    Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivery 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. executing. Wow. Wow. Guys, I am being reviled here in studio. They didn't even wait to get off the air. I'm on the air and they're going in on me already. I love them anyway. Thank you for tuning in today's program that I already mentioned. Oh, you too. Wow. Wow. Mr. Bobby a rrrrrrrrosa and Jay Mac are acting up today. Wow. Well, all right. Friends like these. Thank you for tuning into the program 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, your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you you to be intentional with this opportunity, this opportunity that God has afforded you.

  2. 2:12

    The Lord has commanded his people to execute his commission. He's revealed and I've referred to this numerous times in Acts chapter one. He says his disciples will be his witnesses in Jerusalem and Judea, Samaria, on to the uttermost part of the world. This was not all of the disciples home town with the Lord was revealing is that this would become the home base for ministry. And it would work outward from there. The principle that is communicated there is that you begin at home base. You reflect on what is provided for us in the Hebrew Scriptures in the book of Genesis. The first human institution, the first human institution that got established was the family with marriage at the center. there was an order of priests before there was an order of prophets before there was modern iterations of civil government. The family is God's primary institution. As such, the family is central to God's designs for generational propagation of his gospel. You and I get the privilege and opportunity to be a part of that very commission starting right in our own homes. So as you make your transition to your full time job, most of you, I know there If some people do it in an opposite direction and as I travel, I mean more and more people to see anybody listen to the podcast No, because it's on demand, you know, which by the way you can do that You can subscribe to the Hamilton corner as a podcast And you can be notified every time a new episode is available and you can listen to it on demand You can also like and subscribe to the Hamilton corners YouTube channel. That's our effort to be both both remnights and the remnant as well as engage in the general body politic, if you will, the general population, because you'll be amazed the amount of communication, some might call it hate mail that I receive, but I'm grateful to God for every person whom he allows me to encounter through this program.

  3. 4:36

    So as you're making your transition, man, remember what goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House. It's far more important, not because things in the White House are unimportant, but because you have no control over what they do in the White House. You have control over what you do in your house. To the word of God we go. Today we're going to go to 1 Chronicles 10. 1 Chronicles 10 verses 8 through 10. I will remind you that the Apostle Paul penned this by the Spirit of God in Romans 15 verse 4. Those things that are written in a four time are written for our learning that through patience and the hope of the scripture. Let me just turn it to a real quick. Romans 15, 4. We're going to 1 Chronicles, but I want to go to the scripture in Romans 15 first. Romans chapter 15 verse four, boom. Yes, for whatever is written earlier times was written for our instruction. That through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope. Paul's reference there, he's referring to same scriptures that Jesus used, same scriptures that he used. as they were pinning scripture, they referred to the Old Testament scripture. My simple point, and again, Constrator with Andy Stanley is talking about. We don't un-hitch from Hebrew scriptures. Oh my goodness, that is such a ridiculous assertion, an unbiblical. First Chronicles chapter 10, the entire chapter in this stage of the chronicles is presented really to basically show the sunset on Saul's reign and not just him, but also his family.

  4. 6:46

    You'll note that not only was Saul rejected as king of Israel, but none of his offspring ever served in a monarchial role in Israel and showing the sun rising on David, David's lineage. David first and foremost as the king of Israel, the unified nation of Israel, refers to him being in Hebron. Many of you may recall that David reigned as king of Judah, including the tribe of Benjamin for seven and a half years prior to becoming king of all of Israel. All right, there was civil war. All of this is in second Samuel in the beginning between the house of Saul and David. Saul's son is Bo Sheth, his descendant ish Bo Sheth and David had was beef, beefing when your moms ain't safe to walk the streets. All right. But the chronicler is presenting this in a summary fashion to show the decline of Saul in his household and the ascendancy of David. But then there's an observation made during notations of the very end of Saul's life. And that is where we're going to focus on today. Verse, Chronicles 10, verses 8 through 10. And it came about the next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. So they stripped him and took his head in his armor and sent messengers around the land of the Philistines And to carry the good news to their idols and to the people. They put his armor in the house of their gods and fastened his head to the house of Daegon. Now one of the major things is the chroniclers showing a great contrast between the Saul's end of his life and his mocking and placed in the house of the pagan Philistine deity day gone in contrasting that with what happened when the Ark of the Covenant was taken into the house of day gone by the Philistines and that's in first Sammy chapter five versus once before where day gone statue kept falling down they kept putting the backup and it'll fall down again and they're picking back up did it fall out again and not a head fell off the statute oh my make your head pop Pop or pop gold or weasel pop gold or weasel go that way to say pop Contrasting what happened then showing that a Philistines Even if you have temporary victory is not because you have dethroned the god of the Israelites Literally is explaining hey just because I had a temporary victory doesn't mean that you have overcome the god of Israel So that contrast is present with Saul's in recorded by the chronicle versus the Ark of the Covenant being in day guns Temple temporarily But this stood out to me as I'm reading this They sent messengers around the land of the Philistines to carry the good news and to their idols I'm telling I'll never get the first time I talked to my son My oldest son, Christian, about people worshiping idols and how my wife and I were in India and they had these various shrines all over the country in India I'm talking about.

  5. 10:23

    And people in some of the most impoverished places in India, they would bring food and things to the shrine. And you would see, it's just amazing. And my son said, wait, they're worshiping something that they have to clean? They worshiping something that they made and then they have to clean it. Daddy, I don't understand that. He said to me. They have to, they made it and then they have to clean it, but they worship again. Here the chronicle records that it is at this juncture in history where the Philistines were victorious over the Israelites. They had even overcome Saul and his sons. Didn't even recognize that he was a part of the slain until he was stripped of the slain from the battlefield. But then in doing so, they realized, oh, Saul and his sons are here. And so they send messengers to carry the news to their people, yes, but to bring the news to their idols. Like think about this, you have to inform, let me say it this way, they had to inform their God of certain, on certain things that have transpired. Hey, by the way, this happened. Which is of course a great contrast with the fact that the God that we serve is omniscient. There is nothing you or I can inform God about. He already knows. This is why I tell people all the time when it's recorded in Scripture. When God asks the question of a person in Scripture, it's never because he doesn't know the answer. He's always probing at something deeper. Adam, where are you? Ezekiel can't these dry bones live. It's not because he doesn't know the answer to these questions. He's probing deeper in the one to whom the question is directed. When you consider this observation and they note the Lord by His sovereign grace allows it to be included in our scripture that it's noted that the Philistine lowercase G required messengers to keep them updated.

  6. 12:31

    Their idol had to have a Twitter feed update. What's happening in the let's see what's going on in the very simple point what I'm getting at you guys know by now is because it's no God. You see it's no God. When you serve the true and living God, you don't have to send him status updates. Hey, by the way, because he knows now the commune that we enjoy, it is relational and is developing intimacy, but it's not because he's ignorant or deprived of some aspect of information. And it just began to resonate with me even deeper that false things in our society always require you to say it over and over and over. Oh, I'm a woman. No, you're not. Uh-huh. I'm a man. No, you're not. And I've said it before not to be insensitive, not to be unnecessarily provocative, but men don't have to take drugs to keep being men. Women don't have to take drugs to keep being women. You don't. But it's the false that requires a courier service. It's the false that requires informational updates. It's the false that require breaking news. And when we are facing the constant changes in the sea shifts in society, it's one of the things that I derive great comfort from is that we serve the God who changes now. That in an ocean of instability, he is an oak tree of stability to which we cling to, as the Psalmist said, the name of the Lord is a strong tower. The right just run into and are saved.

  7. 14:33

    I know people get shocked when I say, I am grateful to God to be alive right now. With all of the craziness, with all of the insanity, with all of the uncertainty, that I am grateful to be alive right now because the God that I serve appointed me for this time. And He's invited me just as He's invited you to be a part of His purposes for this time. And within His purpose for us in this time, that we serve a God that doesn't require status updates, is the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, true in living God. This June marks two years since the overturn of Roe vs Wade, but did you know that the number of abortions actually increased the following year? In 2023, the amount of abortions reached its highest level since 2012. Preborn continues to stand strong for women in crisis. Preborn is a ministry of compassion that showers women and babies with God's love, providing free ultrasounds to mothers to introduce them to the precious life growing inside them. When a mother meets her baby on ultrasound and hears their heartbeat, she is twice as likely to choose life. $28 sponsors one ultrasound and $140 helps rescue five babies. Your generous tax deductible donation will also help to provide women who choose life with assistance for up to two years. So please give your best gift to donate dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound 250 baby or visit preborn.com slash AFR. That's preborn.com slash a F R. Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton corner, an American family radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here. First thing I want to say in this segment is please pray for Iowa. They're facing disastrous flooding. A declaration of emergency, I believe has been issued for that area of our country, natural disasters, man, can be quite devastating.

  8. 16:45

    So please keep our fellow citizens in the state of Iowa in your prayers. We haven't done in a while, but I'm planning to get to calls today. So I want to give the number now. And I am going to tell you what we want to talk about simply because we haven't had a chance to talk to you in a while. I want to invite you just to share your assessment as to where things are in our country. the state of our country currently is kind of like your your own 30 second state of the union address. That's what I want to invite you to share the number to call us 888-589-8840. That number again is 888-589-8840. And we are going to open the phone lines in the third segment, but I want you to know now. So for those of you who want to be prepared and get the number down, I want you to be able to do that. Also, the Culture Proof Conference July 18th through the 20th, man, we are just a few weeks away from that. It will take place at Faith Baptist Church in Bartlett, Tennessee. Registration, however, ends for the conference June 30th. So you only have a few more days to get your registration in. Simply go to cultureproof.net to register. That is cultureproof.net. That's going to be an amazing and amazing time there. All right. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to reflect on the two-year anniversary of what I described as I have described as a modern goliath going down, and that is Roe vs. Wade, Planned Parenthood vs. Casey. Many people worked tirelessly for nearly half a century to see it happen. uh, for, yeah, I have 50 years.

  9. 18:47

    And there were many who never thought that they would see, um, role overturned. And many were not even expecting it. There were some who were so jaded that even though we had the leaked, the leaked draft Dobbs opinion that indicated role would be overturned. There was some that were still like, I don't know, which as an aside have they found? The person who leaked the opinion from the Yeah, I I do not believe that they do not they don't know who did it. I don't believe that at all If you're familiar with the way things work that at work at the US Supreme Court It's only a few people that would have had access to that draft opinion and one of those few would have been the one who leaked it The opinion ended up in the inbox of a reporter at political There's this thing called electronic mail. Have you heard of it? You got mail. That is very easy to track if you're willing It is now. This is my suspicion This is not a fact. This is my opinion But it is an informed opinion based on two things my familiarity with what the inner the workings of the US Supreme Court as well as my familiarity with law enforcement and its resources It's resource. There's no way you can't tell me that they cannot meaning that they're incapable of identify who it was that leaked that opinion. It seems to me they do not want to identify who did it. Again, my opinion. But getting back to the fact that we and our lifetimes have witnessed row overturned. It calls for us to collectively reflect on the fact that God rules and reigns and he intervenes in the affairs of men as he wills. When we least expected and I've shared before that that decision came along with several in that same week that were miraculous, that were miraculous. I understand there's more work to be done in creating a culture of life, people need more education.

  10. 21:22

    When I mean education, more understanding of what all transpires, but the main issue in our country, and I know this makes people very uncomfortable, but the reason why there is such a ravenous commitment to killing unborn babies in our culture, it's the combination of two primary resources. It is sinful sexual activity and money. That's what it is. I know that there are circumstances that are exceptions that occur, but those exceptions are not the rule, but we treat the exceptions, generally speaking, as if they are the rule to allow the rule to continue. And what is the rule that we have a sexually immoral society? And we have people who bake money off of that sexually immoral society. This is why this demonic lie perpetuated as law endured in our nation for as long as it did. Yet God saw fit. I mean, you just think about the unexpected. Let's take a few steps back. First of all, nobody expected, I won't say nobody, very few expected will ever be overturned expected. There are people that wanted it to happen and were working for it to happen and were praying before it happened, but there were a few who expected it to happen. Then you had this rise of Sheel Show, never be president, who the whole world told us it was inevitable. I mean, Barack Hussein told us, she's the smartest woman I've ever met. You know, he told us everybody, the New York slimes, everybody. It's a coronation. Then all of a sudden, what? Sheel Show, never be president, has never been and will never be president. on top of that and most people, many people like myself, I didn't expect Donald Trump to govern conservatively. I just knew what Hillary was going to do. I didn't know what he would do.

  11. 23:33

    And really, many people cast their votes in favor of former President Trump in 2016 election simply, he's like, we don't want her. We know we don't want her. Then you have the cascading events that nobody can manufacture. Ruth Bader Ginsburg does not retire during the Obama years, yet a vacancy opens on the court, several vacancies, and it's just the aligning of events. No person could have created these events. No person could have created these events. No individual. These are events that unfolded within the ambit of God's sovereignty is what I'm saying to you. Now, why am I saying that to you? I am saying it to you, because it is worthwhile. for us to stop for a moment and reflect on the fact that we have witnessed a national miracle. And we should turn our faces to the heavens and thank God for what he has done, which also is an indication of what he can do going forward. We should be informed by what has been recorded for us in scripture to recognize, Wait a minute, God is still on the throne, ladies and gentlemen. So we should live as if he is on the throne. We should rely upon him as if he's on the throne. We should take heed that when he says that repentance is what is required beginning with his people, we should take heed of that. The most desperate and enduring need for the United States of America is repentance.

  12. 25:34

    it is incumbent upon those of us who know God to convey that. It's very easy to get caught up in all kinds of things. And there are worthwhile things that are being done right now. There's a fight within the Republican Party right now over what will be what will continue to be the platform of the Republican Party. This happens and there are godly people that are in the trenches engaging in thank God that they are. nobody should be surprised that the enemy is on the full court press. He wants to attack everything, not just some things, everything. And so yes, there's a full court press going on to formally. I know we could talk about individual elected officials and the public department and all that, but to formally change the platform to reflect with a lot of people who identify themselves politically as Republicans, what they really believe. And this is why I've said numerous times we should never conflate Republican as the party with Christianity, because they're not the same. And there will invariably be a divergence at various points. One of the major ones is the issue of sexuality unsurprisingly. You know, there's a concerted effort to move the Republican party to embrace homosexuality. As it stands currently, the platform has not done so, but you better believe you mean there are people in different working to do that. But we need to reflect on the fact that God is still God. And so when we consider we're two years away and it seems like that was just yesterday, right? That Dobbs was decided it was two years ago two years ago God once again revealed himself in our nation. I know he's doing things all around the world, but in our nation he Reminded if for those who are paying attention. I said that way if we're attentive Reminded us that he's still on the throne. I just I didn't want to bypass That reality now in light of that and one of the major things and I was having a conversation today with one of the reporters in an American family news and and We if we are going to be effective in engaging our society We need to engage it as it is not as We would like it to be it's very easy to say well this shouldn't be happening and this shouldn't be happening and this shouldn't be happening which we may very well be right in saying this shouldn't be happening, but these things are happening.

  13. 28:23

    And we cannot duck our heads in the sand. We can't stick our fingers in our ears and go, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. You know, we don't see these things are happening. And be mindful of the fact that God has appointed us for this time to be as ambassadors in this time period. Like one of the major things that are happening, and it started before Rob was overturned was the movement to use medication as a primary means of killing unborn children. There are horror stories is what has happened to young women and who've needed help after ingesting these horrible medications and then the planned parents of the world would say, hey, that ain't a problem. You need to find your doctor. We had done with you. That's that has happened. A story that illustrates this and this is a story that's available on AFN.NET, AmericanFamilyNews.NET. Headline for the story is, Kinderbody Program teaches lesson to California parents. Your child's teacher is not your friend. That's the headline for the story. What is it talking about? I've got a few minutes to set this up. In the Encinitas Union School District in San Diego, California, this is an all-elementary school district. Parents learned last month about a Kinder Buddy program, which pairs fifth graders with kindergartners to learn about, that's right, Becky said, not medications, poisons. You're absolutely right, it's not a medication, it's poison. It's ingesting to kill. You're right, thank you for that correction, Becky. It is poison. Yes. But getting back to this story, this Kinder Buddy program pairs fifth graders with kindergarteners to learn about transgenderism. Now, the public only became aware of this because of a father, Carlos Encina's.

  14. 30:26

    He had a fifth grader in the school district and his fifth grade son came home complaining that he was paired with a kindergartner to watch a read-along video. The read-along video, and you can put the image up on the screen, Jeff. The read-along video was for a read-along video for a children's book titled, quote, my shadow is pink, in quote. So the video was a read along and the fifth graders was to watch it with the kindergartner. The description of the video on YouTube states, quote, it is a rhyming story that touches on the subjects of gender identity, self acceptance, equality and diversity, in quote. That's what the description says. Well, the father, Mr. Encina's, contacted his school's, his son's teacher and says, what is this craziness? The teacher lied to the father. The teacher told the father, oh no, no, no, no, it's not talking about anything, it's an engender. It's a read-along video that's giving him instructions for a coloring assignment about buddies who are playing with shadows. The father said, you must think, my name is Boo-Boo, first name, middle name, duh, last name, fool. So the father caused a ruckus in the school district, which culminated in that, guys, I want you to listen to me carefully. and I'm sharing this story for a reason. The father started spreading the word in the school. Other parents are realizing, oh, my child is in that kindergarten program too. The outrage resulted in a school board meeting where parents said we should be able to opt out of this kind of stuff. We don't want our children learning about this kind of stuff. We are Christians. We don't want this to happen. In reaction to the parents outrage, guess what happened? The school's principal and the school's parent teacher Association organized a quote, pink out the hate event, in quote, in response to the teachers outcry, the parents view the actions of the principal and the PTA as being an effort as an effort to intimidate them and to get them to keep them away from voicing their opinions. Here, the parents found out what was happening with their children voiced their concerns, but the principal of the school and the PTA said, man, we don't care what you guys think.

    Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrence are available at AFR.net. Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. We will open the phone lines this segment. The number to call is 888-589-8840. That number again is 888-589-8840. I'm welcoming you as a caller to provide your state of the union address. How do you perceive the current state of affairs in our nation? We haven't heard from you in a while, so I wanted to invite you to share that with us. And as callers are starting to line up on a continued sharing, what I was sharing before I went to the break, again, the number is 888-589-8840. Now, I share that story with you, and guys, truly, I could have a show with nothing but those kind of stories from all of the country every single day, every single day. Guys, as I mentioned previously, this is a full court press. It's a full court press. It is noted that Hitler was questioned when he was advancing his third Reich. You know, Hitler, what would you say to a person who opposed your position? Of course, we know he would kill them, but he responded, I would say, who are you? You are nothing. because your children are with me. The efforts are to convey the notions of brainwashing, desensitization, jamming, hyper exposure in order to present something as if it is a ubiquitous reality when it's really not, but for the purposes of creating that reality in subsequent generations. While that is happening on one end of the spectrum from school administrators and officials in that, that's one school, yes, but it's happening all over the country.

  16. 35:16

    You have this on the other side. The Scientific American, which is a publication that is famous for its long history, a publishing brilliant thinkers. This is what they're known for. This is what they're known for. Well, the Scientific American, which has its website, which states that it's currently owned by Springer Nature, which is a quote, global and progressive publishing group with the the goal of covering science, health, technology, the environment, and society while advancing social justice. The Scientific American took aim at homeschoolers. Surprisingly enough? Oh, yes. The Scientific American published a piece titled Children Deserve Uniform Standards in Home School. What was the cause of the element? I'll read from the article for you. quote, with few states tracking who is being homeschooled and what they are learning an untold number of U.S. children are at risk of a poor education or even abuse. The number of children being educated at home has been growing for the past few decades. No one knows about how much and that is part of the problem. Homeschooling is barely tracked or regulated in the U.S., but children deserve a safe and robust education." In quote, now just, just, just question, right? What is it about government education that makes you believe that children are receiving a quote, safe and robust education? If you listen to this program, a couple weeks ago we went through state by state, several states, the National Assessment of Educational Progress Statistics, pitting the per pupil dollar amount spent, the highest of which approach 30 grand per child per year, which if you know anything about his gauge, you know, most of that is not going to the child in the classroom, it's going to administrators, all right? But 30 grand a child per year, when the overwhelming majority of children in government schools are not even proficient, not even proficient in English and mathematics. I'm not talking about mastery level, I'm talking about proficient, but you see people like this, the scientific American, and again, their background causes people and their history causes people to think, well, surely they know what they're talking about.

  17. 37:55

    But if they were being honest, they would have to say that we're doing it probably not the best way if, of course, the stated goal is the true intended goal. But the peace goes on and I'm going to just cut the chase for the sake of time. They go on to say that what needs to happen is that the government needs to step in and regulate homeschooling, is that parents in order, you have to qualify to homeschool. Parents need to go through a background check, you see. because the parents could be a risk to the child. More of a risk, or at least the same level of risk as a government school teachers and administrators and so on. And families need to prove that they should be able to continue to homeschool because they need to submit to various forms of testing. Oh, you mean like the National Assessment of Educational Progress Testing? There are bills that overwhelm majority of these students and not even proficient in reading and mathematics. Yet you know that information, you know that these children not performing at proficiency levels, yet nobody is saying, hold up, stop the presses, we need to find a new way for safe and robust education. Now I'm presenting those two stories to you, kind of like an Oreo cookie, both sides. So on the one hand, oh, you sit in my high school, we gonna tell you what they're gonna learn. On the other hand, if you wanna try to teach yourself, we gonna make sure we regulate you. Guess who's trying to do it on both sides? I shared with you guys before, in as the schmovit policies are unfolding, Harvard University decided to hold a conference. That was a private conference. When one of the co-organizers, Elizabeth Barstellit, literally called for banning homeschooling. This is in 2020, banning it, why? Because of the threat it posed to the government. I told you how, Justice Stephen Breyer and the dissent in Carson v. Macon did the reason why government education should be subsidized with tax dollars because it is the primary mechanism for conveying the values that establish our modern society.

  18. 40:00

    It's the values transmission mechanism, the primary one. Now, we can talk about what it should be, but we need to assess what it is. I see these things are happening. And by the way, that conference in 2020, they canceled it. Once the public became aware of what was going on, and they rescheduled it and actually had that conference in 2021 and Elizabeth Bartlett espoused her ideas. We need to ban homeschool. and they highlight in an effort to support that idea individual isolated instances of abuse. Well, can I tell you how many instances of abuse I can point you to in the government school, but nobody seems to say, you know what? Because there's a little boy in Loudon County who came to school and told the people about the school was a girl, and the school let him go in the girls locker room in the bathroom, and he raped little girls. I'll say anybody say, you know what, we need to ban public schools. Never hear that, do you? They want control. promise we get to the phone lines will start in virginia where don is on the line down thank you for calling him a corner welcome to the program take a michael thank you for all that you do uh... one of my favorite uh... bobble readings is that do the right me when i'm josh it was crossing the the jordan river he said what's your ear you're born to fall you have plenty of gold and everything like that don't forget the lord and go back on to what you're talking about with the school and the indoctrination um... we don't have that in the school so the problem with america that i'm saying is that uh... but josh who is saying or god would tell him josh who to say once you're born to fall in that and you're all fat and happy don't forget the lord or what do you what do you feel about that my brother oh man thank you for your calling your comments i i agree with you i've shared with that before uh... presence of luxury Deuteronomy 8 is a perfect example of that.

    You know, you very rarely have people that are estranged from crying out to the Lord when they're suffering. But when you've eaten, as the scripture says, and your belly's a fool and you have gold and silver and it's multiplying and your flocks and your herds are multiplying, then do not forget the Lord. In terms of individuals, Satan doesn't care if you go to hell, having amassed a natural fortune in the temporal life or if you were impoverished. as long as you go to hell, that's what he wants. So if he can incarcerate you so to speak, I'm using that metaphorically with poverty and lack, or if he can incarcerate you with luxury and ease and comfort, he didn't mind which one he uses. And so I think your assessment is spot on because we have, if you assess our nation historically, we have turned our backs to our high and holy God. I mean, think about this. They're resolved in this controversy about the state of Louisiana passing a law to put the 10 commandments in classrooms, which by the way is not only the 10 commandments. It also includes a declaration of independence and the Northwest ordinance, which also is not going to be paid for with government dollars. Private donations that will provide the materials to comply with the law. But the 10 commandments being posted on a wall in classrooms is more controversial today than an LGBTQ IAP plus flag. That is an indication as to where we are as a society. So thank you for your call down and for your comments. We'll go next to Texas where Dawn is on the line. Dawn, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program. Hey, good afternoon, sir. So I truly believe that if the church doesn't turn and repent, I think we're going to see judgment in America. It truly do.

    I think that greed and money, fall the money, Planned Parenthood is showing what most of the medications that are going to these children are from Planned Parenthood and they're in the schools in California and they're trying to get into other schools. It's a shame but I think that we as a nation need to and as a church we need to turn and ask God for mercy. Thank you Dawn for your comment. Thank you so much for your calling your comment, you know, what you said is resonated with me greatly. I'm meeting and I have met and I continue to meet increasingly numbers of Christians who tell me that I've been attending church for this long, this many years, and I've never heard the term discipleship communicated from the pulpit. As bad, let alone never heard the term communicated from the pulpit, let alone have any idea how we're supposed to go about making disciples, even though that was commanded of us by Jesus. A lot of what you're saying, a lot of what you're saying. It's true. We'll stand Texas. We'll go next to Alfonso. Alfonso, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program. Thank you. My point, Abe, is basically I'm a conservative. I'll be voting for Trump. But I'm really questioning the election, a federal election process. I know that we're going to have a lot of mail-in ballots and a lot of illegal immigrants voting in different large democratic cities. And I know that a lot of immigrants are probably gonna get riled up and they're gonna be told, you really need to vote for Biden because the Trump gets in office, you're gonna be deported.

  21. 46:04

    Again, just questioning the election process and how that old is gonna turn out. And I guess my final point is it's only God's hands then whatever that might look like, obviously I'll have to stand by that. Well, Founzo, thank you for your calling your comments. I think there are a lot of people in the country that share what you said. There was a lot of conversations about 2020, election irregularities, violations of state law, and all of that. But what has happened, what has been done to address those things, to remedy those things, And some of the states that have done things, there are states that really historically have been more, you know, Republican friendly. But in the states that are often swing states, many of those efforts have gone in the opposite direction. I've shared right here in the program, the state of Nevada after 2020 went to a mandatory automatic meal and balloting system. It affected the primary race in Nevada at that time. Nikki Haley was still running as a Republican. into where you basically had two separate sets of votes. And Nikki Haley didn't qualify for one because of the mandatory mail out balloting phenomenon. You had a separate Republican process. So my simple point in saying that is that a lot of people shared those sentiments, but I would add to that what you said at the very end. In light of, and in some instances, even in spite of, God remains sovereign. And so I am preparing my heart, not only for election day, but for what transpires thereafter. Because unless the Lord returns, or unless the Lord calls me home, I'm going to still be alive in America after the election. So what would the Lord require of me then? And I would say to you, what would the Lord require of you? I have so much more stuff I wanted to get to, wanted to get to some stuff about Israel, wanted to get to some stuff, Jake Tapper was supposed to moderate the presidential debate on the 27th, but he's been sued and seeing information.

  22. 48:13

    How would that impact his role as a monitor in which he is accused of defaming Mr. Young and his company that was transporting Afghans from Afghanistan during the horrible debacle of a withdrawal? Jake Tapper and him said they were working in the black market and they said, well I'm not a billion-dollar defamation cases on the table.
