0:00you're listening to a best-of edition of the Hamilton Corner.
0:03Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:06It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:10This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:14It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:19Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:22And the philosophies of this world.
0:24God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
0:27Even in this dark moment.
0:30Let's not miss our moment.
0:32And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:36Good evening everybody, welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
0:40Here on American Family Radio, I am your host,
0:43Abraham Hamilton III joined by the full corner contingent.
0:48Right across from me Mr. Bobby Rrossah, my man,
0:51100 grand to my left.
0:54Reduce extraordinaire, the real.
0:56Jay Ms. Act often imitated, but never ever ever ever ever.
1:00Ever ever ever ever.
1:02duplicated and in the screening room in the screening room your friendly
1:06Recovering neighborhood with a holic mr. Marty sparks ladies and gentlemen
1:09We are ready to rock and roll and if you're watching the show you can see Bobby pointing at him in the reflection
1:16On the screen before we came on there. I don't know why we're doing it. We were talking about Jackson. Hi, so mr. Randy
1:22what's
1:24More good that more good
1:27Good turbo
1:29I have no idea why we were doing that, but we were.
1:34We were.
1:35We were.
1:36Well, thank you very much for tuning in to the program.
1:39I'm excited to be here with you again, having the opportunity to converse.
1:46I feel like over time, man, we really get to know one another.
1:52At this very moment in time, many of you, if not most of you, are making that transition
1:55from your part-time jobs, where you generate an income to your full-time jobs.
2:01full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. As you do that, I want to remind you and encourage you
2:11to understand that what goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the
2:16White House. The first institution that God created was the family. The world works over time to get
2:22us to spend ourselves in all manner of engagements, all manner of time investments, only to offer our
2:30families just the leftovers from a day well spent.
2:34And I want to encourage you to reverse that, to make sure you, you commit yourself to making
2:39sure that you are engaging in the lifestyle of worship by serving your families well and
2:44serving our families well.
2:45The same encouragement I offer you is what I endeavor to implement in my own home.
2:51And I can tell you there are times, man, things get busy, all kinds of things happening, a
2:56a lot of you know, but in addition to doing the radio program,
3:00I serve as American Family Association general counsel.
3:03So I'm the lead lawyer over here.
3:05So we have all kinds of things that happen all kinds of times,
3:09but I can never allow those things and even this program
3:13that caused me to become negligent in serving my family.
3:17So I want to offer you the very same encouragement
3:20that I endeavor to embrace and ultimately to implement
3:24in my own home.
3:25And so by God's grace, little by little, step by step,
3:30person by person, family by family, listen,
3:32I have no question whatsoever
3:34to what God can do in our nation,
3:36even as far going as our nation is now,
3:38if he could get a hold of us inside of our families,
3:41if he can help us to understand intellectually
3:44and embrace practically that the responsibility
3:47for making disciples of children born in the Christian homes,
3:50that responsibility is for us as parents.
3:53It's my job to lead and evangelizing and catacizing
3:58and making disciples of my own children.
4:00It is my job to wash my wife with the word of the word,
4:04to make sure that our home is a sanctuary
4:07for the presence of God.
4:08Because you can't keep them out, God is everywhere,
4:10but we want to intentionally make our home a sanctuary
4:13for the Lord's presence, where his word is elevated,
4:16where his name is known.
4:19That's what we want to do.
4:21That's what we must do.
4:22And in addition to, I'm not saying the home is only place
4:25for us to be faithful to the Lord
4:26and what he calls us to minister,
4:28but what has happened by and large is we have viewed our homes
4:32and our families with a minimized perspective
4:35and we've aggrandized all kinds of other things.
4:37Ooh, well, I really want to be over a part of this ministry.
4:40I wanna have this and I wanna do this.
4:42Listen, our call to execute the Great Commission
4:45must start right in our own homes.
4:50All right, to the word of God, we go Psalm, chapter 78,
4:56Psalm, chapter 78, verses five through seven
5:00is where we're gonna go.
5:02Psalm, chapter 78, 78, this is a Psalm written by Asaph.
5:07And I want all my brothers to listen up
5:09and all my sisters to listen up,
5:11because we are going to peer into a basic aspect
5:16of manhood as designed by God.
5:20You could also call it biblical manhood.
5:24Manhood as designed by God.
5:26There is a feature, a characteristic of manhood that has,
5:34I'll say fallen by the wayside in contemporary society,
5:37even in modern church-y-anity.
5:41Listen to this, Psalm 78 verses five through seven.
5:45There's so much more to this Psalm,
5:46but I'm gonna try to exercise self-control
5:49and stick with these verses.
5:51And this is what the word of God says, for he established a testimony in Jacob and appointed
5:59a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers that they should teach them to their children,
6:11that the generation to come might know even the children yet to be born, that they may arise
6:19and tell them to their children that they should put their confidence in God and not forget
6:28the works of God, but keep his commandments.
6:34Some of you say, all right, Abraham, now what does that got to do with biblical manhood?
6:40This is what it has to do with it.
6:42You will note from this text, a fundamental aspect that God has authored has ordained has
6:51designed for men to engage in. Biblical manhood is invested in multi-generational faithfulness
7:02to God. Manhood, biblically speaking, has as an intrinsic component a view towards generational
7:13fidelity to God. I'm going to read it again. He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed
7:21law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers one generation. He commanded our fathers that
7:29they should teach them to their children, a second generation. The first generation, you
7:35can say fathers are grandfathers, right? Teach to their children. Those children, verse 6 picks
7:42up that generation, that generation to come that they might know, even to teach to the
7:52the children yet to be born.
7:55Just the nose two verses, you have three generations.
7:58And you have the instruction of the Lord
8:00that the second generation should comport itself
8:03in such a way and position itself in such a way
8:05that you're already considering
8:08what will be the substantive and the qualitative
8:12circumstances for the children yet to be born.
8:17Isn't that amazing?
8:19Not only that, that the children yet to be born
8:25What would he want to make sure they understand?
8:27That they may arise and tell them to their children.
8:31Now, wait a minute, I Abraham.
8:32You mean to tell me the Lord is saying in his word
8:35that his people should be of such a disposition,
8:39such a quality that the first generation
8:43should teach the second generation.
8:45And in teaching the second generation,
8:47the first generation should be teaching the second generation
8:49that they should live, prepare for, provide for
8:53and spiritually ready themselves to prepare
8:56even their children yet to be born?
9:01Yes, and even in their preparation for their children
9:05yet to be born, they should be committed to it
9:07in such a degree that the children that they have yet
9:12to be born, that even their offspring will arise
9:16and tell them to their children.
9:18Guys, if you read this with specificity and clarity,
9:22you have four to five, if not more generations
9:26Now, I'd argue in all in one fell swoop.
9:29And just in case there's any ambiguity
9:31as to what should be this generational commitment,
9:35this generational investment,
9:39verse seven tells you plainly,
9:40what is this multi-generational legacy
9:44that they should put their confidence in God
9:48and not forget the works of God,
9:51but keep his commandments.
9:56See, when a scripture says,
9:57good man leaves it inheritance for his children's children.
9:59It includes financial and material inheritance.
10:01Well, let me tell you, that is not the largest
10:04of that inheritance.
10:07You see here, and in order,
10:09and you gotta look at the scripture what it says.
10:11In order for this generational heritage
10:14that takes place, to take place,
10:15where you have this passing down,
10:19the capacity to put their confidence in God,
10:22notice the scripture says in verse seven,
10:23and not forget the works of God.
10:28You know what that requires?
10:29That requires that she's using it just to make it plain.
10:32Jeff and I represent two generations.
10:34I'm a little older than Jeff,
10:35so I'll be older in this instance.
10:37In order for me to conduct myself in such a way,
10:39let's say hypothetically Jeff is my son,
10:41which he's not, but you're not offended by that, are you, Jeff?
10:44All right, let's say Jeff is my son.
10:47I should live in such a way,
10:49and to invest in Jeff in such a way,
10:51to where not only is he committed to the Lord,
10:53but he should be thinking even now,
10:57as to how he can invest in his children,
11:00yet to be born, that they should put their confidence in God.
11:04He should also be invested himself
11:06and how can I pour into my children's
11:08and in particular my sons, so that when they're born,
11:12they would raise their children
11:13to put their confidence in God.
11:15And then verse seven says,
11:16"'And not forget the works of God.'"
11:20So you know what that means?
11:20It's my responsibility to explain to Jeff.
11:23Jeff, this is what the word of God says.
11:25The history of our Heavenly Father's legacy,
11:28the testimony of our eternal family's faithfulness.
11:30Now, let me give you some examples
11:32of how the same demonstration of faithfulness
11:35that is recorded for us in the scripture.
11:37Let me show you how God has worked that out in my life.
11:40There are things that have happened in my life
11:42in your mom's life, Jeff.
11:43In fact, the fact that your name, Jeff,
11:45is not merely a coincidence.
11:47This is how God moved us to name you
11:49because naming is not merely giving you
11:51something to be called by,
11:52but it's a conveyance of identity.
11:54That's why you don't ever have to look around
11:56as what's going on the world or in the street
11:58on BET or a black planet to see who you are,
12:02because God has already told us who you are,
12:05and revealed us to us who you are, firstly in scripture.
12:09And then he's given your mother and I to you
12:10to provide like guardrails,
12:12like the bumpers in the bowling lane,
12:14so that when you roll, you don't have to fear the gutter
12:17because perfect love casts out all fear.
12:20And God has given you,
12:22Mommy and I, to be these bumpers for you
12:24until you can roll on your own.
12:28And as we lay out the works of God,
12:31His fruitfulness, His faithfulness,
12:32and you know what, we're telling you all this, Jeff?
12:34So you grow, your confidence in God,
12:35to such a degree, to where you realize,
12:38man, you know what, I want to taste and see,
12:40whether or not the Lord is as good for me
12:42as I have seen Him, in my father and my mother,
12:45and I have heard Him and struck me in it,
12:47and as I've read about it in scripture,
12:51and as that transpires, it becomes a generational legacy.
12:55See, it is never the Lord's will for the potency
12:58and the quality of faith filled Christ following to wane over time, it actually should increase
13:06in potency.
13:07You see, Jeff, my prayer has been even before you were conceiving your mother's womb that
13:12my ceiling would be your floor, that you will be able to stand on the inheritance we have
13:16from our ancestors in the faith from the witness of scripture, as well as the tangible testimony
13:21that your mother and I have been to you, and that that serves as your springboard for you
13:25to launch off into your time of taking the baton to faithfulness to the Lord and running
13:29your race.
13:31But as you take the baton while you're taking it, you should have a mind as to how you are
13:35going to hand it off.
13:38Brothers and sisters, this is the legacy of Christ following, and I will add to put a punctuation
13:44mark on this.
13:45This should be a defining feature of Biblical manhood.
13:51A lot of people talk about a lot of other things.
13:53How often you have conversations in our churches
13:55of discussing with the men in our churches,
13:57how to establish multi-generational
13:59legacies of faithfulness to God.
14:02This should be a common phenomenon of our conversations.
14:08It's right there in the scripture.
14:10This is why I tell you guys every day,
14:12I understand the world is going crazy,
14:15but guess what?
14:16God has invested us in this crazy world
14:18for such a time as this.
14:20I'm not gonna elect a craziness of the world
14:22to make me crazy.
14:24That's why I say,
14:25what goes on in your house is more important
14:27than goes on in the White House.
14:28There's always been crazy people in positions
14:30of governmental power when Christ's followers were called.
14:32Has anybody heard of Nero?
14:34Do we need to go on throughout the ages?
14:38Do we need to go and describe how the martyrdom
14:40of Christians in Augustine's day
14:42is what led to him to come to faith in Christ?
14:46Man, don't allow the world around you to cause you
14:48to become a listful and despondent.
14:52Recognize that this is the time they got us a day for us
14:54Let's serve the Lord in our day as our ancestors
14:56in the faith have done in theirs.
14:59Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions
15:03and desires of their sinful nature to His cross,
15:06crucified them there.
15:07Since we are living by the Spirit,
15:10let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.
15:14Galatians 5, 24 through 25.
15:17American Family Radio.
15:19Shiting light into the darkness,
15:29this is the Hamilton Corner, an American Family Radio.
15:33Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
15:36And listen, I know what I was just explaining in the first segment is not necessarily standardized.
15:44I'll say it that way.
15:45North common across the country.
15:55But God has never required majorities for his work to be done.
16:01And I'm saying even if it's not, why can't it start with you?
16:04Why can't it start with me?
16:06So you guys know this doesn't mean to exclude sisters,
16:10mothers, grandmothers, aunts, you know,
16:13from participating in this, absolutely not.
16:15What I'm talking about is biblical manhood.
16:18Familial headship, this is intrinsic to it.
16:22You wanna talk about the vision for a family that God calls
16:27that God establishes, and I've explained this before,
16:29but Ephesians chapter five, when the scripture says,
16:31why submit yourself to your own husbands on a surface?
16:34And in English, it seems like that is it strictly
16:36instruction that God is giving to women, but the reality is it is to both women, let me
16:42be more specific, to both wives and husbands and would-be husbands in the same verse.
16:49I've explained before that the Greek word for submission there is hupostaso, which is
16:54translated into English, submission, the compound word, sub meaning under the root being meter,
16:59MITRE, which means vision.
17:02There can be no submission without a mission.
17:05So the condition precedent that is directed toward would be husbands and then husbands
17:10is that in order for you and me to be biblically qualified to be joined to a spouse in order
17:15for us men in order for me as a man, which by the way, even if you're not a biologist,
17:20I'm here to tell you, is an adult human male, whereas a woman is an adult human female.
17:27Maybe Bobby, could you get a now Supreme Court Justice Kataunji Brown Jackson on speed dial
17:34and email that definition to her, so maybe next time she can use that.
17:37Okay, all right, thank you, sir.
17:38Thank you.
17:39Thank you.
17:40Make sure you roll that on over to her.
17:41Thank you.
17:42But that condition precedent says in order for me as an adult human male to be qualified,
17:51to be joined to a spouse that I have to have a vision because the mandate to submit is
17:58not a biological ordering.
18:00is a vision ordering with both the husband and the wife having their responsibility to
18:06commit to the execution of God's vision for that unique familial household. The man who
18:12has been loosed or liberated from his initial biological band of parentage is now joined to
18:19his bride as Jesus confirmed himself saying from the book of Genesis. He quoted himself
18:24in Matthew 19 from what he said in Genesis chapters one and two.
18:29He now becomes a house band for a newly formed familiar unit.
18:34The overarching mission or vision for that familiar unit is what is given by God.
18:41And the husband has responsibility as the head of that unit of seeing to its execution.
18:46When you consider the Hebrew word for helper, which is, it's amazing.
18:51This is how feminism messes everything up because the very word helper, well if you won't
18:55go King James home, we can say help, meet.
18:58But in the literature he's helping suitable, feminism has made that sound like a bad word.
19:04But guess who's described as the helper in the New Testament?
19:09I'll give you a hint.
19:10John chapter 14.
19:12Holy Spirit is described as the helper.
19:17The word is there in Genesis is used in Hebrew.
19:21The wife to be the helper of the husband.
19:24Literally means to build in that which is lacking.
19:26Well what is the is there for?
19:28What are you helping?
19:30What are you? What are you? Ezaring you're helping the fulfillment of the vision that God has given this newly formed band
19:37but
19:42second and third wave feminism
19:45Has even made that
19:47So I bet you even have guys who are afraid to say out loud, but you'll find they'll seek for this in practice
19:53We're afraid to say out loud. I'm looking in terms of what are you looking for in this spouse? I'm looking for a
19:58a godly woman whom God has equipped to aid me in fulfillment of this vision.
20:05Why can't the wife have division?
20:10Nobody said you can't have any vision.
20:12The Lord just didn't call you to be the head of the household, head of the family.
20:16It's not about qualitative diminishment.
20:21It's about order and operation.
20:25That's all it's about.
20:29It's amazing to me.
20:30like you never see this.
20:32Like I can go through all the kind of things.
20:34It's football season.
20:35That's you, Super Bowl, for example.
20:37This is, I had no intention to talk about all of this.
20:39You have football players, professional football players, right?
20:42All of them are professional football players.
20:44Other professional football players will tell you the most important role
20:50that we cannot afford to get wrong is quarterback.
20:53Why?
20:54Because the road he has to play.
20:56Now, if you ask them personally, do you feel like the quarterback
21:00is more important to you as a human being?
21:02The professional football player would tell you no, not at all.
21:05But in terms of function on the football field,
21:08if you are a left tackle, why can't you play quarterback?
21:11Guess what the professional football player would tell you?
21:13I am not skilled nor trained for that role.
21:16We have basic simple, look, we can go to basketball,
21:24we can go there.
21:25Why can't the center play point guard?
21:27You even have some centers who have point guard skills,
21:30but they have no problem being centers.
21:32Why? Because they're invested in the overarching vision
21:34of trying to win a championship.
21:36We have this stuff happening in the world. We can't even get it right in the church
21:40Then I heard heard I had a situation that arose
21:43You know the issue was submission in the home I had to deal with the husband and a wife
21:47I was like listen bro
21:48The call is not to submit to you as but your biology. What vision has God given you for your family?
21:55He's like, what do you mean? What about family? I don't want you to talk about you man. I'm like dude
22:01And I said just like I said listen if you don't know who you are or who God has called you to be do yourself and every sister
22:08around you a favor and stay out of their way.
22:11The Bible says when the blind leave the blind,
22:12everybody ends up in the ditch.
22:14So if you have a visionless adult male, physically,
22:18may not be emotionally immature, spiritually or emotionally.
22:22And you have an adult female who she's attracted,
22:26who I like here, he's so cute,
22:29who I like the way he weighs his hair.
22:32But nobody has any idea about vision.
22:35At best what they can do is fornicating fall.
22:38at best with no vision.
22:41So you do yourself a favor and stay out of a way.
22:44I tell the young man I get the opportunity to counsel.
22:46The first thing you need to do is make sure
22:48God has called you to marriage.
22:52Now, I know for a fact the majority of men he has,
22:55simply because his first command is for multiplication.
22:57You can't multiply unless you have a man
22:58and a woman come together.
23:00Somebody send that email to Richard Levine.
23:04Send that one.
23:06But I want the men to know that this is a vocational
23:13ministeal and investment.
23:14This is not a cure for loneliness.
23:16This is not an outlet for your lack of physical self control.
23:19That's another issue.
23:20Listen, oh man, I'm all in the stuff today.
23:23But I'm gonna just get in it.
23:26Listen to me very well.
23:28Marriage is not an outlet for lack of physical self control.
23:33If you lack self control,
23:35that lack of self control will continue.
23:39Now I'm not saying it came help, but what I am saying
23:41is that you should seek to exercise self-control
23:45before you get married.
23:49And I'm saying this, yes, I understand.
23:50We live in a pornography society,
23:52and the panogrification of society unfortunately
23:55has crept its way into the church
23:56because you have people afraid to talk about pornography
23:58in the church.
24:07Then I had to talk to the sisters,
24:09like, I don't know, you tell my sister,
24:11I can't submit, I just ask them questions.
24:13I said, you have a job, right?
24:14Yeah.
24:16And what do you work?
24:17She told me where she works.
24:17And who is your boss?
24:19Tell me your boss.
24:20Your boss is a man.
24:22If your boss tells you he needs you to work 15 minutes earlier,
24:24you're gonna be there, you're gonna gripe.
24:26Well, I'll be there.
24:27Well, why are you gonna be there?
24:28Because he's my boss.
24:29Oh, so you mean to tell me you value your income generation
24:33more than you value the peace in your home?
24:35Let's go a step further.
24:36You value your ability to generate an income
24:39more than you revere the word of God.
24:42Because if I read the Bible right, opens Ephesians 5.
24:45And why I submit yourselves to your own husband's,
24:48which by the way, that's not a broad categorical submission
24:51of all men everywhere.
24:51It's why I submit yourselves to your own husbands.
24:56And then you keep reading, I submit yourselves on.
24:58As unto the Lord, you do realize you're mandate to submit.
25:02Ain't because of how good or bad he is.
25:04It is as a worship commitment to him.
25:10I said, let me ask another question.
25:12Your pastor, your pastor, man, if he a pastor, yeah.
25:18Yeah. If your pastor says something to you, will you hesitate to believe it?
25:24So you willn't to submit to the pastor more than even to your own husband.
25:29That's a problem. And we have lots of places where pastors encourage that kind of stuff.
25:34That's wrong. That's wrong. And so these are the types of things.
25:40So what I'm saying that man, if he, if the Lord could get a hold of us in our homes,
25:47There's no question, no question as to what could happen in society.
25:55A lot of the things that are happening in society, I'm just going to tell it.
25:58The Lord is exposing the lack of saltiness in the professing church and our nation.
26:03We should have allowed the world and its system to establish a monopoly on the hearts and
26:15minds of our little ones.
26:21There was a principle articulated in the book of Genesis.
26:23What is that principle?
26:25Everything reproduces after its own kind.
26:28I'll say it, Vody Bockam says it this way.
26:30How can we then consistently send our children
26:35to Caesar to have their hearts and minds shaped,
26:37yet we stand aghast, shocked, appalled, mortified,
26:41mystified, dumbfounded?
26:42I can't believe my child has returned to me
26:47as a Roman.
26:52And we are the ones that discernment is supposed to be
26:57intrinsic to our position as believers.
27:06Man, repit to start to the household of God, man.
27:08Judgment starts at the household of God.
27:10We, the body of Christ needs to make massive, massive adjustments.
27:19What's all that?
27:20Heh heh heh heh heh.
27:22Yep, you try to give me one of the handkerchiefs.
27:24I don't need no handkerchief.
27:26If I'm sweating, let me sweat.
27:28Heh heh heh heh.
27:31But man, I'm saying all of this.
27:33And I started out with what I'm saying,
27:34what I said about Psalm 78,
27:36because these are things that our men need to know,
27:39Young men and older men, and these things
27:42that our women need to know.
27:44Our young girls need to do it at the appropriate ages,
27:46of course.
27:48These are the types of things when the Bible says,
27:50he that finds a wife finds a good thing.
27:52I've said this before.
27:53The Bible says he that finds a wife.
27:55The reality is that she has the quality of whiteliness
27:58before you ever discover her.
28:01But in order for you to be able to identify
28:03qualities of whiteliness, you have to know
28:05what whiteliness looks like.
28:10But we got people that have no idea.
28:12who have people who are physically mature,
28:14but emotionally, not emotionally mature, necessarily,
28:16not spiritually mature, necessarily,
28:18not biblically literate sufficiently.
28:22But you got headless horsemen, so to speak, going around.
28:24That's why we have such a prevalent phenomenon
28:27of people get together.
28:32They physically do what adult human beings
28:34have the capacity to do.
28:36They have children, and then they realize,
28:37oh, I don't even like him.
28:40I don't know why I was doing this baby mama drama drama.
28:43I was just asking, how do what happened?
28:45I was like, I was on that song that night, not saw.
28:47And I said, ooh.
28:48And but they had to be a guy goes on,
28:50because then I woke up and I said, who are you?
28:53And she said, who I say, who is you?
28:57All these things happen,
28:58because we have people who don't know,
29:00this is why the atom bomb
29:02that has been dropped on family in our society
29:05and on marriage in our society is so cataclysmic.
29:09Because it starts at a foundational level
29:12to deprive people whom God made to be,
29:15Because social beings, God made us to want to be together.
29:19That's not wrong or weird.
29:21You got people now thinking they're empowered.
29:23I am so empowered by modern progressivism,
29:26but I realize I don't need a man.
29:28I'm like, really?
29:31You don't need any of you chart the growth of progressivism.
29:35You have, I don't need a man.
29:42I am equal to man.
29:44These are women, by the way.
29:45I am a man.
29:47You, you, is that a progression?
29:49And then you have the covers happening.
29:51You know, man, you need to be about more than just
29:57rough and tumbledness.
29:58We need to have some sensitivity in me.
30:00Where's your feminine side?
30:02And you have all these dudes, how to, yes,
30:04I'm a Metrosexual, yes.
30:06And I want to consume my tea with a little bit
30:08of pinky extensions.
30:10And yes, I, yes, I may want to have a bun
30:12that I can wrap better than those females around.
30:15Yes, my mind bun, yes.
30:17Oh yes, new fashion trends, my pants are so tight
30:20that you can take my blood.
30:24No need for a rubber band.
30:26Just my pants that are skinny.
30:29You got these dudes, like now you got
30:31some of the most supposedly masculine people around.
30:34They're showing up at Met Gala's and all with dresses on.
30:37And they're like, I'm fashion forward, now you're confused.
30:40You're confused and you look like you bought a lot of food.
30:43That's what's going on here.
30:45Call.
30:46Yes indeed.
30:47I saw a thing that this is, I mean, this is ridiculous.
30:49You have, look, Dwayne Wade, he has his son
30:52on the cover of a magazine talking about Dwayne Wade's daughter.
30:55Like that's a dude, your boy, son.
31:00But all of the things unfold,
31:02because at a foundational level, we fought for the foundations.
31:05Man, why y'all letting me get all our track like this?
31:07It's these guys, well, but we are guys.
31:14And listen, and look, look,
31:16look, gather around real close.
31:17Let me let you guys in on a secret.
31:19Oh, I know I was trying to be nice.
31:20Kisha says, pass borderline.
31:22I know, Kisha, I was trying to be nice.
31:24and like, why are you gonna be nice now?
31:25You've been, you've been swinging with a fin,
31:28for the fences all day.
31:29Now you wanna go for a butt?
31:32But guys around real closely,
31:36you can't expect darkness to produce light.
31:40What do I mean?
31:42You're never going to see this change
31:44if we're waiting on the world to take the lead.
31:48And guess what it's gonna take?
31:50One of the basic byproducts of being indwell
31:54with the Holy Spirit, guess what the word of God says?
31:56That the righteous are as bold as lions.
31:58You get to the point to where you're so consumed with love
32:01for the King of Glory that you'll tell the truth
32:04even to your own hurt,
32:06to where you're not afraid of being canceled,
32:08to where you're not concerned with them saying,
32:09oh, you just must be some right-wing bigot.
32:11Listen, truth will often be perceived as bigoted,
32:15bigoted by people who are wicked.
32:22Election night coverage 2024.
32:24Starting at six o'clock central time on election night,
32:29The polls, of course, on the eastern side of the country, 7 o'clock there will be closing
32:35in several key states, like Pennsylvania, like Michigan, North Carolina.
32:42So we'll be looking at those right off the bat on Election Night.
32:46It's Election Night coverage 2024 on American Family Radio.
32:56Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Commentaries are available at aFR.net.
33:02to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
33:06Welcome back.
33:07I just trust the Lord is leading us, man.
33:12I did not intend to talk about all of that, but I trust that.
33:16That is what the Lord wanted to have shared.
33:18We will open the phone lines if anybody wants to weigh in.
33:21If anybody has any questions, you want to raise about what we've been talking about today.
33:26We started off by talking about an intrinsic component of biblical manhood as
33:32articulated in scripture that God has made men to be
33:36multi-generational in view of establishing a legacy commitment to the Messiah. A legacy commitment.
33:46Psalm 78 includes
33:48fathers, then their sons, and instructing their sons in such a way to where they're preparing for the
33:55the grand sons yet to be born in specific preparing so that even they will arise and
34:03instruct their children to place their confidence in the Lord and to have the works of God proclaimed.
34:11The works of God proclaimed. This is an example of how we are to apply that we overcome twofold
34:20means how by the blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony may not be said of you
34:28that your children don't know of God's goodness and faithfulness in your life. If he is that good,
34:36how come you don't talk about him as much as you talk about the gumbo? How can he be that good
34:43and we don't have nearly the amount of excitement or passion for him as we do for the Dallas Cowboys
34:49who ain't been in the playoffs, want to play off game in over 20 years.
34:53Yes, I said it with my chest.
34:58That's how it always starts, Bobby. Just wait. If he's that good, how can you talk about him less
35:05than you talk about in the water, Saints, and James Winston falling apart in the fourth quarter?
35:12Y'all get the point I'm driving to meet. If the Lord could grab a hold of us and our families,
35:19And listen, this is something I confront rather frequently.
35:24If you're listening to me, and you're a brother, you're saying,
35:27man, anybody wish I'd have known that before?
35:29God married, before I did this, listen, God is such a good God.
35:34He feeds in chapter four, one of my favorite sources of scripture.
35:37But we have not a high priest who cannot be felt by our feelings of infirmity,
35:41but in every way was tempted as we are yet without sin.
35:44So we may boldly approach the throne of grace to obtain mercy
35:50in times of need. What I'm saying very simply is if you recognize now and you hadn't recognized
35:56it before, then man, I need to have a vision from God for my family. It's never too late to ask him.
36:01As simple as this, Lord, what is the vision you would have for me, for my family? I was talking to
36:06one brother and he realized that he was a first person and his entire family is his biological
36:11siblings, his parents, his cousins, his aunt and uncles, none of them were Christians. And so he was
36:17is marveling at the fact that, how did God reach me?
36:21You know that some people have a testimony
36:23that they grew up in church
36:24and have all these things happen.
36:25People share the gospel, that wasn't in my testimony.
36:27How did God save me?
36:29And then it just so happened,
36:30we were studying the scripture together
36:31and we went to the portion of the scripture
36:33where the Bible talks about the Lord saving
36:34the solidaries and families as a means, if you will,
36:38an establishment of a beachhead using military terminology
36:41to have the gospel proclaimed within families.
36:43It wasn't the very same thing I'm telling you now.
36:46His brother said to me,
36:48and I never realized I needed to do this.
36:49And I encouraged him just like encouraging you.
36:52I said, man, ask the Lord to show you
36:53what his vision is for your family,
36:56him giving you your wife and making you
36:58ahead of your family.
36:59A couple of weeks later, he called me,
37:00he said, hey, man, you never believed this.
37:02The Lord showed me, man, the Lord showed me
37:05that the minister that he's called me to commit to
37:07and from our wife to commit to
37:08is that we proclaim the gospel to our relatives,
37:12that we would be a means through which
37:14should the Lord grace us to do so
37:16for the gospel to proliferate horizontally.
37:19He gave me and he said like this,
37:20he made gay, got made gay,
37:22gave me a bunch of cousins.
37:23You know, I got a bunch of cousins.
37:28And man ain't never heard of the gospel man.
37:31Man the Lord showed me that I'm the one
37:33that was supposed to give it to her.
37:34I'm supposed to tell him,
37:34hey, I'm supposed to tell him.
37:38I said, brother, that's the vision of God has given you.
37:40So God is calling you and your wife
37:42to commit yourselves in prayer and commitment
37:45to proclaim in the gospel in your family line.
37:51He said, we have a lot of gatherings,
37:52nobody will talk about the Lord.
37:56And then we had the next conversation.
37:58Now he realizes what the vision is.
38:02His wife is on board, committed to it,
38:05talking about living a certain way before them,
38:07in that lifestyle, providing an affirmation
38:12to your proclamation.
38:14He said, man, I ain't not, man.
38:15I realize, man, I'm scared.
38:19I said, man, you're not saying anything
38:21that is not uncommon.
38:23All of us have had time,
38:24So we've been intimidated to do this.
38:27So we went to Acts 4 and 5 and said,
38:28do you realize the apostles at times when they were afraid?
38:31He said, no, I said, yeah, man.
38:33Go to Acts 4 and 5, let's read it.
38:37Early on in the lives of John and Peter,
38:39they had to, man, they big time standing for the Lord
38:42in front of wicked people.
38:46I mean, even told the Sanhedrin,
38:48you decide that, you know, James Earl Jones voice,
38:50you decide for yourselves whether it is good for us
38:53to obey Martin rather than God, God.
38:57Next thing you know, man, they back at the prayer meeting,
38:59asking God for boldness.
39:00I say, why do you think they're asking God for boldness?
39:02No, they got scared.
39:06I said, man, bring that to the Lord too.
39:08Lord, give me the courage, the confidence to do this.
39:14We went to the scripture and looked at how the disciples
39:16after Jesus' crucifixion, man, they were locked in the room
39:20for fear of the Jews, the Bible said.
39:22Next thing you know, the spirit of God filled them,
39:23they're out in the same city where they previously were afraid.
39:26Preach, I said, man, what do you think happened?
39:28and the spirit of God gave them the courage.
39:32It seems like an oversimplification,
39:34but I'm telling you as simple as that.
39:37I'm telling you as simple as that.
39:41The phone number if you wanna join the conversation
39:42is 888-589-8840.
39:46That's the number to call 888-589.
39:49I thought I gave it up before Marty's looking at me
39:50like, Abraham, what are you doing?
39:52888-589-8840 is the number.
39:56You wanna join the program, you are welcome to do so.
39:59And as you're calling, I wanna share this with you.
40:00This really goes along with what I'm saying.
40:02Just in case you're wondering,
40:03when I tell you darkness is not going to produce light,
40:06you're the old fridge, you can't get blood from a turnip.
40:08Why, because the turnip doesn't have any blood in it.
40:13I just wanna let you guys know,
40:14let you in on a little something.
40:16There's an organization called
40:19the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
40:23Yeah, there's a woman by the name of Amy Tischelman.
40:26She actually is,
40:28and let me give you her title.
40:32She is a clinical psychologist
40:34at the Boston Children's Hospital.
40:37Previously, she worked in the Boston Children's Hospital
40:40Gender Multispecialist Service Program.
40:43Well, she wrote the chapter, it's chapter eight.
40:47I'm sorry, she wrote the chapter on the child
40:50in the eighth edition of the World Professional Association
40:54of Transgender Health's latest guidelines
40:58in which she shares that she intentionally removed
41:02from the guidelines, any recommendation that children
41:08have a minimum age before they keep being offered,
41:10quote unquote, gender affirming care.
41:13I don't want you to take my word for it.
41:15I want you to listen and watch her explain
41:17because she says, you know what, I removed that
41:19because I didn't want any practitioners to be caught up
41:23in being sued for deviating from our guidelines
41:27at any point, listen to this and watch clip number one go.
41:31And then we were thinking, and it was scary for me,
41:34about the potential uses of the chapter
41:37for legal and insurance context.
41:39Again, what we didn't want to do was create a chapter
41:42that would make it more likely that practitioners would
41:45be sued because they weren't following exactly what we said.
41:49We wanted there to be some clinician judgment
41:52without being at risk for being held in court,
41:58for not sticking completely to these standards.
42:01So we did write them in a way, I think,
42:04so that there is leeway, that we recommend things,
42:08but then we suggest that clinicians
42:11use their judgment about what to do in therapy situations
42:14and in assessment situations so that they,
42:19so that you can use individualized clinical judgment
42:23and not face no practices.
42:25I heard that.
42:29So, just in case you're wondering, this organization, the WPT-A-TH, the World Professional Association
42:37for Transgender Health, their practitioner is more specifically Amy Tischlman is her
42:42name, clinical psychologist at the Boston Children's Hospital.
42:45She's more concerned with practitioners facing lawsuits than she is with protecting children
42:53from having these gender-affirming care at young ages.
43:00And just to be completely clear and as fair as possible as I can be, this WPA-TH organization,
43:08they recommend, they recommend, let me get the right page, yes, they recommend that the
43:14treatment should be limited to people at least 11 years old, but they won't put a hard guideline
43:21because practitioners need to have the leeway.
43:24If you want to give it to people less than 10, you know,
43:26it's eight, nine, five, seven, you know, you,
43:29use your professional judgment
43:31because we want to make sure that you don't face
43:32any lawsuits if you do.
43:36All right.
43:37To the phone lines we go.
43:38We'll start in Texas where John is on the line.
43:42John, would you please turn your radio down a little bit
43:45and then go right ahead.
43:46Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
43:48Hi, this is John.
43:51How you doing, man?
43:51I'm doing well.
43:52What's your show?
43:53thank you
43:54i really appreciate the fact that you touched on the topic that's very dear to
43:58me
43:59men need to be men
44:00hmm taking care of their families and teaching them first
44:04with their kids and obviously having a wife
44:07working with them
44:08and i really appreciate how you
44:10spiritually doubt it out and um i listen to your all the time and you do it
44:14such a great job
44:16oh man john thank you so much for your calling your comments man it's true
44:19it's true and what i'm talking about this these these
44:22Third wave feminism has crept into such a degree to where you have many believers that are afraid
44:29to assert the necessity of masculinity in the church. And you know, you have people who say,
44:36well, what about femininity? Listen, you have the widespread celebrations, albeit perverted in the
44:40instances of femininity while you have the squelching and the crushing and the commodification
44:46of masculinity. When it's like, man, listen, the world needs men, women need men, men need women.
44:54We need each other. But instead of looking to cultural norms for where we get our understanding
44:59of what it means to be men and what it means to be women, we need to go back to the Word of God.
45:03Back to the phone lines we go next to Arkansas where Carolyn is on the phone. Carolyn, thank you
45:08for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program. Thank you. This is my first time calling
45:14and always listening to you in our canyon. And I really appreciate what you're saying today
45:19Because what you're saying is something I've been saying for years, even as my sons was little
45:25bitty kids coming up, this is what I said about the means, needs to stand up and be mean over the
45:31children's and things. And I always told my sons that God was a whole them responsible if they
45:37don't do what they were supposed to do. And like the church, I've been playing that God would give
45:43his right or backbone to stand up, not be afraid to speak about that, which is right.
45:49Amen. Amen, Carolyn. Thank you so much for your calling your comments. Amen. Amen. If not now,
45:55then when? If not now, then when. Back to the phone lines we go next to Ohio where Charles is
46:04on the line. Oh boy, Charles. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. Thank you. Thank you for taking
46:10my calls. My first time calling. I really enjoy your show. So I'm a I'm in my mid 20s young single
46:18guy and I hear you talking about mission or vision and I remember late last year you
46:25had on Michael Foster, you know it's good to be a man and so I'm just trying to, I'm just
46:36wondering if you have any advice for young men such as myself who don't necessarily have
46:41a mission of their own yet. And I remember one time you said, you know, Adam, before Adam
46:50was given Eve, you know, he was given the tax.
46:53Oh, what happened? Oh, we lost you. Oh, I was getting excited. This was a good call.
47:02Yes. I did explain. You're looking Genesis chapter two. You see, Yahweh makes the observation
47:09that it is not good for man to be alone,
47:12but he does not immediately provide relief
47:15or an alleviation for that observation.
47:17The very next thing you see is Adam operating
47:21in his responsibility of cultivating,
47:26protecting the garden and naming the animals
47:30that Yahweh brought to him.
47:32I've explained that the responsibility
47:34was not one or the other,
47:35wasn't just protecting the garden
47:36or just cultivating it was both.
47:38protecting, dressing, I'm sorry, keeping, and cultivating,
47:42dressing the garden.
47:44It was not until Adam was operating and executing that
47:49responsibility that God then reveals Eve to him.
47:53So the first thing I would say is in terms of you developing
47:57or God giving you a vision for a family, not too complicated.
48:01Sometimes we think it has to be this massive huge old,
48:04the Lord has called me to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
48:07No, it had to be anything like that.
48:08It could be something as small.
48:10Jeff and I talked about this.
48:11God has given you a passion for writing.
48:14And the Lord has gifted you in that area,
48:16and you want to glorify Him through your writing.
48:20Well, you want to lean into that
48:21and seek how God may use you to do so.
48:23And as He reveals that to you,
48:24He grows that into your vision for your life's mission
48:27and purpose, then you look for a bride
48:29who can age you in fulfilling that life mission and purpose.
48:33necessarily reflect those of the American Family Association
48:36or American Family Radio.
