    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. Good evening, everybody. Oh, welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I am your host, Abraham Hamilton the third. Mm, mm, mm, mm. This is craziness. This is craziness. We are living in an unprecedented moment in our nation's history that goes without saying that's Captain obvious for the moment. Abraham Hamilton the third is my name joined by the corner contingent, Mr. Bobby, right across from me. To extraordinaire, the real Jay Mac is in the screening room and we're ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part time jobs, will you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome? And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding that what goes on in the White House or in a major political parties convention or what may happen And another political parties convention is not more important than what goes on in your house.

  2. 2:15

    Let's say that again. What goes on nationally, internationally in the White House is not those matters are not more important than what goes on in your house. In fact, we must develop the muscle memory to refuse to allow those types of things to divert us away from what should be practically primary in our lives. Much of what has transpired in our nation can rightly be described as deficiencies in the home exported to the national level. And what I mean by exported to the national level, I should say it better, cumulated, cumulated to the national level, unprecedented national territories where we are. camel Harris is on TV right now with live press conference speaking from it's the Biden Harris now the Harris dot dot dot presidential campaign headquarters for now I should say for now and I'll explain why I'm saying for now on that point but we are living in precarious times however if we would persistently be a people that cling to our Lord and that we are clinging to His Word and navigating His scripture, we would be able to see the moment that we're in with far more clarity, I believe, than simply being regaled with kind of a news consumption whiplash. To the Word of God we go. Isaiah chapter two is what we want to go. Isaiah chapter two, verses seven and eight is where we're going to focus. to so much more than can be said, but I want to set this up appropriately.

  3. 4:16

    The prophet Isaiah lived from about 6, I'm sorry, 767 BC to about 681 BC. He began prophetic ministry at about 740 BC, Isaiah chapter 6 verse 1 tells us that in the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, that records a timestamp on Isaiah's participation in public prophetic ministry. We also know from Isaiah chapter one verse one, that Isaiah the son of Amos, administered during the reign of numerous successive kings of Judah during the reigns of King Uzziah, Jotham, A-Haz, and Hezekiah. All right, their monarchies help us to see the duration of Isaiah's prophetic ministry. It's another source, another biblical, evidentiary source for the duration of Isaiah's public prophetic ministry. In addition to that, the purpose, the overarching purpose for the entire book of Isaiah is to call Judah to repentance and to proclaim salvation through Messiah. Yes, sure, how much he is. I want you to note though, the time period I referred to before. God in his divine providence sent Isaiah and other prophets with whom he was a contemporary. But particularly we're talking about Isaiah today, sent Isaiah to minister in Judah during a period nearly a century prior to Nebuchadnezzar showing up, nearly a century prior to Nebuchadnezzar showing up because God is a just God.

  4. 6:29

    Before Nebuchadnezzar came as an agent of God's, I would describe it as a more cataclysmic judgment. He sent Isaiah to warn and to call the nation to repentance and identify very plainly why it was necessary. Isaiah chapter two, verses seven and eight. Isaiah says something very similar to what Moses warned the Israelites, decades prior in the book of Deuteronomy concerning how they should respond in the times of their prosperity prior to entering the Promisedly. Oftentimes people think of the work of the devil as simply a means of impoverishment or imposition of lack. But I want to tell you something, That man's Satan doesn't care anything about your financial status, your material possessions, the quality of your life in the here and now. What he wants is your eternal destiny to be thwarted. I've explained numerous times the two pronged strategy of the enemy to keep as many people as possible from receiving the gospel, if possible. If not work in a deceptive maneuvering, even systematizing the maneuvering to persuade professing Christians to be as feckless and as ineffective as possible while professing to be believers, to say differently, to keep you and the faith you profess to have from impacting anyone beyond you. One of the ways he endeavors to do that is by manipulating people in positions of luxury. I call them prisons of luxury, silk-lined cells. Isaiah picks up on a similar theme in Isaiah chapter 2 verses 7 and 8. And this is what the prophet Isaiah said, their land has been filled with silver and gold.

  5. 8:44

    And there is no end to their treasures. Their land has also been filled with horses and there is no end to their chariots. Their land has also been filled with idols. They worship the work of their hand. That was their fingers have made. Do you notice that? What do you notice there? Through Isaiah, the Lord is confronting the fact, man, they're materially prosperous. The land is full of silver, materially prosperous. The land is filled with gold. So prosperous, there is no end to their treasures. Not only do they have economic prosperity, they also have military innovation. There's the land filled with chariots. There is no end to the cherish. You have to understand the development of the Old Testament time period, the development of the technology of the chariot combined with the multiplicity of chariots was a military advantage. You go from people who have horses and now you have chariots. It's almost like the tanks being introduced into warfan. And of course, the security of empires at the time would be a combination of the material prosperity and the military innovation. You know, you got the money and you got the, and you got the war making mechanism. All right. You need that sound familiar? But then the Lord says, yes, and with all of that, guess what else they have? A land full of idolatry. A land filled with idolatry. I've been saying and I've been repeating in order for us to assess what makes nations great. We should navigate that biblically. 5 verse 14, 34, right? Just in this exultionation sin is reprosated. Any people in that I want to be clear in what I'm saying, I'm not talking about having some external governmental source trying to compel people's conduct.

  6. 10:46

    I am talking about the heart conditions of the people. I am talking about a people that have character and integrity with the love of crisis to evident in how we conduct ourselves. Jesus explained it very plainly. What is the greatest command? I'll give you too. Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your might, with all that you are. Secondarily love your neighbor as yourself. I've said numerous times, evidence of the Holy Spirit's residence we refer to as the fruit of the Spirit. There is no way for you to truly be in Christ, yet the fruit of the Spirit is absent from our lives. Love for one's neighbor is a byproduct as a result of one being captured by Christ. I've said numerous times when you have been captured by by the Lord you move from giving offerings to being the offering. To where the heart of God becomes your heart. The scripture reveals a reality that we can have even in a context where material prosperity abounds simultaneously the same people that enjoy that prosperity. Now we're adding our context, unimaginable freedoms, unimaginable access. At the exact same time that material prosperity exists, you can be rife with hearts that are putrid before and high, a high and holy God. I meant to, I didn't even get to say that, with the culture proof of conferences this week. Oh my gosh, what an amazing conference. Among all of the amazing things that were shared, Dr. Jason Lyle and Brother Israel Wayne pointed to the fact that do you realize in America we have had, oh my goodness, the types of materials we have access to, we have Bibles, ready access to Bibles. We have, you know, Christian, radio, Christian, television, seminaries, colleges. We have all of these things all in combined with all of this freedom.

  7. 12:51

    What have we done with it? What have we done with it? I never forget, and I told this story at the conference, that the church I grew up in my home church in New Orleans, we had some sisters, many of them retirement age, but they committed themselves to the Lords, and they committed to be missionaries. And we were connected with a full time missionary in China who really operated house church networks. And so these sisters committed themselves to get the Bible to the brotherhood in China. But you know, that's a crime in China. You could actually face a death penalty. And I'm talking late 90s, early 2000s when this is happening. And I saw these sisters strapping, probably shouldn't say this out loud, but strapping Bibles in their bodies to smuggle them in because they couldn't put them in a luggage to be searched. They were strapped into their bodies kind of like frankly the drug dealers strapping drugs on people to bring them into America from other countries. But they would smuggle the Bibles into China and I'll never forget the individual house church would tell the sisters from our church. No, no, we don't we don't need too many just give us one Bible per house church and they committed for every family in that church that they would hand copy their own copies of it and they didn't want to race resources so that other brother and it would would have access to those scriptures. But look at in our country, God. In our country, many people's Bibles simply collect dust on the show. We cannot think that God would grace us with so much material prosperity, so much liberty. But look at what we've done with it. And God stand by and shrug his shoulders. Guys, we are entering a precarious, we have entered, not entering, we have entered a precarious place in our nation because ultimately, I believe with every fiber of my being, God is trying to get our attention. God is trying to capture our attention to say, wake up almost like Dap and School Days. Wake up! Because there's a dullness, an dryness, and a putridness that is set in, and that he's trying to call us out from.

  8. 15:00

    You've heard a lot about saving babies on this show. That's because it's important to me personally. And let me just be frank with you. We need to save them. That's why we've partnered with Preborn, the nation's leader in introducing mothers with unplanned pregnancies to their babies. And once she hears that heartbeat and sees that precious life growing inside of her, she is twice as likely to choose life. Now that's a miracle. But quite honestly, if we don't save them, who will? Preborn receives no government funding, so their work is completely dependent on us. Preborn has rescued over 280,000 babies, and that's not all. They provide love, support, and counseling for up to two years for free, saving lives and souls. One ultrasound is just $28 or $140 helps to rescue five babies lives. Abortion doesn't stop, so we can't. Together, you and I can save lives. Just dial pound250 on your cell and say the keyword baby, that's 250 baby, or go to preborn.com, that's preborn.com. Shiting light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton corner on American family radio Welcome back to the Hamilton corner Abraham Hamilton the third Here So Sunday yesterday afternoon, Mr. Joseph Robin at Biden Who by the way nobody in the United States of America has seen publicly since last Wednesday? I find that very interesting at about 45 p.m. Eastern time. It was a press conference calls in reporters. No, he's a speech on national television like LBJ data 1968. No, a letter is posted on the artist formerly known as Twitter, not on White House letterhead. Not on any White House stationary. Kind of random one page where Mr. Robin Ed announces he is no longer seeking reelection to the office of the presidents. Many of you who have been listening to this program for quite some time, you know, three years ago, and this is crazy. The guys and I were talking about this in the studio. Three years ago, I told you soon after the inauguration that Mr. Joseph Robin Ed Biden would not be the 2024 Democrat Party's presidential nominee. Some people ask me, how did you know that? I don't claim to have any Gnostic secret knowledge or anything. The unfortunate reality is I've been studying the evil of partisan politics and particularly the Democrat party for quite some time, that the only efficacy that Mr. Robinette presented to the Democrat party was to provide cover combined with schmovit to halt orange man bad. Now, the first thing I want to say, and it's amazing how I mean if you if you're not if you have not been convinced prior to now that the legacy mainstream media is nothing more than American Proveda. I don't know what else to tell you because on a dime on a dime the same media has been running cover for this man. I mean alternative media outlets, conservative media outlets I have on my program have been saying for the entirety of the Biden administration that this man isn't the lights might be on but I don't think anybody's home, certainly not to be able to navigate the rigors of the U.S.

  9. 19:13

    presidency. The letter that was published only said that Mr. Biden was resigning, well not resigning, was ending his pursuit of reelection, but affirmed that he would continue to function in the office of the president. Number one, if you are not fit to run for the presidency, how can you be fit to be president? I've said this and I will continue to say this. Why isn't anyone attempting to inquire in our national media outlets, these billion dollar corporations with their reporters? Why isn't anyone trying to figure out, yo, I get November. Word, you're not running for election? Cool. Where's the nuclear football? Where's the nuclear football? Some of us have had the experience, as your parents might have aged, they've just demonstrated a deleterious mental capacity to where you've had to do something. What nuclear? Take the car keys from them. Why would you do that? Because them having the car keys presents a risk of harm to them, as well as anybody else who may be around when they drive. Is there no one? In our legacy media, no one with a White House press pass, no one who's willing to ask the question, where's the nuclear football now? Anyone? See, again, I get November.

  10. 21:14

    Well, let me ask you this question. If you were, say, I don't know, let's say, shmie, lingpin, for example, and you just happened to have this idea the way you wanted to overthrow the United States of America. If you want our America's enemies, when would you find would be a more opportune season to make your effort to strike? It's mighty funny that we have an assassination attempt on former President Trump. And then all of a sudden you had this massive cloud strike. Some may say, oh, all of these computers all around the world just stopped at the same time. Coincidentally, is it a coincidence? It could be. I do find the timing interesting, especially understanding that warfare these days are not like it used to be with information technology and cyber infrastructure, all of these things that are happening. Why is there not more of a concerted, impalable query as to who is running the White House now? What, how about this? And this is where again, I'm not trying to offer them free campaign advice, but I will say it's a fool's errand for Mr. Trump to try to make this about the person Joe Biden or whoever it is going to be the Democrat nominee. What they need to do is focus this squarely on the entirety of the Democrat party's apparatus because not only is Joe Biden unfit to run for reelection, he's not fit for the presidency, But here's the not so secret secret. He's been this way for the last three years. Nope, nobody thought, hmm, Robert Herr, sat him down for an interview, decided the man was incompetent to stand trial.

  11. 23:20

    Yeah, you know, no queries. Aw, shucks, he's just, Joe Scarborough, he's the best he's ever been. The entirety of the news apparatus, the media complex and the figureheads Democrat party all the way down, all insulated. And this is what I mean by insulated. If you were listening to this show and other conservative outlets, you weren't surprised when you saw Joe Biden on stage on June 27th. But I've talked to people who don't listen to the show. And there's, man, they had no clue. They had no clue, no clue that Joe Biden was this demoralized. And so all of the media with the McCauley-Caulkin Home Alone Shock face that's not the book cover because they want to keep their propaganda machine going because there are lots of people who still listen to them Unfortunately, I was heartened to know that Speaker-to-house representatives has Began the conversation on Capitol Hill But wait a minute if he's not fit to run for reelection. He's not fit for the presidency now this needs to be pressed pressed Yet the same media that concealed this from much of the American public that now turned on a dime to start to say Oh, Joe's got to go Joe's got to go Joe's got to go The same media can't be bothered to ask any questions about okay, but who's calling a shot now? How long has he been like this? Did this just happen overnight? How many meetings did I keem Jeffers have in the White House to where he wasn't talking to Mr Biden Mr Biden was in a basement eating his ice cream and he was talking to Jill Biden and he got you know, you know So Barack Obama, you may not be physically in the room, but he has an earpiece set. It's calling the shots from the basement.

  12. 25:22

    There's a different front man. The man said this himself. The man said this himself. The American people are old and explanation. How long have these people known this? What motivated them? What incentivized them to try to keep it covered from much of the American people? Why was there such a coordinated strategy to say, oh, all of these videos that show Mr. Biden that doesn't know where he is? or cheap fakes and deep fakes, kind of like the same way the FBI just happened to contact Mark Zuckerberg and say, Hey, there might just be this thing that's Russian disinformation. It's a laptop at the same time. Twitter was contacted by the FBI and they're working together. It doesn't strike you as funny that half of the American electorate had no clue about Hunter Biden's laptop before they went to the polls in 2020. And then I, y'all, shocks two years later. Oh, by the way, hard to bite and lapse, and laptop is real. I know a lot of people, a lot of people are saying that, oh, this is just a disaster to Democrats. Not so sure. I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure it's not part of their nefarious plot. Next thing, and I want to take you guys down a little walk down memory lane. It's by the fact that we are a Constitution of Republic of Democratic features, at the genius of the American founders was first, the diffusion of power at the federal level, but also a strategy to keep national government small, because remember, they were attempting to escape the tyranny of King George, right? So we have these individual laboratories, individual experimentation, to where we're not only a government of the people by the people, that government derives as just powers from the consent of the government, but the government that has the most direct interface and impact upon American citizenry is the one closest to the citizen.

  13. 27:32

    That is what the Founders established, which is why Article 4 of our Constitution guarantees to every American citizen a Republican form of government. Nevertheless, the Democrat party has pounded its chest to say, we're the party of democracy. We're the party that we so much so. Remember? Remember how that democracy worked out for Bernie Sanders in 2016? We don't care how popular you may be Bernie. We don't care how unpopular she or she'll never be president may not be guess who we were willing with. Remember that in 2020. Remember that? Everything was off until Jim Clyburn came to the floor. Right? But think about this last cycle. It expressly prohibited any other person from effectively running as a Democrat, completely eviscerated the primary process by and large. Nearly 15 million people cast their votes for Mr. Robinette, because you know, you know, he was, he's best, he's ever been, he's fit, he's ready to run, all of this stuff. And then, overboard. And then the part of democracy. And I mentioned the letter, which was put out first, and then the letter was followed up by a tweet from Mr. Biden. Jeff, would you go ahead and first, let's put the letter up. Jeff, go ahead and put the letter up. Put the picture of the letter up. There, I'll let everybody see. No, no, no, no, no White House letterhead No White House stationary There's a lot of people saying, you know who wrote the letter and all that kind of stuff, but I'm just I'm not even getting to that This is the letter hit hit hit X first, which is just so interesting then Followed up with the tweet go ahead and put the put the mr. Biden's tweet then in the tweet that happened now Mr. Biden throws his endorsement for Kamala Harris That wasn't in the letter though now I can look you say what you want I find it very curious you're gonna announce you're not gonna run for reelection the most obvious question is well Then who's gonna take your place, but that's not in the letter though the letter you have far more space To communicate what it is you want to communicate yet you go to the the artist's formula known as Twitter.

  14. 30:28

    He said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, by the way, I'm my full endorsement for Kamala, which by the way, a little inside pool. There are two states. Well, let's go back before you get to the two states. Because of our election finance laws and election finance rules, there's only one person who can utilize all of the money that has been raised under the Biden-Harris ticket. That would be Kamala Harris. which I mentioned to you before if there's anybody else who becomes a Democrat standard bear, which don't, don't, don't, don't, I'm misconstrued what I'm saying. I know these people are unbound by rules. I know that. I know even if they end up with somebody who's not Kamala Harris and they can't use all of the finance raise for that person, I know that they have the nefarious funding, dark money groups that will create a super pack as quickly as possible or use an existing super pack that the campaign wouldn't have the money directly, but the super-back was using money. I, you know, but that presented a complication for anybody other than Kamala Harris becoming the Democrat nominee. But then you have this, and which is still an issue. Of course, rule schmules, right? Two states, Nevada, Wisconsin, they have state election laws that prohibit replacing a person on the ballot. Unless, unless the person was on the ballot before died, one of the states has an officially diagnosed mental debilitation phenomena on that note just briefly. Where's your body getting? Why haven't we seen him since last Wednesday? They said he had the schmovin, huh? The doctor came out with something. He took his tenth dose of Pax Lovin, eh? the effective vaccine he's got shmover again and some crazy things that are happening and again if you plan on continuing in the office of the presidency you don't think the American people should get an explanation from you that is if you can provide an explanation or is it your inability to run for re-election also shown your inability to occupy the whole office any longer.

  15. 33:01

    The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute commentaries are available at aFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, III here. Now we've been talking about this craziness that's happening in our country and discussing the realities politically, which is a worthwhile conversation. But I want to take a few moments now to zoom out from that because one of the reason one of the issues that I find is that we've entered a place where there is such a palpable dullness that we don't we don't recognize what's happening. I started out in the book of Isaiah and Isaiah chapter two and the Lord was warning the people of Judah a century and more prior to Nebuchadnezzar showing up. The guys you're wealthy and wicked. You have All of these idols, yet you maintain a form of Godliness. Hence, the Lord's expression, I can't endure solemn assembly and wickedness in a much of our country is the same thing. We have segments of our society that are celebrate. Yeah, you know we were in the club last night and yeah, you know, but you know, we gotta be in touch in the morning and we misconstrued God's patience with God's passivity. When the fact is, it's not as if God is slack concerning his promises, he's just long suffering, not wanting anyone to perish. But many of Mr. Shrew God's kindness for weakness.

  16. 35:10

    Could it be that the Lord is speaking to us in the midst of all of this? You have all of this craziness, this evident palpable wickedness where you can have people who would say, yes, we're, we're, we're, and they love these word democracy. We're the marksman. the most undemocratic folks, deep state, state operating, swamp dwelling, working with the talking snake media, and they know it. That attempt to continuously, continuously pull a ruse on American people. But then on the Republican side, you have these stalwarts of freedom, but we'll have a convention. Well, we're gonna just change the platform with no debate. We know y'all don't like what we're gonna want to do, but we're gonna just do it anyway. So you have the Republican party for the first time in 40 years to abandon their previous positions on the sanctity of human life. And I'm not talking about the implementation mechanisms of the policies. I'm just talking about the posture being changed. Then you have and I know you don't have many people talking about this. But going on and put that that that post up of Mr. Moran, Jeff, go ahead on and put it on the screen. You got the one I'm talking about? Charles Moran, president of the law, cabin Republicans. I'm not even going to get into it. Wow, I will get into it. They took their name because, you know, Abraham Lincoln was born in the law cabin, you see. And Abraham Lincoln was actually the first presidential candidate on the newly formed Republican Party. What was the primary Republican Party plank under Abraham Lincoln? The abolition of slavery. And so you have these people, the law cabin Republicans who are, as he says in his post, who have been working for decades to cause a Republican party to become LGBTQ friendly because you see they see their pursuit of freedom the same as a ramling his commitment you see you have the Republican version of the same light has been presented by the left and then Charles Moran celebrates on July 15th that was last Monday at the RNC the approval of the Republican Party platform at the RNC is an historic moment for both the GOP and for our country law cabinet Republicans have been working for decades to help build a more inclusive GOP and update the parties.

  17. 37:43

    I'm sorry, update the platforms outdated and out of step language opposing marriage equality. An issue to vast majority of the country and a majority of Republican voters support. That hard work has finally come to fruition. The platforms is a powerful message to LGBT conservatives across the country. I'm just telling you plainly, LGBT and conservative is oxymoron. Then he goes on to say the party platform change makes clear the voters that the Republican party welcomes all and is looking optimistically to the future instead of cynically rehashing old debates of the past. I'm just gonna say this, brothers and sisters. God's design of his institution, merits his God's institution. God ordained the marital institution before there was ever a modern iterations of civil government. It is a pre-political institution. Yet you have this man celebrating saying, oh yeah, we're looking optimistically to the future, not cynically rehashing old debates in the past. In his mind, that's an old debate of the past. The truth of God's word is truth for all generations and all times. Yet, this is happening on the Republican side, guys. The reason why I'm presenting this, you can take it down, Jeff, is because you studied the book of Isaiah, one of the evidences of God's judgment upon a nation, was that you had corruption in the leadership. In fact, Isaiah said, your leaders are false gods, they lead you astray and confuse you. As they are described as you have boys as your princess. Not rejecting the fact that you may have young kings, you had a king Josiah, for example, was a boy king who led to reformation ultimately later on. What the Lord is communicating is that you have immature, unqualified people, yet they're in positions of authority.

  18. 39:49

    That's not the only thing you continue on. And a lot of people like to talk about the reality of illegal immigration, but they don't think about it from spiritual terms. Isaiah three includes a scripture that says foreigners devour your land in your presence. A lot of people want to debate policy, but wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Could God be trying to show us something? Isaiah 59 in the halls of justice and judgment where you would expect legislation and righteousness to transpire, but Isaiah says, but truth has been hurled down. Truth is falling in the street. The consequence of truth falling in the street is uprightness cannot enter. Then it goes on to say, and in those who would avoid evil, make themselves a prey. After do you see that happening today? People that are show up, sit in silence, are just praying at these murder mills, yet these are the ones that the Department of Justice is prosecuting, trying to put in jail. Yet the criminals that are running roughshout over our society, the elven brag and then was, ah, let them out. Let them out. And people would limit our assessments, limit our analysis to, ah, it's just been, look how many millions have entered our country illegally instead of, wait a minute, is something else going on here? So we have wicked leadership. We have judgment, justice turned backwards. One of the other evidences, the scripture pointed out disordered families. And Romans chapter one, second Timothy chapter three, in the midst of the Lord highlighting all manner of high level wickedness, sinfulness, murder, sexual immorality, then the Lord throws in there and disobedient to parents. Wait, what? A murder, sexual immor, godless haters of good haters of god, disobedient to parents.

  19. 41:53

    Guys, we live firmly in an era where people who see children in public are surprised that they actually are obedient to their parents. I'll never forget, board the plane, going, flying west. You should have saw the trepidation on the flight attendant's face, because I had the audacity to get on the plane at that time. Marie and I only had four children. It was first feared and then it turned to anger. And then when we landed, the flight attendant came to me. Your children are so well behaved. I didn't even know they were on the plane. You know why? Because what they've been exposed to, was just so beating children. And what I want to talk, when I'm trying to point out to you, is not just individual instances of these things. What the Prophet Isaiah confronted was these iterations of wickedness being normalized and palpable in a cumulative way to such a degree to where it was standardized in the society. We are living in a day where people are shocked when they say obedient children in public. And so many just laughing, hey, you know how children are. You know how children read the teens. You know, I searched the scriptures and I read in Ephesians 1, Children obey your parents and the Lord. For this is right. Honor your father and mother. I've never seen in scripture a teenage escape clause. Children, honor your father and mother unless you turn 13. And I've never seen so why have we adjusted to accommodate that? Disordered families. As the chapter four verse one, the prophet Isaiah says, seven women will lay hold of one man saying, we'll eat our own bread, wear our own clothes. Only let us be called by your name. Take the approach from us. You read studies.

    the percentage of the American population of never married adults is continuously increasing. Isaiah 4-1 is identifying we have a dearth of marriage eligible men for our women. Now this says nothing about the vocation of singleness. God tells us in his word that there's a vocation of singleness, but the vocation of singleness is accompanied by the gift of celibacy. You can't talk about God called you the singleness if you have not been given the gift of celibacy. And when you understand the first command God gave to mankind fruitfulness multiplication replenishing the earth and subduing it for the majority of people marriage is ordained for us by God But we have this dearth do I need to get into the country wide increasing phenomena of children born into fatherless Usually and sometimes without a mother but usually as a fatherless home guys, that's not just A coincidence. A feature of modernity. Couldn't be the God is trying to get our attention. How is something to you that he is? That he is. Ungodly corrupt leadership. Corruption in the places where we should be able to secure justice in the halls of justice. The scripture tells us God is the one who established boundaries. Act 17 for he determined the boundaries of our habitation. The word boundaries in Greek, that literally means fixed border and the times which we would live. Yet for our land to be overrun by illegal immigrants is not merely a failure of policy. Don't get it twisted. Surely it's a failure policy, but it's not only or exclusively or solely a failure of policy. Disordered families, not just individual instances of it, but it being normalized societally. There was a time and it's not to condemn anybody but shame on anybody, but there was a time when the society looked at divorce as problematic.

    not so anymore, not so anymore. What then are we to do? As I've said repeatedly, I'm going to continue to say, I believe the first order of business is repentance. Scripture also says judgment begins at the house of God. I believe the church and our country must repent. I don't want to paint with a broad brush. I know the Lord has preserved a remnant of faithful believers to himself, but I'm talking about by and large having unimaginable freedom in world history. We want to understand how blessed America is. We want a few nations in the world where poor people in our country gain weight. Guys, that don't happen in other countries, man. That doesn't happen in other countries. The freedom that we have enjoyed in this nation, man, people in centuries prior could not dream of that. Let alone the freedom that we've had to serve the Lord. There was a passage that used to come to our church in New Orleans. You would talk about how the U.S. has sent the most missionaries into the world and world history, but now the nation of missionaries has become the mission field. Many in our nation have been manipulated by our freedoms. We've allowed our luxury and our abundance and our freedoms to cause us to be lazy and apathetic. And dare I say, as Isaiah said it in chapter two, rife with idols, there's been this ungodly merging, this ungodly syncretism to where we've been manipulated by the context of God has placed us in for his glory. The first order of business is repentance. Acknowledging what has been, what has happened, and how we may have contributed to it. Secondarily is pursuing lives that are above reproach. I'm not talking about the sinful doctrine of perfectionism. What I am talking about is aspiring to live lives above reproach.

    Holiness is still right today. God still causes people to live separate, sanctified, set apart lies but not distinct from merely but dedicated to his purpose in the time that he's placed us here. That would include us living truths, proclaiming truth, and making disciples. There's more. We'll see how the Lord allows us to unpack this as we go forward. You all have a great evening.
