    Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be His ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. and now the Hamilton Corner. Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton the third. Ready to rock and roll with you for today's program. If you don't have a recognize it yet, we are in an upside down era in human history and recent events all around the country just typify that. that reality. But before we get into all of that, as I mentioned, Abraham Hamilton the third is my name. I am joined by the court of contingent right across from you. My man, One hundred grand Mr. Bobby, no side is in the building. And we have Richie Rich in the screening room. And I know Jay Mac is getting things going for us to help us put together this program for today's show. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs through which and where you cultivate an outcome. I cannot stress sufficiently how much outcome cultivation is the order of the day. We must brothers and sisters, we must, we must be about our father's business. So many things are happening in our country. And if you could, you could really distill them down to one reality that there is a deficiency of disciple making, transpiring in our nation.

  2. 2:13

    And don't misconstrue what I'm saying. I'm not saying nobody's doing anything. I know people are engaged. I know that for a fact. I know I'm engaged. I know people who are engaged. And I know people beyond those within my spheres of communication and interaction are also engaged, but we need more, but we need more. We need more effective engagement. We need more strategic engagement. We need more committed engagement. We need more deliberate engagement. We need very frankly, and I'm not saying this to be unnecessarily provocative, but we need people that are more concerned with the kingdom of God than they are with their own kingdoms. We need people more, I'm going to say it again. We need people more concerned with the kingdom of God than they are with their own fiefdoms. The time is far spent. Ladies and gentlemen, the time is far spent. We need all hands on decked on deck. We need grandmothers. We need grandfathers. We need parents. We need children. We need students. We need entrepreneurs. We need business owners. We need everybody. We need everybody. The Lord explains very plainly to us in his word that every believer is called to ministry. Ministries, a fancy word that means service very simply. We need everybody to seek the Lord to see how he would have us engage right where he has planted us. So as you're making your transition today, I want to encourage you to understand the primacy that God places on the family. You know, I know a lot of people are screeching all over the country and this is a part of the upside down world we're living in. You know, all kinds of people, even the, even nuns at the Benedictine College where Harrison Butker spoke, the nuns at the school are condemning the man, the nuns at the school.

  3. 4:13

    You got the NFL, this is himself from Harrison Butker, but you allow all kinds of degenerates. Woman beaters, drug abusers, those accused of alleged murders. You let them rock all day long because they may be fast and throw a football like that one. But oh my gosh, Harrison Butker, butker daresay. He appreciates his own wife for the woman she is and the mother that she is and oh, Harrison Butker does not speak for the NFL. upside down world, man. Subside down world. You got 216 people that signed a petition to have the Kansas City Chiefs fired and kicked this man off the football team because we decided a speech at a college commencement ceremony. But you got how many people? Oh, I forgot, they have performance enhancing drug policies, you see, Bobby. You know, you can be all kind of degenerates and still subside down. It's clown world, man. And I don't say it to be dismissive about it. We have reached the place where we are beyond reasonable disagreement between adults. We have people that are literally advocating for insanity, demonic activity, outright wickedness and anarchy and they're passing it off as if, oh yeah, I just want, I just have a disagreement politically with you on this issue. Man, you're talking about mutilating babies, telling little boys, well, how do you do You know you're a boy. That's kind of stuff y'all are talking about. That's not a reasonable position. That's just a countervailing view. Let's go to the Word of God. Unsurprisingly, God has already been where we are.

  4. 6:14

    He knew what was coming. Prepare this people for it by providing it directly in his word. Oh, there's more. There's more. But Isaiah chapter five is what we're going to go. Isaiah chapter five. Isaiah chapter five verse 20. I want to give you context for this. The first eight chapters of the book of Isaiah chronologically were written after the events recorded in 2 Kings 15 and 2 Chronicles 26. The overarching purpose of Isaiah's prophetic ministry and his prophetic writings is to call the people of Judah particularly to repentance and to proclaim Yahweh's salvation through Messiah. That's the overarching purpose, but to call the people of Judah to repentance. I remind you, Judah means praise. Our current American society is not the first society that went berserk. All right. This is the same Judah. If you read 2nd, chronic 2nd Kings, 22, 23, I mentioned this last week. So it is so abandoned Yahweh worship and fidelity that they had forgotten that there was a book of the law that existed. He'll kind of discovered it in the temple during a temple restoration project Chapter 23 shows that you had male cult prostitutes who had built structures in the temple complex. You want to say what I'm selling you? So this is not the first time things have gone upside down but we are in that time period. Isaiah chapter the prophet pins something as a whoa, this is a warning that's not just a warning, like watch out, some bad's gonna happen to you.

  5. 8:21

    It's a warning that says if you persist in this way, you are placing yourself in the scope of enduring the tangible, furtive wrath of God. The prophet Isaiah says this, Whoa to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. The prophet Isaiah offered this that the people who do this are placing themselves in full view of the tangible, third of overt wrath of God. There are several things intrinsic to the one, I just want to take my time unpacking this because it says, whoa to those who call evil good. Right off the bat with the prophet Isaiah is communicating is that there is a transcendent objective discernible standard for what is evil and for what is good. This modern notion of moral relativism and you have the combination of moral relativism, a feature of postmodernism moving over to a post-truth society that is leading not merely to moral relativism but to societal deconstruction to where people are literally living. There's no such thing as a good objective pursuit in life. This is why you you have, oh, so if you want to be the type of lady who has this course of life that you pursue or if you want to be a sex worker, you literally have people calling prostitutes and I'll just tell you plainly, women who do porn are just prostitutes who record their prostitution digitally because they're doing what they're doing for pay.

  6. 10:29

    I don't, I'm not trying to be unnecessarily insensitive. Incensive, I'm just being honest about what's coming on here. Yet, you have a society, oh, these are sex workers. We need sex workers rights. We need to normalize. It's not, that's not, that's not, that's not, that's not viable occupation. The very same people who are, who are screeching mad about Harrison Butgers, commencement speech or some of the same people that are saying, we need to normalize sex work, upside down world, upside down world. But God saying, and this is what we need to understand, we need to move away, myself included, move away from having your favorite personalities as being standards of truth. your most popular people and return to God's Word. We need to return to a robust willingness when people ask you, well, how can you say so confidently that that is wrong? I'm glad you asked because God's Word says so, because God's Word says so. Say it with conviction. Look them in the eye. Say it without flinching, because God's Word says so. Oh, I can't believe that you are so such an intellectual, infibrable person that you need to rely upon some spiritual to communicate truth. You're lying on something that's spiritual to communicate truth. Your claims that there is no God or that you don't believe in a word or anything else you say is just as much a spiritual claim as mine. Now, what we need to do if we are intelligent, right-thinking adults or children if you have any conversation with children, let's see whose faith claims have objective support in affirmation, which ones make more sense. If you wanna tell me that we with the complexity, the complexity of the human eye, that they're still to this, they never been a camera that can communicate with clarity and vision that the human eye can, yet you wanna tell me that this is the random accumulation of a monkey, a majority to amoeba, to monkey, to man over millions of years, you tell me why you think that makes sense.

  7. 12:45

    That's an absurd assertion. And you should be ashamed of yourself for being willing to say it publicly. I'm tired of the man be pamming this man. If we're Christians, we have a difficult time answering the issues of the day, let's spend some time studying to show ourselves approved, because we have imbeciles running our society. And they have imbeciles with suits and ties on, who have no idea what they're doing and they're destroying our country, destroying the world. You understand? enforcing you to play by their rules. Not doing it. I'm not doing it. I've told before, you are entitled to your delusions, but you cannot compel me to live by them. Your claims that the complexity that we see in mankind is the random feature that lacks any design, any intelligence that just occurred over time, is so absurd that it doesn't occur anywhere in human existence. Gender-y is child abuse is sick, but the Lord said, whoa to those who call evil good and good evil, whoa to them, your willingness to fervently object to the insanity being asserted as normality, is your is one way where you communicate your love for your fellow man, because unlike these folks who have no idea what the consequences of their ideology are, you know. You know that if you persist in this way and you do not repent, you will literally have eternity to paint for indulging your delusions. The time is short brothers and sisters. We must be about our fathers business.

  8. 14:46

    Love requires truth. God said that. It's not my opinion of yours or yours. That's what God said. I'd like to take a minute and have a heart to heart with you. If you're able, place your hand over your heart. Can you feel it? My strong heartbeat reminds me that I'm alive. See it's the same for an unborn baby. The heart begins to form at conception, and at just three weeks is already beating. At five weeks, a baby's heart can be heard on an ultrasound. That's where preborn steps in, rescuing 200 babies every day from abortion by simply providing a mother with a free ultrasound and allowing her to hear her child's heartbeat and see their perfectly formed body in the womb. By six weeks eyes are forming. By ten weeks a baby is able to suck his or her thumb. Preborn needs our help to save these precious babies. For just $28 you could be the difference between the life or death of a baby. All gifts are tax deductible. To donate, just dial pound 250 and say the key word baby. That's pound 250 baby. Or donate securely at preborn.com. That's preborn.com. Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, III here. Guys we are in, upside down world. And I don't say this to provoke any type of trepidation, not in the least bit, not in the least bit, because God ordained us for this time. But we do need to understand the times that we're in. And so last week, well, let me take a few steps back.

  9. 16:46

    And so people talk about criminal justice all the time for different contexts. The question that is asked often popular discourses, did the punishment fit the crime? and I understand how that's used and television shows and things of that nature. But if you know anything about criminal justice, that's the wrong question. The question that needs to be asked is did the punishment fit the criminal? Because if you have two different people, they can make the same crime, but they have two different people with two different backgrounds, then should they have the same sentence? No, for example, if you have a person who let's just say is a simple drug offense, that's just to make it simple. You have a person that has a simple possession an arcotic like cocaine is something and it's there the first time offense should they receive the same sentence as a person in the same the same amount of of cocaine as well okay let's say two grams or less all right one person first offender simple possession of cocaine two grams or less no prior criminal history what should his sentence be all right let me say a guy, just making another guy found with less than two grams of cocaine. However, he has a long criminal history of possession of drugs and distribution of drugs, which indicate that he is a drug dealer. Both of these two parties have the same, are caught with the same drug and the same quantity. Should they both have the same sentence? Would say you, Mr. Rosa? Of course not, because the question is not does the punishment fit the crime. The question is, does the punishment fit the criminal? is the question. Now, of course, the type of crime, if it's a criminal context, makes a difference. The circumstances involved in the crime, but when we are trained to think the punishment of the crime, the question, that's not the relevant question. This is why you can have two different people with the same, the same criminal offense, with two different sentences.

  10. 18:50

    This is why the premise of much of the concerns about we need reform in a criminal justice system is completely irrelevant because they ignore, they try to compare two people. These two defenders have the same charge, but they don't tell you anything about the criminal history. They don't tell you anything about the context of the arrest. None of those things, because you cannot do one for one comparisons without knowing all of those details. Now, I'm saying that for this reason. last week this really struck me Lauren Handy was convicted in Washington DC for violation of the face act. The first time anybody has been sentenced under this charge and as well as conspiracy against rights. This is an incohate crime also which former President Trump has been charged in some of his trials by the way. Nobody's ever been sentenced to prison time under these charges until now. Lauren Handy was a part of an organized blockade at an abort at an abortuary in DC. The judge sentenced her to almost five years in prison. Five years in prison. And following her release from prison, an additional three years of supervised released. The facts indicated there was nothing violent that transpired. Lauren Handy was sentenced in nearly five years in prison.

  11. 20:54

    Now working in criminal justice, I have personally seen all kinds of crimes committed by people who have not been sentenced to prison term. A part of the argument was that, well, Lauren Handy's got caught doing this kind of stuff in the past. Usually, carceral sentences are reserved for what's called violent offenses. But what's happened is an ideological elevation of access to abortion clinics in our society to where the Department of Justice can be bothered. Last summer, 2020, the whole country's on fire, Portland, Oregon, these anarchists shut down, city blocks took over the police department. Have you heard any prosecution there? Have you heard of the Department of Justice being remotely interested in it? of course not because of ideology. Now Lauren Handy's crime according to the Department of Justice was that she was preventing women from being able to assert their lawful right to kill their own children. That's what we're talking about here. We are in up, upside down world. I told you guys before I am, I disagree with lawlessness. I will never support lawlessness. But not only did the judge feel to consider what was transpiring, what's happening in our society is that people, and I'm not saying this is a majority position of people in our country, but people have manned positions of authority in our country.

  12. 23:01

    In this case, Mr. Robinette, as well as Kristen Clark, who, by the way, lied on her documentation filed under oath before the Senate confirmation committee. And it's still very interesting because I'm pretty sure that the FBI does extensive background checks. And even if Kristen Clark had her state charge for domestic violence where she allegedly attempted to assault her ex-husband with a knife, had it expunged at the state level. There's no indication as far as I'm aware that she sought a federal expungement, which means, and there's this instance in all law enforcement officers and district attorneys and attorneys know you have what's called NCIC, which is a national criminal information database. So the question then becomes, did the FBI help her conceal this from the Senate confirmation committee? So it would have been a part of it. Otherwise, Christine Clark celebrated Lauren Handy's sentencing, made a quite pompous assertion, how we will protect the right when women to kill their children. Just, just, just, just, just stop and think about for a moment, guys. We often say things like, you know, modern man is far more advanced than their barbarian ancestors, really? Really?

  13. 25:02

    That's what I thought, barbaric civilization, Rip their young from limb limb from limb guys. That's us. That's us And minute our society You know when they hide behind they hide behind their dehumanization of the unborn child you see because that's not a person and then But they're lying. They know it's a person. They know it's a person That's why the murdering physicians That's just what they are they often at different stages of gestation after they've committed their homicide They have to make sure all the body parts are removed. You know who it has body parts people, human beings, organs, they know they don't care because evil is being called good. I've said it before, you have people like I'll never forget. She also never be president's daughter, you know, celebrating the right to slaughter the unborn child based on the financial benefit. It has provided for women in our country. I said, oh, snap. We would talk as prosecutors that murders for financial gain are capital murders. Oh, man, this is where we are. This is where we are. This is where we are. Then we have this, and this is not the only thing. I've been referring to Harrison Butker, the kicker from the Kansas City Chiefs football team, his speech. And I believe he gave the speech. I've been a Dictine College. Yes, and that's just in Kansas. Now, I'll just give you a little portion of it because he went... He just said everybody can get in this speech.

  14. 27:03

    You know, he condemned Pride Moth. He's Catholic. He was speaking at a Catholic university. Said Pride is a sin. He addressed IVF and surrogacy and I encourage people to become conversant in it because a pro-life position is that we don't endorse the intentional elimination of innocent human life, period. People ask me, well Abraham, are you an advocate for the death penalty? I'm not an advocate for the death penalty, but I'm not opposed to the death penalty at all. I agree that it should be employed judiciously and as sparingly as possible, but make no mistake about it. You cannot say that the scripture condemns the death penalty very simply. This is commandment says, d'Al-Sedad murdered and said d'Al-Sedad killed. That's an important distinction because the Hebrew word for murder literally means the termination of innocent human life. If a person is a homicidal maniac, they are not innocent human life. Biblically speaking, I'm not talking about my opinion or your opinion. I'm talking about the way that God describes it. So if you, if people oppose the death penalty, they cannot do so saying this based on biblical grounds. That is it in the Old Testament and even in the New Testament, you know, Romans chapter 12, the spirit of God through the Apostle Paul warns the believers in Rome that you don't take vengeance on your own, you don't try to become vigilantes, you don't pursue retribution. Vengeance is mine, says the Lord, right? That's in Romans 12. Then in Romans 13, the Lord explains by his spirit that he has instituted civil government as his minister of justice, a terror to the evil doer and a supporter to those who are righteous. And then he makes this statement for the minister, government does not bear the sword What do you think a sword was used for in the first century Rome?

  15. 29:05

    When filing nails, cutting mangoes, swords were used in verses of Rome the way that guns are used today. The Lord is affirming the reality that government is the Lord's means of, and then we say this plainly, righteous government, government functioning according to God's purposes for government, with a proper objective understanding of right versus wrong, which is why government is a terror to the evil doer and a supporter and endorser for the righteous. The Lord said government doesn't bear the sword in vain. So you don't carry out vengeance individually, vigilante style, temporal justice is applied by God's minister, civil government, rightly constituted. So miss me with that, yeah, but you're a Christian. Yes, I'm a Christian. The scripture supports this position. He went in on, Mr. Robinette, Schmovit, gender roles, all of it. Intentional baby murder, all of it. All of the society sacred cows, he went in on. But I want you to hear this portion of his speech. It's clip number three, clip number three, go. For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her location as a wife as a mother. I'm on this stage today, unable to be the man I am, because I have a wife who leans into her location. I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible. Because a girl I met in being class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all, homemaker.

  16. 31:38

    But that type of commentary people have lost their minds lost their minds I Mean this is absurdity from all sectors of society But goodness The NFL was his guy's name Jonathan Bean Jonathan Bean senior vice president for the NFL and chief diversity and inclusion officer He said, quote, Harrison butkers views were his own and do not reflect the league stance. He gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. We are steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger. This man is talking about his own wife. He's saying what your wife and daughter need to do. He's saying what's going on in his, but the NFL is going to disavow that. I got a lot of other things you could disavow NFL. You want to step away. whole lot of stuff you can step away from. But this guys, this is upside down world, man. For that, he's condemned. Wait till you hear the response of the Benedictine nuns. Oh my goodness. Y'all stay with me. The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at EFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here. Man, we're already in the third segment. Goodness. Well, as promised, the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, who are the nuns associated with the college where Harrison Buckner gave his speech, said this in response.

  17. 33:47

    quote, the sisters of Mount St. Scholastica do not believe that Harrison Butker's comments in his 2024 Benedictine College commencement address represent the Catholic Benedictine liberal arts college that our founders envisioned and in which we have been so invested. We sisters have dedicated our lives to God and God's people, including the many women whom we have taught and influenced during the past one hundred to sixty years. These women have made a tremendous difference in the world in their roles as wives and mothers and through their God-given gifts and leadership, scholarship and their careers." I hear some buttker didn't deny any of that. He simply said that it is women who are being told some of the most diabolical lies in society. This is a fact. This is a fact. Well, let me see it better. Diabolical, that is a subjective statement. However, he's not wrong. He's not lying. I did a deal not too long ago where I looked at, just did a search, you know, successful women, prominent women. In every list I found, it was only CEO of this, government leader of this, not one of them recognized and celebrated women for being mothers, not one of them celebrated women for being wives. Now what? I'm saying because we're living in upside down world, upside down world. We used to understand that the home was central to societal outlook. This is why because of the prevalence of the lies told to men and women, frankly, I start my show the way I do, recalibrating our concepts of full-time jobs versus part-time jobs. Because our society is primed to thrust everyone to external outward focus.

  18. 35:53

    Not every single instance, but generally in the majority of the areas where we see people attempting to assert governmental policy, it often is promulgated to address would retrench deficiencies from the homes that have become compounded to become to where home life deficiencies become standardized nationally. It is a formula for destruction when the majority of children born into our nation are born into families where the child is denied the opportunity to live with and be raised by their married mother and father. I mean, the evidence is writ large we have for this. Yet, our society has moved to the place to where someone who would dare assert that will be more than anything in our country after salvation in Jesus Christ is husbands who would marry their wives, commit themselves to them before they have children and the husband and wife commit to rearing their child or children together. that's become provocative. And our society that's become whoo, bigoted. I meant to mention to you, many of you may be aware of this, but over the weekend, Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi was a part of the helicopter crash as the Iranian contingent was attempting to return to Tehran from Azerbaijan. President Raisi was known as the butcher of Tehran. When it's far back as to the 80s, 1988 where he presided as a judge over the death of thousands of Iranian people signed off on extra judicial murders of Iranian citizens. Yet this is a nation that our country wants to restart the JCPOA. You know, we want to send palace of cash overnight to this kind of country.

  19. 38:27

    Boy, oh boy. The unfortunate reality is that many Iranians are celebrating Raisie's death, the butcher of Tehran, who by the way is president right now, you know, when Mr. Robinette wants to ease sanctions and send the six billion. Remember that? The six billion. And then the administration has to say, yeah, we sent them six billion dollars recently, but that didn't have anything to do with happen on October 7th in Israel. I'm gonna keep going. Yesterday on 60 Minutes, I just have to play it for you. Because if I, I know if I say this, some people are not going to believe me. Some people are not going to believe me. The Pope was on CBS, 60 Minutes yesterday. And he was asked the layup of layup of questions, in my opinion, he was asked what gives him hope? And to say he fumbled the answer would be an understatement. Listen to and watch clip number two. Go. When you look at the world, what gives you hope? Todhana. Everything. Una vie. Tachis. You see tragedies. Peru vie. But you also see so many beautiful things. I'm not a journalist. Una vie madre se roi. You see heroic mothers. Omer hoy. Heroic men. Men who have hopes and dreams. Women who look to the future. That gives me a lot of hope. A hint of kiddie vivis.

  20. 40:27

    People want to live. A hint of my love. People forge ahead. And people are fundamentally good. A fundamental point. Some of them are fundamentally good. What I say, my book. Yes, there are some rogues and sinners. But the hardest self is good. The heart itself is good. You heard it, you heard it. You heard it. You know. Of course he's at a translator providing the translation for him. Now, my my my children say, Uh-uh, daddy, did you hear what he just said? Who is this man? That's what my children would've said. Look, Bobby Laffen, because he knows my children. You know what they would've said, daddy did you hear that? He was asked what gives him hope, and he begins with a description basically, of the nature of man. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but my first go-to would've probably been the empty tomb, you know? It was the God-man who invaded human history and divided the human events timeline and who raised from the dead, conquering death. I asked what I would have went with, what gives me hope, and that he has dispatched his ambassadors to carry his gospel through the entire world and to the end of the age, making disciples of all nations. Now he said what gives him hope is people, because we are all fundamentally good. The heart itself is good. Whaaat? Now I read the Bible. Jeremiah 1790, meaning he comes to mind.

  21. 42:30

    The heart is deceitfully wicked. The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. That's what the Bible says. Romans. Uh, the apostle Paul. There is no one righteous, not even one. Yet this is what... Upside down world guys. upside down world. So this is this is what I'm talking about upside down world. The department of justice is a department as opposed to be about justice celebrates pro life people going to prison, not just convicted going to prison yet. All scores of other types of criminals go un-prosquuted, let alone. I mean, right now, in New York, you have an attorney, a district attorney who was literally said, you know, we're not going to put people in jail anymore. Violin, illegal aliens who have committed other crimes, they're not going to arrest them. Let them out. But if you're a pro-life protester, Harrison Butker has the audacity to say, you know what, you know, women and I said, I've been lied to my wife. She rejoices at the opportunity to to invest their time, talent, gifts, and abilities into our family. So many of the women in our society have been made to think having a home focus is beneath their dignity. What a lie society goes. Rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, NFL, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr, upside down world.

    And you have to poke what gives you hope. Oh man, humans, beings, man. We're all, we're all naturally good. Well, sure, sure, there are some rogues. Some rogue, some senators, you know, like a revision of the scripture for some have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But the rest of us, we're all upside down. The purpose of all of this is to diagnose the context in which the Christ followers have been dispatched by the King of glory into our current society. We see what's going on and I understand the temptation. understand the inclinations to want to respond immediately or if not exclusively when some with some form of natural reply. But if we start there and in there, we will not land where God would have us to live. Jesus said it himself is from the heart that come the evils of murder and fever and lying and deception. If we exclusively focus on the fruit and never get at the root. We're going to continuously have these weeds sprouting up over and over again. Now again, don't misconstrue what I'm saying. Certainly we should do the things we need to have the policy advancements. I'm grateful to God for those who work in those areas. But what has happened by in large, we've had an over compensation to where the focus is almost exclusively on policy issues but we're not addressing the heart. I've said before, man, we need people that are willing to man in, lanes of our society in all manner of fields with devotion to the King of glory. We need to have immediate response, midterm strategy and long-term strategy working all together.

    For the glory of God, I say, live locally to establish a beachhead, if you will, so that we can be fortified against the insanity at the national level, take advantage of the Republican form of government that I found is established, to where we have these laboratories of experimentation locally into where we're able to say, Hey, look over here. We're not going quietly into the light over here. Hey, look over here. We have an oasis of thriving in the midst of insanity. This is what the body of Christ had in the first century. Well, you're all types of socio-political tension, you know, Rome dominating Israel. You had, you know, the zealots, you know, you had the essence, you had all kinds of different groups and writing the midst of all of that. two tells us you have people from all over the world, including Arabs and Romans and speaking disparate languages but had found commonality in that they had given their lives to Jesus Christ. Right in the midst of that Joseph, the Levite, whose nickname was Barnabas, took some of his own resources to establish an oasis in the midst of all of that for the followers of the way. Big getting into the first century and as God would have it, what began with 120 In Acts, chapter 2, by the time we get to chapters 4 and 5, you have 20, 30,000 in short order. And it continues to grow. To where now Christianity is still the largest faith in the world. But what we need to understand is that the remnant, however, is a lot smaller than we recognize. But the beautiful thing about the Lord's remnant is that regardless of its quantity, it remains mighty. Because of the one who anchors his remnant. So, with all of that said, refuse to go along to get along, man. Stand up, ten toes down, square shoulder, chest out.
