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 identify themselves as Christian women, and 18 percent of all abortions obtained by self-discribed

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 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.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness” 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV).

Christ followers must contend for the authority of scripture in every generation.

Current societal challenges that are described as culture wars are really societal attacks on the authority and application of Scripture.

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.

"The Lord hates a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil.” Proverbs 6:18 (NASB95).

Superior Court Judge William Clark has ordered that a new Democratic mayoral primary election be conducted in Connecticut after surveillance videos emerged that captured a city official and former city councilwoman stuffing a ballot drop box with illegal absentee ballots.

Judge Clark ruled that the footage showed city employee Wanda Geter-Pataky and former City Councilwoman Eneida Martinez breaking the law by stuffing the drop box with illegal ballots.

This is Democrat on Democrat election fraud.

But, after watching the videos, it doesn’t look like this was their first time stealing an election.

“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.

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

Hamas Official Ghazi Hamad appeared on Lebanese news out LCBI to state what many in the West refuse to realize. Thanks to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), who translated the Arabic interview, we know what he said.

He bellowed that Hamas will repeat the murderous October 7th massacre of Jewish civilians, including the elderly, women, and children, over and over again. He promised Hamas will not stop until Israel is “annihilated.”

Those calling for a ceasefire or a pause would only bolster the genocidal aims of the Hamas savages. There is no moral equivalence here. Israel must defend itself.

"Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly!” Isaiah 1:4(a) (ESV).

According to a recent survey conducted by Redfield and Wilson strategies on behalf of Newsweek, nearly half of millennials—25 to 34 year olds—believe “misgendering” a person should be a criminal offense.

That’s right 44% of the millennial respondents think “referring to someone by the wrong pronoun should be punished with jail time. 31% of millennials disagreed with that idea. But, alarmingly, the remaining 25% said they “didn’t know” what they thought about the idea.

The land of the free has cultivated an upcoming generation that embraces thought policing. We’ve entered Huxley’s “Brave New World.”

“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.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Proverbs 1:5 (NASB95).

The LORD has given us a prescription to fortify Believers against the sin of worry in Philippians 4. He then commands us to set our minds to think on whatever is true, honorable, just, excellent, lovely, or praiseworthy.

The connector between dispelling anxiety and directing our minds is thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving dispatches God’s heavenly garrison around our hearts and minds.

Thanksgiving is the key to having the mind of Christ uninterruptedly.

Thanksgiving causes us to refocus ourselves to view the whole life from the vantage point of God’s active role in it.

"A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.” Proverbs 1:5 (NASB95).

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

As Solomon pronounced the entire purposed for the book of Proverbs in its first chapter he also noted that a wise man sets himself to hear, to learn, and to increase his knowledge as a result. That wise man, a man of understanding, also affirmatively seeks out wise counsel.

In short, the wise man knows that he doesn’t know it all. As a result, his course is set for continued accrual of wisdom. If you want to be wise, pursue sources of  wisdom and learn from them. The greatest available wisdom source is God’s holy word.

In a demonstration of globalized hatred for Jews, hundreds of people stormed an International Airport in the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan in Russia to hunt down Israelis who’d just flown in from Tel Aviv.

The flight from Tel Aviv landed at 7:17 p.m. local time, after which the horde stormed the airport, waving Palestinian flags, breaking past security and ran onto the tarmac.

The mob did so to hunt for any incoming flight carrying Jews.

We cannot ignore the religious centrality of Islamic terrorism around the world and we must exhibit the strength of will to destroy it.

“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” Hebrews 4:13 (NASB95).

Following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought against the National Records and Archives Administration (NARA), its now been revealed that Mr. Joseph Robinette Biden used three private pseudonym email accounts during his vice-presidential tenure.

Then Vice-President Biden sent or received 82,000 pages of emails through these private accounts. This total dwarfs the amount that landed She Who Shall Never Be President in hot water a decade ago.

Unsurprisingly, the private emails have been implicated in the Biden influence peddling scheme.

A camp counselor boasted on Tik Tok that he convinced a cabin of 13-year-olds to embrace communism and socialism.

First, the counselor helped a self described queer child to become president of the cabin. Then, the counselor set about radicalizing the young teenagers. He told them about Karl Marx and the glory of a communist government and circulated a copy of “The ABC’s of Socialism” around the cabin.

The world offers Drag Queen Story Hours and Karl Marx indoctrination to our children. If we rear them in the nurture and admonition of the LORD, as we’ve been commanded, worldly persuasion won’t work.

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.

“I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.” John 17:15 (NASB95)

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

In Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer recorded in John 17, He makes the observation that the world would hate His disciples. Yet, He follows that by praying not that His disciples would be removed from the world, but that we would be kept from the evil one.

As difficult as times have become, we Christ-followers must recognize that our God and King saved us and planted us in the world at this time intentionally. It would be an abdication of our assignment to adopt an escapist disposition. We’ve been ordained for this moment.

"Longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.” 2 Timothy 1:4 (NASB95)

Paul’s second epistle to Timothy was written the near the very end of Paul’s life,  while he was incarcerated awaiting an imminent albeit uncertain execution under Nero.

He begins chapter one of this epistle describing how he prayed for Timothy night and day and how he longed to see him. This reveals a fiber and texture that undergirded their relationship. Paul and Timothy loved each other deeply.

This deep and abiding reciprocal love is necessary to effective disciple making. Knowledge isn’t enough to make a disciple. The love of Christ must abound.
