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.
"A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest" Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.” Proverbs 6:10-11 (NASB).

Amazon's CEO announced a roll back of the company’s remote work policy and will now require employees to come into the office to work in person at least three days per week.
Employees were furious. More than 14,000 employees joined an internal company communication channel to express their anger due to the policy change. Nearly 80% of those 14,000 employees claimed they would start looking for new jobs. Others drafted a formal petition against returning to the office.
Amazon employee terminations may be next.
“Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house and all that your fathers have laid up in store to this day will be carried to Babylon; nothing will be left,' says the LORD.” Isaiah 39:6 (NASB).

Soooooo, the Biden administration is preparing to enter the United States into a “legally binding” agreement with the World Health Organization (WHO) that would grant the entity authority to mandate America’s health care policies in the event of a future pandemic.
This would cede American sovereignty to the WHO to determine “treatments, government regulations such as lockdowns and vaccine mandates, global supply chains and surveilling populations” after a global health emergency is declared.
Biden lawlessness continues.
“So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.” 1 Samuel 1:18(b) (NASB).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
1 Samuel chapter 1 begins by introducing us to a woman named Hannah. She was tormented and grieved by barrenness. Hannah wept continually and was so disturbed that she wasn’t eating.
Yet, she makes her way to the LORD’s temple. Poured her heart out to Him, moving her lips but not uttering a sound.
Immediately, as she concluded her prayer, the matter was settled. Though she didn’t have tangible evidence of an answer to her heart’s cry at the moment. She had the intangible confidence in The One to whom she cried. The matter was settled in prayer.
“I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because He judged me faithful, appointing me to His service.” 1 Timothy 1:12 (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
In Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he expressed his awe, wonder and amazement at the inexhaustible grace and mercy of God in that He saw fit not only to regenerate Paul, but to also find him worthy for appointment to Gospel ministry.
Paul knows his history as a blasphemer and a terrorist who sought to destroy The Way of Christ following.
He stands as a witness to the fact, that no one—and I mean no one— is beyond the grace of God.
Keep praying for your unsaved loved ones!
“And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.” Mark 5:15 (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
Mark described the Gadarean demoniac, who said “My name is Legion, for we are many” as living among the tombs, breaking free from shackles and chains, howling in the night and cutting himself with stones.
But Jesus cast the demons out of him. And when the townspeople saw him with Jesus, free, clothed in his right mind… that is when they were afraid.
If you’ve recently been freed by Jesus don’t be surprised if it makes your old friends uncomfortable. It’s not you. It’s them.
“Where will you be stricken again, As you continue in your rebellion? The whole head is sick And the whole heart is faint.” Isaiah 1:5 (NASB).

February 13, 2023 at 1:43 p.m. Congresswoman Erin Healy, of South Dakota, tweeted:
Extremist group Family Heritage Alliance said this morning that the safest place for kids are in families that have a married mom and dad. What a dangerous and un-American belief.
When an elected official, serving in the most potent branch of our national government, deigns to describe God’s design for the family as “dangerous and un-American” it reveals just how dark things have gotten in our nation.
Repentance is our only option.
“So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.” Ruth 2:17 (NASB).

Before she ever became aware of the possibility of a Kinsman Redeemer, Ruth, the Moabite, demonstrated a strong work ethic and confidence in the God of Israel.
The way toward God’s destiny for our lives is through faithful obedience to Him and diligent execution of what He’s put in our hands to do right now. Before concerning ourselves with what may be next we should first ask whether we’ve been faithful where we are.
Faithfulness and diligence now yields clarity later. Let's put our hand to plough we have now.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him." Luke 15:20 (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
When the the Prodigal Son parable is discussed the focus is usually placed on the young son who squandered his inheritance, yet returned home when “he came to himself.” But, if you look closely at the biblical text you will see it actually reveals the inexhaustible love of The Father.
Jesus’ story-telling reveals that this was no usual earthly father. When the young son squandered all, brought shame upon himself and his family, The Father sees him from a distance, runs to him and restores him. That’s our heavenly Father.
"Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but [only] one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her." Luke 10:41(b)-42 (NASB).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
After Jesus resurrected their brother, Lazarus, Martha and Mary, hosted a dinner party in their Bethany home. You can imagine the excitement and the buzz that swirled through the town and the number of people who came because the Rabbi had returned.
Martha busied herself with preparations. Mary sat at Jesus’s feet, basking in his teaching.
Life’s demands can easily consume our focus, but one thing is necessary: that we remain at Jesus’ feet, anchored in His word!
“And having sent into Macedonia two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.” Acts 19:22 (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
As Apostle Paul navigated torrential ministerial waters in Ephesus, he sent Timothy and Erastus ahead of him as an advance team to Macedonia. Paul also includes Erastus as one who greeted the church at Rome in Romans 16:23 in which Paul described Erastus’ job as the City Treasurer in Corinth.
In 1929, archeologists in Corinth discovered a mid-1st century latin inscription that read “Erastus in return for his aedileship laid the pavement at his own expense.” The modern equivalent of a 1st century aedile would be a City Manager.
The Bible is trustworthy!
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” Luke 10:2(a) (NASB).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
At 4:11 p.m. February 5th, prior to its live airing of the 65th Grammy Awards, CBS tweeted “We are ready to worship!” This was in response to a tweet from self-described non-binary singer Sam Smith, who later rendered a perverted performance of a song titled “Unholy” in which he depicted himself as the devil… literally.
No one should be surprised that CBS and the Grammy’s celebrate perversion and Satan worship. The scriptures told us this was coming.
It should spur Christ-followers to again recognize the Bible is true and that the harvest is plentiful. Let’s work.
“Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.” Psalm 127:1 (NASB).

U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck, Commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), informed reporters that the Chinese spy balloon that was shot down off the coast of South Carolina was up to 200 feet tall, weighed “in excess of a couple thousand pounds,” and seemingly carried explosives “to detonate and destroy the balloon.”
It was first spotted in Alaska and we let it drift across our national mainland, including sensitive defense sites collecting who knows what.
This gives new meaning to “Chinese Inflation."
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people.” 1 Peter 2:9(a) (ESV).

When the the Spirit of God penned those words through Apostle Peter he meant every bit of them. Christ-following is distinct from the world. Christ-followers must look different from the world.
We shouldn’t be surprised then, when the world does not understand us and demonizes our faith. Jesus said, the student is not above the teacher. The world hated Jesus. We mustn’t be surprised when the world hates us.
We are called to be peculiar. Understand it. Embrace it. Get comfortable with it. Get used to it.
We are in the world, but not of the world.
Stay peculiar my friends.
“The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.” Jeremiah 1:1-2 (NASB).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
Jeremiah descended from a priestly lineage in Judah. He grew up in Anathoth, about 2-4 miles northeast of Jerusalem, where the temple was located. He began ministering prophetically about 627 B.C., during the 13th year of King Josiah’s reign. This is about 5 years before Josiah began Judah’s spiritual reformation.
It is very likely that Josiah’s reformation was influenced by Jeremiah’s preaching.
“He who walks with wise [men] will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.” Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV).

The American Enterprise Institute conducted an empirical study to understand the decline of religious faith in America. They concluded,
The data seem to show the main driver of secularization in the United States is government spending on education and control over the curricular content taught in schools.
Why? Because,
Children learn more at school than reading, writing, and arithmetic. They imbibe a whole set of implied assumptions about what’s important in life. Faith in God becomes a sort of optional weekend hobby akin to playing tennis or video games.
And our taxes dollars pay for it.
“Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14 (NASB).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
An important, yet underdressed, fact in the Biden classified documents scandal is that the Department of Justice entered into an agreement with Mr. Biden’s personal attorneys, dating back to November 2, 2022, concerning the search for and handling of the illegally possessed classified documents.
This executive collaboration helps to explain why the illegal possession of the documents, initially discovered prior to the 2022 midterm elections, was kept from the American People for nearly three months. They spent that time to develop and implement their coordinated PR rollout.
Lawlessness abounds where Truth is rejected.
“Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house.” Ezekiel 3:9 (NASB).

The legal persecution of Jack Phillips continues. The Coloradan partially vindicated by the U.S. Supreme Court for standing fast in his commitment to God’s design for marriage when refused to make a custom cake celebrating a homosexual wedding is now before the Colorado Court of Appeals.
The state court has ruled that Jack has now violated Colorado’s non-discrimination law by refusing to make a custom cake celebrating transgenderism.
“Tolerance” was never the goal of LGBTQIAP+ activism. Submission to rebellion is.
“Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands far away; For truth has stumbled in the street, And uprightness cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14 (NASB).

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a statement announcing the Marshal of the Supreme Court and her staff have not identified who leaked the draft of the Dobbs opinion that later overturned Roe v. Wade.
The statement said the Marshal’s team had “been unable to identify a suspect by a preponderance of the evidence." All that is legally required, however, to identify and arrest a criminal suspect is probable cause. “Preponderance of the evidence” can only be determined by a judge or jury in a courtroom.
This smacks of a coverup.
“That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” Ephesians 4:14 (KJV).

Project Veritas has publicized an undercover video of Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer’s Director of mRNA Scientific Planning, saying the company is exploring intentional mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus through directed evolution in order to develop future vaccines.
He said, it will be a cash cow for Pfizer for years to come.
Intentionally create increasingly dangerous viruses soooo you can produce vaccines…. for the viruses you’ve created… for profit. Pfizer wouldn’t do that… would they?
