The Hamilton Minute is a power packed 60 seconds where we tackle the issues of the day through the lens of God’s Word. You don’t want to miss a moment of it.
"By mercy and truth iniquity is purged; and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” Proverbs 16:6 (KJV).

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.
"Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!” Romans 10:15 (NASB).

A friend of mine who pastors in Nigeria once said to me “ya know, America has sent more missionaries into the world than any other nation before it. But the nation that once sent missionaries has now become the mission field.”
As you consider the calling God has for you, I just want to remind you that just as other nations need missionaries we need missionaries in America too.
There are a lot of neighborhoods right here in our country that desperately need evangelism and discipleship. Let’s not forget them.
"Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.” 2 Timothy 3:5 (ESV).

Today some professing Christians assert that Critical Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Intersectionality are helpful tools for the Church. These people have an appearance of godliness, but their assertions deny the sufficiency of God’s Word to guide the Church in living out the reconciliation Jesus secured for us on the cross.
Make no mistake, as Paul told Timothy, the God-breathed Scripture is sufficient for teaching, for correction, for training in righteousness.
Those who have an appearance of godliness, but deny the power of God’s Word for doctrine and practice must be identified and avoided.
“She took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.” Genesis 3:6(b) (ESV).

Genesis 3 records for us the cataclysmic rebellion against God in the Garden of Eden. The entire episode, Eve’s entertainment of the sensual lies of the talking snake, the deceptive twisting of God’s word, all of it transpired with Adam standing right there.
Adam was the one to whom God entrusted his word to originally, Adam was the one God charged with cultivating and protecting the garden and his wife.
Yet he stood there silent.
Men, let us not repeat Adam’s sin of present absence.
Stand on God’s word and defend your gardens!
"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).

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!
“For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:26 (NASB).

Buzz Aldrin is the famed astronaut who planted the American flag on the moon and explored it for some 21 hours.
What many don’t know, however, is what Mr. Aldrin did to commemorate the moon landing.
Aldrin, a committed Christian and Elder in his local church, marked the incredible occasion by celebrating Holy Communion. This first meal ever eaten on the moon was a celebration of the LORD’s table, a lunar declaration that Jesus Christ is our LORD, Savior, and soon coming King.
“Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word.” 14:23(a) (ESV).

We live an era currently where spirituality is en vogue. Christ following is not.
Some, even claim to love Jesus while simultaneously rebelling against His word and encouraging others to rebel similarly.
But, Jesus said it himself: “if you love me you will obey me. Whoever does not love me does not obey my words.”
Make no mistake about it, to love Jesus is to obey Him. You cannot love Jesus and disobey Him.
If you are living in rebellion against Jesus’ word, you are not following Jesus as He’s revealed Himself in scripture. You’re following a god you’ve created.
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Psalm 139:13 (ESV).

According to the CDC and the Guttmacher Institute the number one reason women choose abortion is they’re “not ready for a child.”
2) “Can’t afford a baby.”
3) “Don’t want any more children.”
4) “Don’t want to be a single mother.”
5) “Not mature enough to raise a child
6) “Would interfere with education or career.”
Those reasons represent 95% of all abortions.
Risks to the mother’s physical health represent less than 4% of all abortions and conception resulting from “rape and incest” represent 1% of all abortions.
The reality? Abortion is used as birth control.
“Just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.” Romans 5:12 (ESV).

A popular effort in social revisionism is happening where “racism,” which is better described in Biblical terms as skin-color-based partiality, is a crime of which only people with lighter skin color can be guilty.
Let’s be clear, factions, divisions, and dissensions, including those based on skin color, are the fruit of the sinful flesh.
The root cause of partiality is sin.
Every person, regardless of the quantity of melanin in their skin, is capable of partiality.
The only remedy for sin is the blood of Jesus Christ.
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house or anything that is your neighbor’s." Excerpted from Exodus 20:17 (ESV).

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said “an economic system that allows billionaires to exist is immoral.”
Someone may want to let the former bartender turned Congresswoman know that the top 1% of wage earners pay nearly 50% of all federal taxes.
The top 10% of wage earners pay nearly 70% of all federal taxes.
The top 20% of wage earners pay about 85% of all federal taxes. That money funds things like our national welfare programs.
Don’t let them entice you to harbor disdain for the wealthy. Socialists bank on covetousness to gain support for their regressive policies.
"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it.” Genesis 1:28 (ESV).

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.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 8404, the misnamed “Respect for Marriage Act,” 267-157. The bill seeks to provide legislative sanction for homosexual marriage nationwide. Regressives fear that Obergerell, the SCOTUS opinion that created a so-called “constitutional right” to homosexual marriage, may fall next because it’s built on the same legal sinking sand that Roe was manufactured on. 47 House Republicans joined the Democrats to pass the bill.
Now, it’s been fast tracked in the U.S. Senate and 5 Republicans have already expressed support for the measure.
If Republicans don’t fight for marriage, can they really be considered conservative?

Michigan University Head Football Coach Jim Harbaugh and his wife spoke recently at a right to life event in Plymouth, MI.
He was then asked about is pro-life convictions during Big 10 Football media day by ESPN.com.
He said,
Let’s discuss it. We need to talk about it. It’s too big of an issue to not give real serious consideration to… Any player on our team… any staff member or…anybody in our family or extended family… that doesn’t feel like they can take care of a baby, we got a big house, we’ll raise that baby… I believe in letting the unborn be born.
“But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.” Luke 12:2 (NASB).

Senator Chuck Grassley dropped a bombshell news release in which he reports several senior FBI officials have stepped forward as whistleblowers to reveal that the Washington D.C. headquarters opened a sham “assessment” investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop, undermining an on-going investigation conducted by the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office, for the sole purpose of “running cover” for the Biden family and falsely portraying already verified evidence and verifiable evidence as “disinformation.”
If proven true, this would show that our very own FBI was complicit in establishing a sustained risk to American national security.

Dr. Deborah Birx, former COVID adviser to President Trump —the scarf lady, is hawking a new book titled “Silent Invasion.” In it, she reveals that she actively deceived the Trump administration on COVID strategies.
She wrote as soon as,
We convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shut down I was trying to figure out how to extend it. I didn’t have the numbers… yet to make the case for extending it, but I had two weeks to get them.
“15 days to slow the spread” was rouse. Total shut down was her aim from the beginning.
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD.” Psalm 121-1-2(a) (ESV).

The sole abortion facility in Mississippi that challenged a Mississippi law that ultimately led to Roe vs. Wade’s demise has permanently closed and the building has now been sold.
The building, known as the “Pink House” will never reopen.
As a result, the state of Mississippi has no murder mills operating in it.
Sidewalk counselors, street evangelists, Pastors and many others who’ve fought tirelessly for the most vulnerable among us, the unborn, have prayed, worked and cried to see this day come.
Thanks be to God, that day is here!
“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” 2 Timothy 4:2 (NASB).

As Paul was incarcerated, facing imminent execution by Nero, he told Timothy perilous times were coming. Evil men and seducers would wax worse and worse.
But, he instructed Timothy to continue in what he knew to be true.
Then, he emphatically stated, “preach the word!”
As darkness mounts and wickedness increases, you and I must continue to cling the God’s Holy word and yield to the Lordship of Holy Spirit in our personal lives.
And, we absolutely must continue the preach the word!
We have our orders! Let’s magnify the King!

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren called for pregnancy resource centers to be “shut down” across the country.” She said they “fool” and “torture” women and “pregnant people”.
She said nothing, however, about the little babies who are literally tortured to death at murder mills. And no matter how many times she or others try to say otherwise, ONLY WOMEN GET PREGNANT!
Senator Warren lamented that pregnancy resource centers outnumber murder mills in Massachusetts three to one.
Say want you will. One political party wants to kill babies. The other doesn’t. Other political conversations seek to distract from this central point.

While campaigning for the presidency in 2019 reporter Peter Doocy asked Mr. Biden if he’d ever spoken with his son, Hunter Biden, concerning his overseas business dealings. The elder Biden said, “no, never.”
Well, we now know that is an absolute lie. We have recorded voice mail evidence that Mr. J. Robinette Biden called Hunter because he read a New York Times story about Hunter’s business dealings in China in which he said “I think you’re in the clear.”
Cleared from what Joe?
We may very well have a real Manchurian candidate in office beholden to the Communist Chinese Government

Police in Toronto, Canada asked for help to locate a “woman…” with “short hair, heavy facial hair and a strong jawline.” The description continued, “she is 5’10,” with a thin build, shaggy blond hair and full goatee.”
A FULL GOATEE!!!!
This is the description for the 27-year-old “missing woman.”
Regressives seek the normalization of insanity.
When you reject God’s way you open the way to everything else, including the objectively absurd. Society is plunging full speed ahead into reprobation.
