"Salt [is] good: but if the salt has lost its savour, how will it be seasoned?” Luke 14:34 (NKJV)

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

Matt Walsh wrote a piece for the Daily Wire where he said, "The contemporary American Christian is the most open-minded person to have ever existed.  He’s so open minded you can hardly tell he’s Christian, or has a mind at all…

He has for a long time been open to the idea that marriage isn’t permanent and sex isn’t meant exclusively for marriage.  He’s basically open to whatever notions are popular…

He is open, and where he is not open, he is silent."

In Leaf

“And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.”  Mark 11:13 (ESV).

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

From a distance, the fig leaves gave Jesus the impression that there was fruit on the tree.  Upon closer inspection, the tree was fruitless.

Perfect church attendance and ministry activity cannot replace actual Christ-like fruit produced in our lives.

From a distance, it can appear as though we’re bearing fruit but what would we find with a closer look?

Are we content with fruitful appearance or do we yearn for the real thing?

Divine Advantage

“Then Elisha prayed and said, 'O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see…'”  Excerpt from 2 Kings 6:17 (ESV)

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

One morning, Elisha’s young servant went out first thing and saw the Syrian army surrounding Elisha’s home town. The servant was racked with fear and cried out to Elisha, “What will we do?” Elisha said, “Don’t be afraid.  There are more with us than are with them.”  Then Elisha prayed, "LORD, open this young man’s eyes.” The servant then saw mountain full of horses and chariots of fire!

As opposition mounts in our lives, fear not, the LORD - who is in us and with us - is greater than the hostility present in the world.

Pruning
February 06, 2020

“Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” John 15:2

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

No one likes to suffer difficult circumstances.  In this era of easy believe-ism it's often conveyed, “If life isn’t always smooth we’re doing something wrong.”

The Scripture teaches us, however, that our LORD often meets fruitful branches with additional pruning.  The pruning is not punishment.  It's actually to make us even more fruitful.

If you’re in a rough spot right now, take heart.  What may feel like the squeeze to end all squeezes could very well be the LORD’s pruning for additional fruitfulness.

When the LORD prunes us He does so for our good.

Mercy and Truth
February 05, 2020

“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.

Inalienable Rights
February 04, 2020
00:00:59

Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Psalm 119:89 (ESV)

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

The American republic was founded on the principle that rights are given to us by God, not man.  As a result, men nor government can take them away. That’s why our Declaration of Independence refers to our rights as inalienable rights.

Government’s role then is to protect the rights that God has given to us.

The first freedom listed in the bill of rights, which government is entrusted to protect, is religious liberty.  The founders did this because they know that free exercise of religion is the fulcrum for all liberty.

Wherever the flame of religious liberty is extinguished, all liberty is imperiled.

Step Down Faith

“Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, 'Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.' This is a desert place” Acts 8:26.

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

At the height of a Holy Spirit outpouring in Samaria, where the Gospel was being preached with great power and droves of people were converting to follow Christ, the LORD instructed Philip to leave Samaria and head south to Gaza.

Philip didn’t know a divine appointment awaited him.

Through his ministry to the Ethiopian Eunuch, the Gospel would spread to Africa.

He left the crowd. To serve one.

I call this step down faith. It's easy to step up for the attention and applause of the masses, but do we have step down faith?

AOC Control

“Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise.” Proverbs 17:28 (ESV).

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

In a harrowing display of economic illiteracy, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broached the subject of the evil billionaires.

She went on to say she didn’t want billionaires’ money “as much as we want your power.”  When people tell you who they are believe them.

Stop me if this sounds familiar… socialists want to take power from the people they seek to lead.

Throughout history we consistently see socialists wrest power from the people they want to control by any means necessary.

If we refuse to learn from history we’re doomed to repeat it.

Men-Hating

“For people will be lovers of self.” 2 Timothy 3:2(b) (CSB).

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

Vicky Spratt is a feminist writer for the women’s lifestyle site, Refinery 29. She gave voice to collective feminist angst in an emotional, several-thousand-word, essay bemoaning the men who refuse to pursue romantic relationships with so- called “woke” women.

She went on to spout the entire panoply of cultural marxist tropes, blaming men for everything from murder and racism on to the continued oppression of the entire female sex (to the extent the sex still exists of course).

She literarily conveyed her utter disdain for men, yet remains stunned that men don’t want a woman who hates men?

Go figure.

Shiff Reveals
January 29, 2020
00:00:59

“For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Matthew 12:34(b) (ESV).

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

During opening statements by the Impeachment managers from the House of Representatives of the floor of the Senate Chamber, Congressman Adam Schiff spoke long enough to reveal the true objective of the impeachment charade.

Schiff said,

The President’s misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won.

His comments once again confirm that the entire impeachment charade is an effort to create the only election results he and his regressive acolytes can trust… the ones when they win.

This sham is their train to 2020… it’s their only hope.

Abolish Now
January 28, 2020

“But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them.” Luke 18:16(a) (NASB).

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

Planned Parenthood’s annual report revealed the baby butchery admittedly slaughtered 345,672 innocent children in… fiscal year 2019.  Their report also showed they received $616.8 million from American tax payers in fiscal year 2019.

Both numbers are the highest single year totals since the bloody organization was founded over a century ago.

We cannot tolerate what God says is abominable. Regulating murder won’t cut it.  We must agree with God and demand that baby murder is abolished in our nation now!

March for Life

00:00:59

“When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb.” Luke 1:41 (a) (NASB).

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

President Trump is the first sitting president in U.S. history to speak live at the March for Life in Washington D.C.

In the 47 years of the march’s history, none of the Republican presidents then in office have seen fit to grace its stage. An obvious decision was made to maintain a degree of separation from the pro-lifers.

Perhaps now, feckless Republican politicians will have the courage to stand up for innocent children and recognize the pro-life position isn’t one to shrink away from… that is… if they believe what they campaign on.

Heaven's Preview

There were added that day about 3000 souls.

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

The day of Pentecost concluded with 3000 converts being added to the initial body of 120 believers.  Then that 3120 spent time together daily going to the temple and interacting in each other’s homes. They devoted themselves continually to the apostle’s teaching, fellowship, sharing meals together and praying together.

The 3120 that made up the early church came from Turkey, the middle east and Africa, and included Arabs and Romans.  In addition to the geographic and ethnic diversity, they also spoke different languages.  Yet they were made one family in Christ Jesus.

Scripture has the answer to the issues we face today.

Turn Aside to See
January 23, 2020
00:00:59

“And Moses said, ‘I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned’” Exodus 3:3.

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

In the burning bush encounter Scripture records that it began as Moses kept Jethro’s flock Exodus 3:1.

“When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, 'Moses, Moses!' And he said, 'Here I am'" Exodus 3:4.

Notice, God didn’t speak to Moses until He gave full attention to what God was trying to show him.

Diligent attention to daily duty is necessary.  We must be careful, however, not to allow duty to become an idol.  Are our hearts still sensitive to God? Can God still get our attention?

One Body
January 22, 2020
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
January 21, 2020
00:00:59
“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.

Ts Attack

“And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.

Gay and lesbian activists, along with their bisexual allies, are about face hostile opposition.

Not from those pesky evangelicals, whom many expect. It will arise from amongst their own regressive ranks.

There is much conversation today in the activist community that challenges LGB orthodoxy and this challenge is coming from transgender activists.

They assert, if gender is on a spectrum, then homosexuality and bisexuality don’t really exist because they can only exist where sexuality is binary.

In transgenderism, lesbianism, gayness, and bisexuality are a ruse, because you can’t really be male or female.

The LGBs are getting trouble from the Ts.

Wall Funds
January 17, 2020
00:00:59

“And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” Revelation 21:14 (ESV).

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

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the Trump administration can use about $4 billion in military funds to construct our southern border wall.

In its decision, the Court noted that the U.S. Supreme Court made a similar decision last year to allow the president to use military funds, highlighting the absurdity of the lower court ruling.

Last September, Defense Secretary Mark Esper authorized moving the military construction funds toward border wall construction.

Like it or not, the wall is coming!

Energy Exporter

“But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness.” 1 John 2:11(a) (ESV).

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

During his speech that signaled the end of recent military actions concerning Iran, President Trump said America is now,

The number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world.  We are independent and we do not need Middle East oil.

America is now a net energy-exporting nation for the first time since 1953.  Politicians and presidents of all stripes have yearned for “energy independence.”

Now we’ve achieved it. But, the talking snakes don’t want you to know it.

It’s become clear that some hate President Trump more than they love America.

Settled Sandmann
January 15, 2020
00:00:59

“For nothing is hidden that will not become evident.” Luke 8:17(a) (NASB).

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

Nick Sandmann has received a settlement from CNN after his $275 million libel lawsuit against them.

The settlement amount is undisclosed, but knowing his lawyers Nick’s nickname now is likely Nicky Rich.

Interestingly, during the suit, CNN initially filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that calling someone a ‘racist’ is not a provable fact and therefore does not rise to the level of libel.

They made this argument in court while CNN talking heads call President Trump and others racist as a statement of fact almost daily on their network.

The argument failed because now, CNN has paid, literally, for their lies.
