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.
“What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.” Genesis 4:10 (ESV).

According to the World Health Organization, abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2018. As of December 31, 2018, 41.9 million babies were murdered in the womb last year.
That is more than the 8.2 million people who died from cancer in 2018, more than the 5 million who died from smoking, and more than the 1.7 million who died from HIV/Aids in 2018 globally COMBINED!!!
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
LORD, please strengthen us to abolish this wickedness!
"For you formed my inward parts. You knitted me together in my mother's womb."

According to a recent study published by the Christian Post, 76.3 percent of all abortions are obtained by "God-fearing women," with 68.7 percent who identified themselves as Christian women and 18 percent of all abortions obtained by self-described, born-again or evangelical women.
A corresponding Care Net study found that many women with unplanned pregnancies go silently from the church pew to the abortion clinic, convinced the church would gossip rather than help.
America's greatest need is for repentance. When the hearts of the American people turn to God, everything else will be impacted.
"But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people” 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV).

Hannaniah, Mishael, and Azariah weren’t the only Jewish exiles in Babylon. They weren’t the only people under Nebuchadnezzar who knew that YHWH expressly prohibited worshipping graven images.
Yet, they are the only three recorded in Scripture who refused to bow down and worship the golden statute. Though they were an extreme minority they refused to go along to get along with the Babylonian culture.
The way of Christ-following may be in the minority today, it is nevertheless The Way.
Resolute is the disposition of the fully persuaded. In this modern day Babylon, be one of the three.
"And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” John 12:32 (ESV)

Full weaponization of the federal government to crush a political opponent, politicians and a political party that bill themselves as pro-life while refusing to actually do what’s in their power to stop the killing of little babies, the successful and unrelenting advance of Regressivism…
All of these are signs that our national condition is not merely a natural phenomenon. It is spiritual.
Civic engagement without spiritual engagement produces political roller coasters. National course correction will only come by national repentance. We must elevate Him.
"Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” Luke 19:5 (ESV)

When their mom passed the Landau brothers of NJ had a garage sale to clear out their mom’s house, but they decided to keep a few things including mom’s old creepy painting of a woman passed out in a chair and two men trying to revive her.
Fast forward to their estate auction and the brothers found themselves fielding bids from France and Germany for the painting.
Turns out it was a long lost Rembrandt that ultimately sold for $1.1 million.
A trained eye spots value where others don’t.
"From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth…” Ephesians 4:16 (KJV)

It's not by chance that Jesus refers to his Church as “The Body.” Just as it is with our physical bodies every member has a distinct role and function to fulfill.
Unfortunately, in the era of celebrity Christianity we’ve reduced the concept of ministry solely to what occurs in what is often little more than Sunday productions and performances.
The key to thriving in God’s Kingdom is understanding that every member in The Body of Christ is vital called to ministry.
They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, while He opened to us the Scriptures?"

These words were shared between Cleopas and his companion on the seven mile walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus as Jesus, in resurrected form, used the Hebrew scriptures to reveal himself to them as the Messiah.
There are at least 109 distinct biblical prophecies the Messiah has to fulfill. The mathematical probability of such a feat occurring is astoundingly absurd. Yet that absurdity is satisfied in Jesus the Messiah.
Come let us adore Him.
“There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood.” Proverbs 6:16-17 (NASB).

With support from its Republican Governor, Phil Scott, Vermont is on course to become the first state in our nation to guarantee a right to murder pre-born babies in its constitution.
The Vermont house voted 107-41 to place Proposition 5 on to the ballot for consideration by voters there in November.
According to the Pew Research Center, 70% of adult Vermonters say pre-born baby murder should be legal in all or most cases.
The citizens will vote, but God is the final judge!
“Whenever he lies, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44 (NASB).

The CDC has been collecting information on Covid hospitalizations for more than a year. But, the agency has withheld most of it from the public.
What’s more, the agency seems to have selectively published information to support public messaging about boosters.
According to the New York Times, when it published its first significant data on the effectiveness of boosters in adults, it conveniently left out the numbers on 18 to 49 year olds which showed that age group was the least likely to benefit from boosters.
This is why no one trusts them anymore.

“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).

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!

Weak political leadership creates a void that is filled by despots and tyrants.
Biden blocked the Keystone XL pipeline, one several acts that terminated our newly minted national position as a net energy exporter. This told the world American energy independence was no longer a priority.
Then, Biden green-lit the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, strengthening Russia’s hold on Europe generally and holding Germany hostage particularly.
This gave leverage to that thug, Vladimir Putin, which encouraged Russia’s Ukraine invasion.
Please, pray for Ukraine. Pray for Europe. Pray for Russia. And also, pray for the United States of America. We must, as a nation, turn to Jesus!
"Then Saul clothed David with his armor. He put a helmet of bronze on his head and clothed him with a coat of mail.” 1 Samuel 17:38 (ESV)

40 days of twice daily taunting from Goliath sent Saul and the Israelite army reeling in fear. But David’s passion for YHWH, conviction, and full persuasion stirred King Saul.
When people are on fire for God it often provokes others to glob on to that fire.
But we must be careful to resist the well-meaning overtures of the flame-less by-standers.
Saul meant well, but his armor couldn’t help. It would only slow David down.
"Salt [is] good: but if the salt has lost its savour, how will it be seasoned?” Luke 14:34 (NKJV).
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.
"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).

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

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.
"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
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. Its 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.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has just released its “National Terrorism Advisory Bulletin.” In it, the first key factor contributing to the current heightened threat environment was,
Widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.
You remember that violent attack perpetrated by people who refused to join Anthony Fauci and the Branch Covidian, right? Yeah, me neither.
Look, our government’s sucking up to Communist China has morphed into it wanting be China.
Political disagreement has officially been deemed by our government as a terror threat!

The Biden administration created a nearly $30 million grant program to fund crack pipe distribution through non profits and local governments as part of its plan to advance "racial equity.”
The funds are for "smoking kits/supplies.” According to the Department of Health and Human Services, these kits will provide pipes for users to smoke crack cocaine, crystal meth, and "any illicit substance” to reduce the risk of infection when smoking substances with glass pipes. Grant applicants are prioritized if they treat a majority of "underserved communities," including African Americans and "LGBTQ+ persons.”
Biden equity is crack pipes for the hood.

An appalling video circulated on social media, showing a smiling Iranian husband parading the severed head of his 17-year-old wife through the streets, is causing shock and outrage in the country and around the world
The footage, obtained by the New York Post, shows the murdering husband grinning as he strolled through a neighborhood in Ahvaz, a city in southwestern Iran, on Saturday, Feb. 5, with his wife Mona Heydari’s head in one hand and a bloodied blade in the other.
Contrary to regressive sentiment, no! Not all civilizations or cultures are equal. There is something called evil. And this is pure evil!!!
