“For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” James 1:7-8 (NASB95).

The Apostle James introduces us to the notion of a double-minded man as one who doubts whether God can grant the wisdom necessary to successfully navigate and overcome trials.
The one who remains steadfast, unwavering in their confidence in God, in the face of adversity is able to rejoice in the midst of trials because of the faith produced by intimate communion with God and full persuasion of His unyielding goodness.
The unstable man is “double-minded” as to whether God remains trustworthy at all times and in all seasons.
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 (NASB95).

Jesus gets us, but do we get Him? Jesus is God. He left Heaven, came to Earth, lived among us—fully God and fully man; to show us the way, to tell the truth, to give his life for us on the cross, and conquer death by His resurrection. Tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He didn’t sin. And He loves us enough to pay the penalty for our sin. Don’t be fooled by those who say love means tolerance. No! Love means truth.
Yes, Jesus gets us. Through repentance and faith, we can get Him… eternally!
“The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 2:2-3 (NASB95).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
Just before his execution, Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy by the Spirit of God to seek out faithful men, who would be able to teach others, and pour into them all he’d received from the incarcerated Apostle. He then exhorted Timothy to anticipate times of hardship and to press forward with Jesus commission to make disciples nonetheless.
Jesus warned that hard times would come. We must press forward in obedience even while suffering hardship.
“For this reason a man shall leave his Father and Mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Matthew 19:5 (NASB95).

It’s often repeated that 50% of marriages end in divorce. However, that statistic is not based on hard data and it doesn’t apply at all to committed Christians who marry.
Over 70% of married, Bible-believing Christians, who are active in their local churches have never divorced.
Though the rate of divorce is still too high, it isn’t nearly as high as the world would have you believe.
Simply put, marriages comprised of a husband and wife who place their faith in Christ Jesus for salvation individually usually remain in tact and thrive.
“When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.” Mark 6:34 (NASB95).

The word we live in likes to emphasize emotions. Our government educational system is riddled with social-emotional learning. Our young people are being indoctrinated into the notion that feeling is synonymous with thinking. All of this undergirds an unbiblical understanding of compassion.
The world cultivates the notion of simply feeling our way through life. But biblical compassion is responsive and active. Jesus was moved with compassion. It compelled him to teach many things.
Biblical compassion moves us to action. Compassion teaches.
“Leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.” Matthew 5:24 (NASB95).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
Jesus focused authentic Christ-following to heart evaluation in addition to conduct assessment in the Sermon on the Mount. He also highlighted the reality that worshiping God includes our relationships with Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
He described a worshiper en route to make an offering unto the Lord who remembered that he had a frayed relationship with a Brother. Christ commanded him to render a whole offering by first being reconciled to the Brother. Then, continue in worship by making an offering.
Love for God is displayed in our relationships in His Body.
“In His own image He created them; male and female.” Excerpted from Genesis 1:27 (NASB95.

The United States Department of Agriculture informed Maine that it has frozen the state’s federal funding over Maine’s refusal to comply with President Trump’s executive order prohibiting men from participating in women’s sports.
Maine’s Governor, Janet Mills, has stated that her state will not comply with the President’s order.
In response, the USDA informed Maine,
Your defiance of federal law has cost your state, which is bound by Title IX… Today we are freezing federal funds… This is only the beginning, though you are free to end it at any time by protecting women and girls in compliance with federal law.

In addition to discovering 20 million dead people marked alive in the U.S. Social Security database, the DOGE department has also uncovered more over 5 million noncitizens have been given social security numbers since 2021.
Valor Equity CEO Antonio Gracias is leading the DOGE dive in to the Social Security Administration. He was tasked with searching for fraud within the agency and discovered “this by accident.”
He said,
This is not political. This is about the future of America… If I hadn’t seen this myself, I’m not sure I would have believed it.
Thankfully, this fraud was exposed.

One of the most tyrannical pieces of legislation in American history is being pushed in Colorado.
House Bill 25-1312 gives the state lawful authority to forcibly remove a child from the home if parents refuse to affirm the trans-insanity delusion. It categorizes parents who adhere to Truth as abusers that require state intervention.
Colorado businesses would also be required to comply with the state’s speech codes or else find themselves slapped with a lawsuit or dragged through the mud by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. Anyone remember Jack Philipps?
This isn’t about children. It’s about government supplanting God.

It has been a passionate desire for those of us who are advocates for America establishing a culture where life is sacred and celebrated to de-couple abortion giants from taxpayer money. It is unconscionable to think that tax dollars are supporting baby murderers as an industry.
Thankfully, the Trump administration has now notified Planned Parenthood affiliates of its plans to withhold Title X funds from them. This is a crucial step toward the United States of America becoming a nation where it is unthinkable for an innocent, unborn children to be murdered.
A new day has dawned in our nation.
“In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:6 (NASB95).

One of Satan’s oft-repeated strategies is to dislodge God’s people from His promises. The way that strategy is executed is to get us to focus on the current trial or problem to the exclusion of God’s character, nature, and historical record.
The key to overcoming that scheme is to acknowledge God in every circumstance. “Acknowledge Him” in Scripture comes from the Hebrew word yāḏa, which means to carry forward into every circumstance the full scope and weight of God’s character and nature. The same God who has delivered us from the clutches of eternal darkness leads and guides us now by His Spirit.

Due to recent events a question has arisen as to whether impeachment is an appropriate response to a judicial decision. In an op-ed for the Washington Times, AFA Action Senior Counsel Phillip Jauregui explained,
The first federal judge impeached and removed from office was Judge John Pickering in 1804 for ruling a case that defied the law. The articles [of impeachment] charge that Pickering ruled ‘said act of Congress not regarding, but with intent to evade the same’…
The generation that drafted and ratified the impeachment and removal provisions
knew them and understood them best.

The East Plano Islamic Center, or EPIC, is moving forward with plans to construct what many are describing as a “Sharia City” in the Dallas, TX Metroplex called “EPIC City.”
If constructed, EPIC City would be built on a 402-acre site which covers parts of Collin and Hunt counties. The plans also include over 1,000 homes, a mosque, a religious school, a community college, and sports facilities.
EPIC resident Islamic scholar Yasir Qadhi said the plan is to create a “Muslim neighborhood.”
In response to the project, TX Governor Gregg Abbott said, “Sharia law is not allowed in TX.”

DoorDash is partnering with Klarna — the buy now, pay later company — to offer customers the opportunity to finance their food and other purchases.
When customers check out, they’ll soon be able to choose one of several payment options including: “pay in full,” “pay in four equal interest free installments,” or “pay later” which allows customers to “defer payments to a more convenient time” with a bit of interest of course.
Folks, this is crazy! We’ve deteriorated to the place where people are going to put burgers on lay-a-way. Taco Tuesday will become Taco someday?

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration is moving to freeze tens of millions of dollars in federal family-planning grants to certain organizations, including Planned Parenthood, while it investigates whether these organizations are complying with federal law and the Executive Orders President Trump has signed to date.
The groups were scheduled to receive about $120 million in Title X funds this year. It is well documented that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, receives about 40% of its budget from American taxpayers.

There is a critical State Supreme Court election Tuesday, April 1st, in Wisconsin. The race pits Constitutionalist Brad Schimel against Regressive Susan Crawford.
Brad Schimel was the state’s Attorney General, appointed by Governor Scott Walker and he currently serves as a Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge. Susan Crawford was previously the attorney for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.
Their views and judicial philosophies are polar opposite of one another.
This race will determine the balance of power on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Wisconsin listeners, don’t forget to vote April 1st.
"A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.” Proverbs 1:5 (NASB95).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
As Solomon pronounced the entire purposed for the book of Proverbs in its first chapter he also noted that a wise man sets himself to hear, to learn, and to increase his knowledge as a result. That wise man, a man of understanding, also affirmatively seeks out wise counsel.
In short, the wise man knows that he doesn’t know it all. As a result, his course is set for continued accrual of wisdom. If you want to be wise, pursue sources of wisdom and learn from them. The greatest available wisdom source is God’s holy word.
“I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.” John 17:15 (NASB95)

In Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer recorded in John 17, He makes the observation that the world would hate His disciples. Yet, He follows that by praying not that His disciples would be removed from the world, but that we would be kept from the evil one.
As difficult as times have become, we Christ-followers must recognize that our God and King saved us and planted us in the world at this time intentionally. It would be an abdication of our assignment to adopt an escapist disposition. We’ve been ordained for this moment.
"Longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.” 2 Timothy 1:4 (NASB95)

Paul’s second epistle to Timothy was written near the very end of Paul’s life, while he was incarcerated awaiting an imminent, albeit uncertain execution under Nero.
He begins chapter one of this epistle describing how he prayed for Timothy night and day and how he longed to see him. This reveals a fiber and texture that undergirded their relationship. Paul and Timothy loved each other deeply.
This deep and abiding reciprocal love is necessary to effective disciple making. Knowledge isn’t enough to make a disciple. The love of Christ must abound.

President Trump’s EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, has announced the largest deregulation action in U.S. history. For years, Regressives have used “the environment” to impose all manner of insane shackles on the American energy and automobile manufacturing sectors. According to Administrator Zeldin,
This is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back the U.S. and more.
