upon people who might, you know, I don't know, dress up in pink outside of a courtroom in Massachusetts? You know, the grotesque hypersexualization in our society, you think that is, estranged from the pandemic of pornography consumption in our country because we live in a pornography society? But what I'm driving towards is whether or not you and I, as God's people, are we appalled at the sinfulness of our own nation? Are we grieved, or are we just enraged at what they're doing over there? Are we just, these people are destroying our country? Or have we become desensitized to the root of these things. And my simple encouragement is to resist that inclination to be desensitized. Resist that inclination that would leave you, not appalled. Because when that desensitization sets in and it causes us to scramble for solutions everywhere except the place and more specifically in the one who rules and reigns in the affairs of men, that's where we will find ourselves. Nipping and tucking around the periphery, you know, trying to address weeds by clipping them at the top instead of uprooting them. We cannot afford as God's people to not be appalled. What happens in our country, and frankly that's one of Satan's objectives, is to overwhelm the people of God, with the, robust sinfulness to where we no longer, have the type of Holy Spirit induced alarm concerning it. And God breathed compassion that would cause us to engage with the only true answer. There are other things that must be done. You know, I was talking to my children about this. That it is because of man's sinfulness that we must have government. We have to realize God is the one who instituted government. But we also can't forget what government's objection, not objection, obligation is. And that is to punish and restrain evil and to reward what is righteous. Well, what happens when a society becomes collectively, unable to discern what is righteous and what is evil? Then you end up with potent forces operating, as Isaiah 5:20 prophesied. Good being called evil and evil being called good. This portion of Scripture really, really, really struck me. And I pray that the Lord will do what he does best, which is to minister his word to his people. but it struck me that Ezra himself was appalled at the grotesque sinfulness of his fellow countrymen. And he brought that before the Lord. We must never get to the place where we fail to recognize that the foundational issue that we have before us is the sinfulness that is prevalent in our nation. And repentance, the proclamation of the gospel and disciples being made. That is the answer.

>> Jeff Chamblee: A, discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.

>> Joseph Parker: How tragic it is for believers that don't get around to reading the Bible. In other words, they don't get around to spending time with Jesus, listening to his counsel, his wisdom, his grace, allowing him to touch their lives with his word. Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 12.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: For the word of God is living

>> Joseph Parker: and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. In Ephesians 6 verses 17 to 18 and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. A kingdom warrior is a disciple of Christ who skillfully puts the word of God, which is the sword of the Spirit, to work every day.

>> Jeff Chamblee: Do you ever feel like you're not enough? Like everyone has it together except you? Here's the thing. Insecurity lies. It whispers. You're unloved, you're alone. And the whisper feels awfully loud, doesn't it? Philippians 4, 8 says, Whatsoever things are true. Think on these things. Your thinking shapes your emotions, and your emotions shape your actions. So when insecurity says, you're alone, truth says, I am with you always. Don't let the lies just sit there. Replace them. You may not feel brave today, but the resurrection proves Jesus defeated the biggest fear of all, death. If he conquered that, he can handle whatever is making you anxious right now. Next time insecurity shows up with a megaphone, remind it of the empty tomb.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here.

>> Jeff Chamblee: Well,

>> Abraham Hamilton III: in this case, where this woman strangled her three children to death in succession, you consider it takes about six minutes, according to the testimony in the trial, to strangle each of the children, to relocate them as she did. The issue is not whether or not she murdered her children. That's not even in question. The issue the jury's endeavoring to decide is whether or not she should be held criminally accountable and responsible for doing what she admittedly did. Well, the jury in this case is comprised of nine women and three men. it's interesting to know that, yesterday, two of the women came to court wearing pink. I don't want to read into it any further than that, but were they aware that that was the color that the protesters were wearing outside? I'm not sure. I don't know. I can't speak for them. deliberations in this case began last Thursday after what, four or five weeks of testimony. And today, today, At about 10:00am Eastern Time, the jurors send a note to the judge, the presiding judge, saying that they cannot reach a unanimous verdict in this case. The judge instructed them to continue deliberating. And at about 3:30pm the jury sends out another 3:30pm Eastern time, the jury sends out another note requesting can they leave because they are unable to come to a unanimous decision. So the judge obliged and deliberations are expected to continue tomorrow morning at 9am Eastern time. Now I will tell you this is not empirical scientific data, but in every criminal case that I've tried and in all of the criminal trials that I have witnessed, protracted deliberations very rarely benefit the prosecution. Very rarely. I won't say never because I cannot say never. and you can never say for a fact you know exactly what the jury's doing prior to them reaching their verdict. But I have to tell you, I am concerned that it has taken this long. As I've said from the very beginning of this case, that the sad reality is that the considerations of any mitigating circumstances are circumstances that would and should be assessed in terms of what penalty is appropriate, but that shouldn't change whether or not she's should be held criminally responsible for her intentional acts. And this is gravely concerning to me. M. It really, really, really is. And it's related to what I was talking about in the first segment. Because when you have my body, my choice, your way, for the last 40 some odd years, 40 plus years since 1973, you're talking about 60 plus years. And as not even before, even before, Planned Parenthood versus Casey and Roe versus Wade were overturned, our nation had already turned the corner to where most of the children who were murdered in their moms wombs were murdered via chemical abortions through the abortion drugs. And you have. I gotta tell you man, it's heartbreaking to see the scores of women on these social media platforms and they're cracking jokes about killing their own children. They're making videos, trying to get likes and follows and subscriptions. But guys, this is heinous, man. This is heinous. This is heinous. And obviously not, not trying to case. I'm not in a courtroom in Massachusetts. But in my experience these types of delays are not necessarily beneficial to a pro, to a prosecutorial. Favorable. Prosecutorially favorable verdict. You don't know, I don't know what the makeup is. I don't know if it's 11 jurors versus one. I don't know if it's a six, six split. I don't know if you know if it's seven, five. I don't. You don't know any of that information. But I wanted to tell you that in my experience, this type of delay, this type, when I mean delay, that's not the right word. That's not like they're not trying to resolve, not trying to come to a verdict. I'm saying the inability to arrive at unanimous verdict this long from last Thursday, today is Tuesday having a full day of deliberations to where they asked to go home tonight. That gives an indication that there is quite a bit of disagreement. And whatever the verdict is, it has to be unanimous. So if there is an acquittal, it has to be unanimous. If it's an acquittal, not guilty by reason of insanity, it has to be unanimous. If it's conviction, of the instance charge, it has instant charge, it has to be unanimous. If it's conviction of a lesser and included offense, it has to be unanimous. And with the various options presented before the jury, they have to date said they are unable to arrive at a unanimous verdict. What does this say about our society? And I said it before, it's amazing. You have people who are rallying to support this woman who murdered her children. I've seen no rallies to support the children. And you've seen, we've seen women with literal, literally zero evidence whatsoever to accuse the husband and father of murdering the children with no evidence. This is, you know, if you, if you have ever been to Washington D.C. and you go to the Jefferson Memorial, you can see he, a part of one of his famous writings. He said that, he shudders to think when he thinks about God being just, you know, oh, man, this is not a good indication for where we are in our society, man. There has been, I, know people get mad, but whatever, man. Feminism has done a job on our country and it's affected men and women, you know, like, you might think it's too far afield, but it's feminism that contributed to men being willing to be even dressed up to look like women to where being a genuinely, authentically masculine dude, it's not cool anymore. They had the whole screed about toxicity and all that kind of stuff,

>> Joseph Parker: man.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. Our country, man, we're in great need. We're in great need. We're in great need. Then you have this horrible tragedy, that began in parts of China that affected Nepal. And I wanted to get my facts straight on this before I talked about it publicly. but last Wednesday, and disaster struck in remote regions of Nepal and in China. And around 8:37am local time on Wednesday, a seismic sent seismic sensors registered a 4.4 magnitude earthquake in the remote mountains of Nepal. But here's the thing. There was no earthquake. There was no earthquake. scientists soon learned thereafter that vast quantities of ice and debris had broken off from a glacier falling some 4,000ft into the ravine below. The U.S. geological Survey registered that event as a 5.2 magnitude landslide. The ice and debris then hurtled down the valley, moving, I mean at frightening speed, burying or sweeping away practically everything in its path. And the path remained narrow due to the rugged terrain in the, in the area. And scientists at ah, the Kathmandu based International center for Integrated Mountain Development later said that the water level of the Trishuli river rose 27ft in half of an hour, 27ft within 30 minutes. And the tidal wave carried bodies as far as 150 miles away. Many of you have seen videos of this. man, it's heartbreaking. Here's a brief report and I have some data, some numbers that are updated even since this video was provided. But listen to and watch clip ah, number four. Clip four. Go Janelle.

>> Speaker E: Good morning. It really has just into the bull's deaths new numbers. The death toll in Nepal and China has now topped 1000. And this morning rescuers are trying to reach some of the hardest hit areas, including hundreds of workers feared trapped underground. In Nepal alone, more than 3,900 people are still missing. That includes about 900 hydro power workers with roughly 500 believed to be trapped inside tunnels. Now the flooding wiped out roads and bridges so they're using helicopters now, being used to reach stranded communities. More than 11,000 people have been rescued, but crews are still struggling to reach some of those most remote areas.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: The most recent reports I got before coming on the air live this evening is that the death toll is now eclipsed. 1,000 people confirmed dead. Another, more than 5,000 people are still missing. and that is all from the Nepalese side, the Nepal side of the border. Chinese authorities have confirmed, I mean can you trust the Chinese authorities? But the Chinese Authorities have confirmed 16 people, 16 Chinese citizens dead and another 550 missing. but one thing that I don't know if many people realize that there were 90Americans, who are among those who are still missing, who are in the area. and I was trying to get information, get facts about different things. I saw some reports circulating about m. Well, China had this hydroelectric project they were building. there's some disputes about that, whether or not that's actually accurate. but here's some things that I found as I did a bit of research on this. you had experts who had warned of this Type of disaster for years. So much so that this exact same river flooded just last year at this exact same time in 2025. The same river flooded in 2025. And after the 2025 flood, the Nepalese government was implored to implement a new sirens and alarm system to notify people in the region because the flooding was something they'd been warned of, but they didn't do. So, so this, this, as I mentioned, 27ft of water that swells in less than 30 minutes. Make sure I express this properly. Caught, all of these people off guard. Yeah, 27ft rising in less than 30 minutes. I, I'm, I'm sharing this, man, and this one in particular, to encourage you to pray for these families, man. the things that are happening domestically, when you see, it's just, man, it's so egregious. You see people at home, they have a computer and a cell phone, and now they become, you know, psychologists and psychiatrists because they read, you know, a Google Doc, you know, just like, man, come on, stop the, stop the presses, you guys. You are not mental health professionals. But we have a society, man, that has been, that has, you want to talk about discipleship? That has cultivated and has a hostility towards children. Years ago, I played the audio for you of Chelsea Clinton, you know, celebrating the billions of dollars that have been generated, specifically because women have been able to kill their own children. And to say, yes, look at all of the money we've been able to generate and cultivating this, this hostility and this animosity towards children. And when you consider, the people who would advocate for policies that will allow this, like in Massachusetts, just past the Massachusetts. Oh, Abraham. Nobody wants to have unfettered, full, 40 week gestational access to killed children as they're developing. Well, have you just seen the law Massachusetts just passed? I'm not trying to be, sensationalist. I'm not trying to be to trifle in hyperbole. Guys, this is real. And when we've had a society that has been saying for years and years and years that children are an impediment to the American dream, children are a hindrance to your future children. Children will keep you from fulfilling your dream. Children are the enemy. Children are hostility. Children are the things. And you have these women saying, hey, I could be Lindsay Clancy, Really, I understand that parenting is challenging. I know it very well. But to take something as beautiful and as natural and as God designed as parenting, parenthood, and specifically motherhood, and to twist that into something that is perceived as an impediment to a good life. We have to understand man that that is a doctrine of demons.

>> Jeff Chamblee: 1:00pm, central weekdays on AFR.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: The Hamilton quarter podcast and one minute commentaries are available at afr.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. So I alluded to this last week, just last week, I, alluded to this earlier in the show. Just last week, the Birmingham, England City Council, Birmingham is the second largest city in England. The Birmingham City Council, of its own initiative, sought an injunction from the High Court there to prohibit, and this is the word they use to prohibit the flying of, flags from lamp posts. Because in their words, there are activists in Britain who are going around doing this dastardly thing. Y' all want to know what the dastardly thing is? That they were flying what is commonly known as the English flag or St. George's flag from like lamp posts and streetlights, and things of that nature all around Birmingham. They also were putting up and in case you don't know, you can do a quick search. I didn't mean to ask you to do this, Jeff, but if you can, would you look up and get a screenshot for the people watching? the St. George's flag, English flag, is a white background, has a red cross in the middle. That's it. That's it. The other flag that was being put up around Birmingham, England, did I say it was an English, Did I say that already? Is the UK flag, You know, the United Kingdomnomics Union Jack flag. You know, when you think about the UK's flag, would you get that one Too, Jeff. The Union Jack flag. And whenever you got them, just go ahead and put them up on the screen. And after. After you put them on the screen, I'm going to play the clip that I have for the people. But I want y' all to think about this. It is the Birmingham, England City Council itself that filed for an injunction to prohibit St George's flag and the Union Jack flag, the UK flag, from being flown anywhere in Birmingham unless they've received private authorization. I mean, prior authorization. Okay, I know I asked you just. Now, we don't have it. You know you got them. Oh, yeah. Okay. But, yeah, yeah. this is why I'm showing these videos. Because if I didn't show the videos, y' all would think I'm making this up. But shortly before the Birmingham City Council sought a legal injunction to prohibit what's commonly known as the English flag or the UK's Union Jack flag from being flown, in public. Y' all want to know what the Birmingham City Council did? They voted to raise the Pakistani flag above the Birmingham City Council.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Cole?

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Sure did. You stupid. Now, just so everybody can know what I'm talking about, would you Please show the St. George's flag, St. George's flags, St. George's cross, on the screen for the people who are watching, those who are listening to the show. On the left, you have St. George's flag, white background, red cross in the middle, commonly described as the English flag. On the right hand of the screen, you have the Union Jack flag, which is the flag that is meant to reflect the United Kingdomnomics, which includes Wales, and is the UK flag. The Birmingham City Council itself filed for an injunction to keep these flags from being flown because, they said the unauthorized flying of these flags quotes, quote, puts public safety at risk. In, quote. So there'll be, like, highways, the flags on the side of the highways, and things. It puts. It puts public safety at risk. Yeah, guys, I am not good. You can go look it up for yourself. We. We need to keep these flags from being flown in Birmingham. You know, that's how they say Birmingham, because it puts public safety at risk. Now, check this out. This is a couple of days ago. Y' all listen to and watch clip number three, in which you will see the Pakistani flag brought high above the Birmingham City Council building as they're celebrating Pakistan Independence Day. Cannot make this stuff up. Clip number three. Go.

>> Speaker F: Like. They remind us of the strength and the diversity and the unity in raising this flag. We recognize the rich culture and heritage and tradition and contribution of the Pakistani Community so much is the great city of Birmingham. Everyone making this special day. Can I congratulate everybody? And I'd like to welcome the council General of Pakistan, Paul, in the one place. Honorable Lord Mayor, members of the Pakistani community here, on behalf of the constit of Pakistan in Birmingham, I would like to thank the, Honorable Lord Mayor for, for this opportunity for the flag watching at the city hall in Birmingham today. Thank you. So, Sam.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Saint m. M in the background, guys, that's Birmingham City Hall. Am I the only one that notices the irony? The same place and the same people that are saying you can't fly St. George's flag or the Union Jack flag are also at the same time raising the Pakistani flag over city Hall. That makes sense to y'. All. So, so, so what is it? The Union Jack flag and the St. George's Cross? That's a threat to public safety. Which, which, which public is not feeling safe with the Union Jack flag being flown in Birmingham, England, but you can raise the Pakistani flag? What? People often ask me, why do you keep showing this stuff? I keep showing you these things, guys, because the people across the pond are just a little bit further from where we are now. Here we are today. It is September 1st. We are literally 10 days away from the date 25 years ago where Muslim terrorists got in planes and struck the World Trade Center. And where did this happen? Oh, yes, in NewSong York. Now who's the governor of. Yeah, that would be Kathi Hochul. 25 years after that, Kathi Hochul is attempting to appeal to certain, certain voters. But I want you to take note because it just so happens she participated m In a meeting in NewSong York with Muslim leaders. And what I want you to see is the, is the, the, the attire of choice Kathi Hochul decided to wear for this meeting. When you. When you ready, Jeff, Go ahead and put the picture up. Go ahead and put the picture up of, NewSong York's fight, the patriarchy Kathi Hochul. And what you're going to see. And I'm going to describe it for those who are listening to the audio only, because. There she is. There's NewSong York's Governor Kathi Hochul with, With donned in her hijab. Dawned in her hijab. I said earlier. Conquest or surrender? It seems that Birmingham has surrendered. Well, what say you, NewSong York? What say you, United States of America? This, this is, and I understand, you know, people saying, well, you know, maybe she's just trying to be, respectful. Okay, I have an idea. How about people who come to our country from other places, be respectful of our country. You think that's an idea? One of the things. Y' all come go with me for a second here. One of the things that we believe in our country is that our women are not property. Now, as a Christian man, I believe in. In modesty, sure. But also as a Christian man, I know the scripture says that a woman's hair is, is the glory of the woman. Why does respect display have to go one way? And you see, I just so happen to know that these types of displays are viewed by people who would want to. Contrary to what Abdullah Sayed might mention, but who would want Sharia law brought into the United States of America. They see that as a sign. Oh, yes, we are on our way. So why. Why couldn't those people respect America's values? And I'm saying this again, as you know, Gavinito Nussolini is trying to. Well, this already passed. The legislature is preparing to sign into law bill to recognize Islamic holy days. That's exactly, right, Angie. Angie says that's all a part of the demeaning of the female members of society. That's exactly right. What I'm saying, guys, is we can look at what's happening over the pond and say, man, isn't that terrible? It seems like England has been taken without. Without really much resistance. But you have some of the same things happening here. Thankfully, people are waking up. But waking up? To what end? You know, would we be hesitant to go to certain places to share the gospel out of fear of our physical safety here in America? I'm talking about. And I know what people would say, but I know what it's like to go and evangelize in the projects where it's guns and violence and drugs and all that kind of stuff. But a lot of the people I was going to evangelize with came from those same projects. But now we have reports of people attempting to go into places like Dearborn and others to evangelize, and they're literally facing stonings that local police don't go into certain areas. Once again, I'm not trying to be hyperbolic, but we need to be honest about what's going on. Abdullah, Sayed, nobody's trying to impose Sharia law on anybody else. Then why would the governor of NewSong York be compelled to wear a hijab? Hmm? Hey. Mutual respect. I respect you and you respect me. I know in your faith women wear hijabs. But here in the United States of America, we don't compel People to wear hijabs. It seems like that would be a simple conversation, right? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But thanks be to God that this is not the end of the conversation. And as Ezra sat, as he first was appalled, then he said he sat all night appalled. And he cried out to the Lord. And the Lord gave wisdom, insight, and revelation. And, guys, we have the same opportunity today, but it's incumbent upon all of us to step up and to be present where we are. What do I mean by being present? Being first and foremost invested in and executing our king's commission, Living locally, you know, making it or not. Not making it, but embracing it as a part of your mission to recognize, man, God's divine providence allows your neighbor to be across the street from you. Lord, why have you allowed my neighbor to be across the street from me? What would you have for me to be about for me to do? I don't want to be among the people that just observe and complain about the darkness. I want to be involved in putting the light on the lampstand. And the beautiful thing about the Lord, he said of himself, and I be lifted up. If I be lifted up, I would draw all men to myself. And I heard a brief clip, part of the commercial when Rick Greene was talking about. He said, man, we need to be not like the ten spies. We need to be like the two spies. Yeah, we know what's in the land, but we interpret the reality of the opportunity before us in light of the God who's ordained us for this moment. Let's be about our Father's business, and let's not miss our moment, because the arms of our Lord have not waxed short to where. Where he is unable to save in our day, but he has chosen to use his body as his hands and his feet. Let's be about our Father's business, Lord willing. We'll be back tomorrow.
