There is much at stake in tomorrow’s midterm election. Issues such as the sanctity of life, religious liberty, the security of our borders, our response to Islamic fundamentalism, and the advance of the radical LGBTQ+ agenda are all on the ballot.
The American Family Association is calling on God’s people to fast and pray today for God’s will to be done on Election Day.
God has shown great mercy to our nation despite our manifest sins.
Let’s thank him for his undeserved grace. And let us appeal to the God of heaven to intervene and motivate his people to select godly leadership to guide our country

These words were shared between Cleopas and his companion on the 7-mile walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus as Jesus, in resurrection form, used the Hebrew Scriptures to reveal Himself to them as the Messiah.
There are at least 109 distinct biblical prophecies the Messiah had to fulfill.
The mathematical probability of such a feat occurring is astoundingly absurd, yet that absurdity is satisfied... in Jesus, the Messiah.
Come let us adore Him!

In an interview with the far left outfit “Democracy Now” Democrat candidate for New York’s 14th District congressional seat and soon to be Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, lamented the fact people are disappointed when candidates like her don’t have fully formed opinions or otherwise understand the issues they discuss publicly.
She said this after being unable to articulate a cogent position on Middle East policy concerning Israel.
It would almost be funny if she wasn’t headed to Washington D.C. to deliberate and vote on pretty important issues like the federal budget… and stuff like that.

The day of Pentecost concluded with 3,000 converts being added to the initial body of 120 believers. Then, that 3,120 spent time together daily going to the temple and interacting in each other’s homes.
They devoted themselves continually to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, sharing meals and praying together.
The 3,120 that made up the early church came from Turkey, the Middle East, and Africa and included Arabs and Romans. In addition to all of this geographic and ethnic diversity they spoke different languages. They were made one family in Christ Jesus.
Scripture has the answer to the issues we face today.

In 1954, Americans lived under constant threat of nuclear attack from the USSR.
When America’s children practiced “duck and cover” in classrooms across the country, President Eisenhower realized that our pledge had no distinction from any other republic.
After hearing a sermon on February 7th of that year, President Eisenhower signed a law adding the words “under God” to our pledge.
The president recognized the true source of unity – of indivisibility – is unwavering submission to the God of the Bible.
As we go about our day, let us all remember the only true source of national unity and indivisibility is submission to Almighty God.

Hannaniah, Mishael, and Azariah weren’t the only Jewish exiles in Babylon. They weren’t the only people under Nebuchadnezzar who knew that YHWH expressly prohibited worshipping graven images.
Yet, they are the only three recorded in Scripture who refused to bow down and worship the golden statute. Though they were an extreme minority they refused to go along to get along with the Babylonian culture.
The way of Christ-following may be in the minority today, it is nevertheless The Way.
Resolute is the disposition of the fully persuaded. In this modern day Babylon, be one of the three.

Twitter rejected multiple tweets from a Washington-based immigration research center’s advertising campaign as “hate speech” because they used the term “illegal alien.”
“Alien” - rather than ‘immigrant’ - is the correct legal term, since “alien’ is defined in 8 U.S.C. section 1101(a)(3) as “any person not a citizen or national of the United States.”
Precision in the law is a vital principle, since exact words used in statutes, regulations, contracts, guidance documents, and policy statements can significantly affect how they are applied and interpreted.
To Twitter, cultural marxism is far more important than legal precision.

The Chinese government has implemented a five-year plan to make Christianity more compatible with communism.
The plan includes rewriting the Bible to make socialist ideals and Chinese culture seem more divine.
It also requires Chinese churches to sing a few communist revolutionary songs praising the communist party before they sing any worship songs.
Additionally, crosses inside of church buildings must be also have pictures of Chairman Mao and Chairman Xi on each side.
The goal is to change Christianity in China to Chinese Christianity.

Whoopi Goldberg astonishingly suggested Donald Trump, Jr.’s sons may have “tendencies” to assault women after Trump Jr. said he feared for his young sons’ future due to the weaponization of the #MeToo movement.
Trump Jr. said “a man can be destroyed over decades-old, uncorroborated, changing allegations” - clearly referencing to the Brett Kavanaugh saga.
In response, Trump Jr. tweeted “instead of insinuating that my sons are potential abusers you might want to explain why you defended actual child rapist Roman Polanski” along with a 2009 video of Whoopi doing just that.
Polanski was convicted for raping a 13-year-old girl… whoops!

The 9th Commandment clearly prohibits lying. But a deeper dive into it reveals something that our culture seems to sprinting away from at full speed.
Embedded within the command is the implication that people have a divinely imposed duty to refrain from lying or defaming their neighbors.
Additionally, the command reveals that mankind also enjoys a divine right not to be lied to or defamed.
When we allow falsity, lies, and defamation to persist in our personal, cultural and political lives we align ourselves with the Father of lies who is also the accuser of the brethren.
“I will build My church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it” Matthew 16:18.
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
What are gates? They are defensive tools used to keep stuff out, to keep an advancing force at bay.
Too often the enemy is successful in putting Christians on defense, when the facts are the Lord established His church as an aggressive, offensive, territory-taking body.
The Lord never meant for us to sit on the sidelines of life or to cower in the corner as a result of the wickedness in our culture.
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. The light of the world cannot be contained.
The Lord is building His church and the mamby-pamby gates of Hell shall not prevail against us.

Recently, tech titans have sought to minimize the access people have to conservative content, but what we’ve seen so far is just the beginning.
At an “Off The Record” event where the usual Regressive media suspects were gathered, Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook will “dial up the intensity” of its efforts to minimize access to “controversial political content.”
Huh, any wonder as to what type of content Zuckerberg deems “controversial?”

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts signed a state budget that eliminates federal title X family-planning funding to Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. The $8.8 billion two-year budget would prohibit money to facilities that commit, promote, or refer clients for abortions.
The budget also mandates health clinics in the state to legally, financially, and physically separate from abortion facilities.
So, Planned Parenthood’s bloody hands can be wrenched from the taxpayers money when a legislature and an executive leader are willing.
Congress, are you listening?

Christ followers must contend for the authority of scripture in every generation.
Current societal challenges that are described as culture wars are really societal attacks on the authority and application of Scripture.

The Palestinian Authority has long given lifetime stipends to the families of dead terrorists who successfully carried out terror attacks against Jews and they’ve used aid from U.S. taxpayers to do it.
A review of Palestinian aid was conducted by the Trump Administration in light of the Taylor Force Act, which was proposed to stop this insanity. Following that review, President Trump has ordered that $200 million in economic aid be withheld from the Hamas-Palestinian Authority unitary government and redirected elsewhere.
Good move, Mr. President.

The incumbent Democrat Governor of New York is being attacked from the left in the Democrat primary by actress Cynthia Nixon similar to the way Bernie Sanders attacked Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Things got rather testy in their primary debate where Cuomo made things a little harder for himself.
He asked Nixon to stop interrupting. She accused him of lying. He then responded that he would stop lying when she did.
Uh… ya just admitted to lying.
Nixon, a left leaning, Bernie Sanders type who embraces all things regressive and Cuomo, another regressive, who admitted lying publicly.
Oh, New York.

October 11, 1798 John Adams, the second President of the United States, addressed the Massachusetts Militia and said:
“Our Constitution was made ONLY for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
He rightly highlighted the reality that this great American experiment in self-government and liberty would only work where the popular societal ethos is derived from the character produced by the Holy Spirit’s indwelling.
The recent popularity of socialism is directly related to America moving further away from God.

At the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1876 Congressman James Garfield, who became the 20th President of the United States, said:
"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature…”
Words to carry with us into the voting booth as we populate our Congress in this midterm election season.

The Daily Caller has reported that the Chinese hacked into Hillary Clinton’s basement server in her New York home throughout her term as Secretary of State and obtained nearly all of her emails.
The Chinese wrote a code that was embedded in the home-brew server. The code sent an instant “courtesy copy” to the Chinese of every email sent to and from Secretary Clinton.
Every email to and from President Obama, every intelligence email, every email concerning highly classified Secretary of State business the Chinese have.
Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

San Francisco based online health information website Healthline, a competitor of WebMD, has unveiled a new LGBT-inclusive sex education guide geared toward youth.
In it, the medical term for female reproductive anatomy is replaced with the words “front hole.”
Healthline argues that it is correcting the oft-repeated error of "unnecessarily describing body parts as 'male part' or 'female parts,' excluding those who identify as non-binary. Many individuals don’t see body parts as having a gender.”
We probably should avoid a health information website that’s confused about anatomy.
