One Body
September 13, 2019
00:00:59

For just as the body is one and has many members and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For the body does not consist of one member but of many 1 Corinthians 12:12, 14 (ESV).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

Look briefly at one of your fingers. You’ve just witnessed one of the greatest displays of God’s creative intent there is. No other person in all the world, even an identical twin, shares your fingerprint.

God specifically designed each of us to be unique. That means we shouldn’t try to carbon copy anyone else in the Christian faith.

If God made you an arm in His body or a kneecap, praise be to our glorious God for drawing us to become a part of His body.

How freeing it is to realize that we were never meant to copy anyone – but Jesus.

Rewarded Confidence
September 12, 2019

“Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward” Hebrews 10:35 (ESV).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

Sometimes there’s a delay between crying out to God in prayer and seeing those prayers answered.

It is imperative for us in those times that we don’t waver in our confidence in our God.

The next verse goes on to say, “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.” Hebrews 10:36 (ESV).

You see, the delay between supplication and delivered answer is one of the ways God develops endurance in us.

He desires that the roots of our faith grow down deep, that we become trees planted by rivers of living water … steadfast, immovable, always abounding in His work. In this we grow beyond superficial Christianity.

What about John?
September 11, 2019

Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

At the climax of the account when Jesus restored Peter’s personal relationship with him, and Peter’s call to ministry, He saw John following them.

Jesus had just predicted that Peter would give his life for the Gospel, when Peter said, “What about John, LORD?”

Jesus responded, “What does he have to do with your calling? You follow me.”

With those words, Jesus hit a consistent flaw of the human condition.  We derive value and self-worth by comparing ourselves to other people.

Your ups, your downs, your failures, your victories were never meant to be compared to other people.

We have been called to serve an audience of One. The only approval you need is His.

Mercy and Truth
September 10, 2019
00:00:59

“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” Proverbs 16:6 (KJV).

My name is Abraham Hamilton III and this is the Hamilton Minute.

We live in a day when churches are filled with people ready to hear and receive God’s mercy. Unfortunately, however, it is often accompanied by a de-emphasis or concealment of the truth of God’s Word.

Paul, the salvation-by-grace-through-faith Apostle, was asked if salvation is solely a product of grace what benefit then does the law provide. Paul responded, “Without the law, I wouldn’t have known God’s righteous standard and how far away from it I was.”

Any presentation of God’s mercy absent of God’s truth is no Gospel at all.

Iniquity is purged by mercy and truth.

The Life Giver

“I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.” Psalm 139:14 (NASB).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

A generation has been taught they descend from animals, that there is no God.

They’ve been taught they are nothing more than a cosmic accident, they have no purpose and life has no meaning.

Life’s meaninglessness has been punctuated for them by the 60 million children who’ve been slaughtered in the womb… and counting.

But society is shocked when they act out exactly as they’ve been taught… like animals with no conscience.

Respect for human life begins with respect for the Life-Giver.

America needs repentance!

“Professing to be wise, they became fools.” Romans 1:22 (NASB).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

In an interview with The Hill TV, Bernie Sanders offered an astounding compliment to China and its economy in the midst of political turmoil surrounding the crackdown on political dissidents in Hong Kong.

He said,

… in fairness to China and its leadership, if I'm not mistaken, they have made more progress in addressing extreme poverty than any country in the history of civilization.

This man wants to be President of the United States.

The Chinese Communists have wrongfully imprisoned and tortured millions, and they have murdered over 65 million of their own people, but when you’re dead, you’re poverty’s solved, right Bernie?

Apple has formally apologized to Siri users this week after revelations emerged that the company paid contractors to listen to and transcribe anonymized audio collected through its Siri function.

There have been countless instances of recordings featuring private discussions between doctors and patients, business deals, drug deals, intimate physical encounters and so on. These recordings are accompanied by user data showing location, contact details, and app data.

In short, ladies and gentleman, your devices are spying on you.

Amazon Fires

“The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it.” Psalm 24:1 (ESV).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

Despite what the talking snake media says, the Amazon jungle is not on fire.

The fires have been set by farmers who are burning their fields to prepare them for the next growing season. The land they are burning has been cleared for years. They’re using the fires to control weeds, insects, and pests, and enrich the soil, something farmers and ranchers have been doing for hundreds of years.

If the talking snake media doesn’t like being called “fake news” here’s an idea: stop spreading fake news!

The fires aren’t a climate story. It’s normal Brazilian agriculture.

Gelertner Disavowal

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Psalm 19:1 (ESV).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

David Gelertner is an internationally known computer scientist from Yale whom the New York Times previously described as a “rock star.”

Well, he’s just come out disavowing Darwinian Evolution.

Gelertner wrote:

The exceptional intricacy of living things, and their elaborate mechanisms for fitting precisely into their natural surroundings seemed to cry out for an intelligent designer long before molecular biology and biochemistry… An intelligent designer might seem more necessary than ever now that we understand so much cellular biology, and the impossibly long odds facing any attempt to design proteins by chance.

The evidence pointed Gelertner to intelligence and design.

“Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.” Psalm 115:1 (NASB).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

During a recent press conference Dabo Swinney, head coach of the number 1 ranked Clemson Tigers and defending NCAA Division 1 national champions, revealed his not-so-secret sauce.

He said, "I know what my purpose as a man is. That's to glorify God, be a great husband and father and use the game of football to equip young people for life."

It’s refreshing to hear such godly clarity coming in a context that we don’t see too often.

This is how Clemson was built into a football powerhouse.

Doers of the Word
August 29, 2019

But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.  James 1:22.

My name is Abraham Hamilton III, and this is the Hamilton Minute.

This Scripture underscores the harrowing reality that permeates the life of many who profess to be Christians. The blessing of being a Christ follower comes not only from hearing God’s Word, but obeying it.

James continues, “for if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.  For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.  But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and perseveres, being not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing."

Rejected Fruitfulness

“"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it.”  Genesis 1:28 (ESV).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

According to the most recent reports provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), researchers looked at fertility rates for women of all age groups and ethnicities and found the nationwide rate was 16% lower than what is needed for a population to replace itself.

There has been much discussion about the demographic winter in various European countries.  Well, that demographic winter has reached the United States.

The first command God gave mankind in scripture was “be fruitful.”  But, man has the penchant to fancy his own ways over God’s.

Rejecting God’s ways always carries severe consequences.

New details from the autopsy reveal that Jeffrey Epstein sustained multiple breaks in his neck, including his hyoid bone.

Jonathan Arden, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, said,

A hyoid can be broken in many circumstances, but it is more commonly associated with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging. If the hyoid bone is broken, that would generally raise questions about strangulation, but it is not definitive.

To date, the NY medical examiner has not concluded a cause of death in this case.

And it gets weirder day by day.

After a raid resulted in nearly 700 illegal aliens being detained at food processing plants in the Jackson, MS area, Koch Foods held a job fair at two of their chicken processing plants to fill the jobs previously held by illegal aliens.

Numerous people attended the job fair, many of whom had prior chicken processing experience and some were hired on the spot.

Chamber of Commerce type Republicans have long said Americans won’t do this type of hard work, but that was a flat lie.

Companies that hire illegal aliens must be held accountable.

A routine attempt to execute a search warrant in a narcotics investigation  in Philadelphia became an 8 hour standoff, with exchanged gunfire between police officers and the suspect, where 6 officers were shot and two others held hostage for 5 hours.

As the live shooter situation continued, Kamala Harris was interviewed on CNN where she trotted out her same old gun-grabbing ideas as a solution without knowing any facts about the situation.

So a six-time felon will all of a sudden abide by federal gun laws?

Kamala please!?!?!?!?!

In response to moves by the Chinese government to encroach upon their freedoms, Hong Kong residents have taken to the streets in protest.

The talking snake media, however, refuses to report, the United States of America and our flag have become a symbol of resistance against communist China.

Hong Kong sees itself standing against tyrannical China just as the U.S. stood against tyrannical England.

In a recent demonstration several Hong Kong protesters belted out our National Anthem in English near a replica of our Statue of Liberty.

Our flag has inspired Hong Kong’s fight for freedom.

Scott Presler, a conservative activist, organized 170 volunteers to pick up 12 tons of trash in West Baltimore.

The local paper slammed him for it.  The Baltimore Sun editorial board wrote,

Whatever he says his motives were, Mr. Presler’s presence in Baltimore reinforces the tired image of our failing urban cores. That the poor people in this dilapidated city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods and all the public officials around them have failed as well.

We’ve reached a sad state when voluntary expressions of neighborly kindness are viewed through the suspicious lens of partisanship.

Constitutional Allergy

“Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far away.” Isaiah 59:14(a).

My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

Judicial Watch has filed a federal lawsuit against California to overturn its newly enacted law requiring President release his tax returns in order for his name to appear on the ballot for the 2020 primary election in the state.

The law is patently unconstitutional because it adds an additional qualification for the presidency that is not included in the Article 2, Section 1 requirements provided in the Constitution.

Regressive former governor Jerry Brown vetoed a similar law last year expressly because he knew it was unconstitutional.

California’s leaders suffer from a chronic case of Trump Derangement Syndrome with symptoms of constitutional allergy.

CNN fact checked the assertion that expanding background checks would have prevented the shootings in Ohio and Texas.

CNN admitted,

There is no indication that the shooting in Dayton, Ohio, would have been prevented by proposed universal background checks or legislation to bolster the federal background check system. The alleged El Paso shooter purchased his firearm legally and there is no evidence that he had a criminal history that a background check would've caught.

The National Institute for Justice study concluded Bill Clinton’s 1994 so-called “assault weapons ban” did not reduce firearms related violence.

The gun grabbers’ goal is total control.

In one day campaigning in Iowa Joe Biden informed the world he chooses his “truth” over facts and concluded the day saying, “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.”

In Biden world poverty is connected to pigment.

This same Biden said “you cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

As well as [Barack Obama is] “the first sort of main stream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy.”

Was it a gaffe or a heart condition revealed?
