“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42 (NASB95).

In this information age, mankind is more connected than we’ve ever been in human history. However, some studies show that many feel more lonely and isolated than ever.
To address that conundrum, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has a solution. He says, America’s loneliness problem can be cured by rolling out increasingly personalized AI assistants. That’s right, Zuckerberg says AI “friends” are the cure.
This is foolishness. God made mankind to be socially connected. There is no substitute for real, flesh and blood relationships with people.
Fake digital “friends” is the problem, not the solution.
“Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.” Amos 5:23 (NASB95).

The prophet Amos confronted Israel for ceremonial worship that was not reflected in their hearts or lifestyles. God said to them, “I reject your festivals. Take away from Me the noise of your songs.” Amos 5:21, 23.
Just because we offer something as “worship” doesn’t mean that God accepts it. He is looking for worship that emanates from hearts of contrition. Circumcision of the heart is our LORD’s desire.
We must strive to be a people who lift up holy hands in worshipful melody before the LORD that accurately reflects our heart conditions, demonstrable in how we live.
“Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter.” Isaiah 15:14 (NASB95).

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hanna Dugan was arrested on two federal criminal charges due to her escorting an illegal immigrant, who appeared before her on a criminal assault charge, and his attorney out of her courtroom through the jury room door to help avert his arrest by ICE according an FBI affidavit filed in court.
The immigrant illegally re-entered the United States after being previously deported in 2013.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has now also stepped in to suspend Judge Dugan from the bench in light of her pending federal criminal charges.

Harvard University has admitted the ugly truth: the regressive long march through its faculty and administration has borne poisonous fruit in the form of blazing anti-Semitism and the overall ruin of its campus climate and curricula.
The Ivy League school’s own report on the Tentifada that sprang up on its campus supporting Hamas following October 7th showed a decades long effort to drive Jewish students out of student life at the university.
The process was well underway before October 7th and played an outsized role “in the politicization and radicalization of academia and its intellectual and reputational decline.”
“Slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents.” Proverbs 29:2(b) (NASB95).

Meta AI is using the personas of celebrities like John Cena, Kristen Bell, and Judi Dench to act out sick fantasy chats with users regardless of age, according to a bombshell report from the The Wall Street Journal.
According to the report, Meta’s AI powered “chatbots” will engage in “graphic talk with users, even children, with the voices of Disney characters and celebrities.”
The report further explained that Meta promised the celebrities, who were paid millions for the use of their voices and likenesses, that they wouldn’t be used in sexual contexts. Nevertheless, The Wall Street Journal’s investigation showed otherwise.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed during a cabinet meeting that Mr. Biden’s State Department kept dozens of dossiers on the social media posts of American citizens who were referred to as “vectors of disinformation.”
Secretary Rubio went on the say, “We had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans.”
The Biden Administration used the potency of the tax payer funded federal government to spy on American citizens. Thankfully, the dark days of the Biden years are over. But the American people must remain vigilant going forward to hold all public servants accountable to us.
“Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself. The more his fruit, The more altars he made; The richer his land, The better he made the sacred pillars.” Hosea 10:1 (NASB95).

Abundant resources present temptations commensurate with replete supply. God spoke through the prophet Hosea to rebuke Israel for using it’s material wealth to compound idolatry in the nation.
Good stewardship of abundance requires godly character, commitment and devotion. Without it, you'll have a person amply supplied to pursue all manner of wickedness. It is a wonderful thing to have abundant resources dedicated to fulfill God’s purposes.
Abundant resources, however, in the hands of the ungodly, creates weapons of mass destruction.
“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” Philippians 4:8 (NASB95).

Apostle Paul penned these words while instructing Believers how to navigate anxiety. Much of what befalls us in terms mental or emotional distress usually stems from us, at some point, believing a lie.
That’s why the Apostle’s words here are so vital. As Believers, we have the unique ability to set our minds and emotions and not be set by them.
The LORD’s mental health prescription is to set our minds on what’s true. Feast on what’s true.
“Salt is good, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?” Luke 14:34 (ESV).

Dr. George Barna’s American Worldview Inventory has revealed results that are tremendously troubling. His research indicates that Evangelicals are more likely to be shaped by the prevalent American culture than to influence it.
Instead of being salt and light, Dr. Barna’s study indicates, that being lightly salted is the more likely reality. This proves what I’ve said repeatedly. America greatest and most desperate need is repentance. That work, the work of repentance, must start with the people of God.
Our nation needs revival, but the revival must start in our own hearts, our homes, and our churches.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2(a) (NASB95).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
The LORD warned us that the last days would be evinced by the ubiquity of pernicious deception. Discernment is not an optional quality to retain. When Paul wrote to Christians in Rome, he exhorted Believers to refuse to conform to the world around them. Rather, be transformed by the renewing of our minds.
He continued, transformation whilst resisting worldly conformation was vital to knowing God’s will. Reverend Charles Spurgeon said, “discernment isn’t merely distinguishing right from wrong, it includes distinguishing right from almost right.”
Sharp discernment is one of the benefits of living holy, set apart, lives.
“And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?” Matthew 15:3 (NASB95).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
In Matthew 15, Jesus exposed the Pharisees pernicious wickedness by contrasting their tradition with God’s command. God said honor your father and mother.
The Pharisees tradition was to refuse material support to their biological parents by declaring “Corban. What would’ve have been given to parents is dedicated to God.” Since they functioned in the priestly role, the Pharisees’ “Corban” declaration simply meant they kept the money for themselves.
Heart conditions can be revealed by how we treat our parents, especially as they age.
God’s command rivals our culture’s tradition.
“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).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
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.

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.
