0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28and now the Hamilton corner.
0:31Good evening, everyone.
0:35Welcome to The Hamilton Corner.
0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the corner contingent right across from
0:41me, my man, 100 grand Mr. Bobby, Rosa, and in the screening room, produce extraordinaire,
0:48often imitated but never duplicated the real Jay Mac.
0:53Ladies and gentlemen, in the screening room, that is Mr. Jeff McIntosh.
0:58And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program at this very moment.
1:03Many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part time jobs where
1:08you generate an income to your full time jobs, where you cultivate an outcome.
1:12And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the
1:19primacy that God places on the family, recognizing that there are many things that we can do.
1:28We're going to talk about this a bit in the segment, but there's one thing that God requires
1:34of His disciples.
1:37And that is, when I say requires, I want to be clear.
1:41It's a command from God that we are to execute His commission.
1:46The Great Commission is to call to make disciples.
1:51That certainly includes evangelism.
1:54But evangelism is not the totality of the Great Commission.
2:02Disciple making is what is required.
2:06And it is by making disciples that the Kingdom of God is expanded.
2:11And as the Kingdom of God expands, it impacts the Kingdom of God impacts the society that
2:21is populated by Christ followers.
2:24We should never forget that.
2:27We should never forget that.
2:30The opportunity to make disciples and the command to make disciples starts in our homes too
2:40often we neglect our homes in an effort to win and be effective in the world which simply
2:50put is theological malpractice.
2:53Theological and ecclesiastical malpractice.
2:57The scripture tells us when the wicked rule the people grown in a nation that is a constitutional
3:06republic with democratic features, how are servant leaders positioned by the consent of
3:18the governed? Well, how long will a wicked populace abide righteous leadership? That's
3:27an obvious self answering question. It's not going to happen. So we should not be surprised
3:34as wickedness abounds that there's a consistent and concerted effort to jettison our constitution
3:43to encroach upon individual liberty,
3:46because there's a connectedity between them.
3:53I shudder to think that many of the people
3:56who rightly lament what is transpired in our society
4:03have wrongly diagnosed the cause,
4:07or should I say at a minimum,
4:11a large contributing factor.
4:15I'm gonna get into this more so in the second segment,
4:21But our Constitution, the Republic in form of government,
4:24in order to be sustained and to endure, you know,
4:27Benjamin Franklin's adage, a Republic, if you can keep it.
4:32I don't think a lot of people recognize
4:33that the ability to keep the Republic depends upon
4:37a robust and thriving church in our nation.
4:42To the word of God we go, Colossians chapter four,
4:46Colossians chapter four, this is why I say, guys,
4:49what goes on in your house is far more important
4:51what goes on in the White House.
4:54I talk a lot about interacting with our family,
5:00and I would add to that,
5:01that our homes have to once again become a place
5:05that is ripe with a compassion and hospitality
5:13that undergirds Great Commission execution.
5:16Colossians chapter four, verses five and six,
5:19this really is a profoundly convicting source of scripture.
5:25The Apostle Paul is communicating with the church at Colossae.
5:30You'll recall from chapter one, this is a church that was not planted as a result of the Apostle Paul's preaching primarily that the Lord operated through a brother from this city named Apaphras.
5:43Chapter one, verse seven indicates that.
5:45in the case that, that a path versus the one who brought the gospel back to his hometown
5:50and then ended up developing a relationship via epistle with the Apostle Paul. And that is how we
5:59have Paul's epistle to the Colossians. But in it, Colossians chapter four versus five and six is what
6:07I want to focus on. Colossians chapter four versus five and six. And then this is what God's
6:15God's word says, and by reminder, he's talking to believers in Colossians, conduct yourselves
6:25with wisdom, with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity, let your
6:39speech always be with grace as those seasoned with salt so that you will know how to respond
6:50so that you will know how you should respond
6:53to each person.
6:56I'm gonna read it again.
6:57Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders,
7:00making the most of the opportunity.
7:02Let your speech always be with grace.
7:05Let just, yes, speech always be with grace
7:07as those seasoned with salt,
7:09so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
7:16The text here is very clear.
7:17The Apostle Paul is exhorting the believers and colossae
7:21by the Spirit of God to conduct ourselves with wisdom toward unbelievers.
7:32Now, I know I've talked a lot about wisdom.
7:34I do talk a lot about wisdom, but how often do we consider the real time to
7:40necessity and engagement upon engagement of drawing upon the wisdom of God and
7:47operating with wisdom as we interact with unbelievers?
7:53The reason why I can say and I know this text is describing interactive with unbelievers
7:59is because Paul is talking to the Colossian believers about outsiders, the Colossian believers
8:04largely were comprised of Gentile believers.
8:09They were just south of the Black Sea, so when it says, conduct yourself with wisdom toward
8:18outsiders, that is what it's referring to.
8:25Going a bit further, saying making the most of the opportunity.
8:31How often do we reflect on engagement with unbelievers as an opportunity?
8:40And not just any opportunity, but an opportunity that beckons God's wisdom in that moment.
8:51How often?
8:55There is no way for us to be salt in light if our only disposition is to despise those who
9:05are lost and blind.
9:13the bowels of our compassion is shut up because of the prevalence of egregious wickedness and
9:18make no mistake about it. There is robust wickedness all around. I was pondering earlier today
9:32prior to this show, but the reality that there needs to be clear and a conviction
9:41to defeat evil, not to just identify it, not merely to counteract it, but to defeat it
9:47society, but defeating evil includes having a Christ centered, eternity based compassion
9:59that would cause us to engage the unbeliever with truth.
10:04As I've said before, Mark 623 biblical compassion leads to a compassionate yet corrective engagement
10:15without apology because anybody who would suggest that there is any such thing as neutrality,
10:24either selling you a bill of goods or they're exceedingly wicked or both.
10:32Because there's no such thing as neutral. Everything includes a worldview consideration. Verse 6,
10:40let your speech always be with grace as though seasoned with salt. Do we realize when the Apostle
10:50Paul says this, the command and instruction to let our speech be seasoned, that our speech be
10:57grace filled as those seasons with salt is specifically in this context referring to how we interact with unbelievers.
11:05Not only misconstrued what I'm saying, don't get it twisted.
11:10Having speech seasoned with salt doesn't mean you tip toe around the tulips.
11:15Not at all.
11:17Our speech being saturated with grace doesn't mean we nip and tuck and uphomize and beat around the bush, not at all.
11:28But we cannot afford the opportunities that God gives us to be opportunities that we engage
11:35solely in the flesh, that we don't consider relying upon the Spirit of God as we have the
11:41opportunity to engage the unbeliever, that we do not seek the wisdom of God as we have
11:47the opportunity to engage the unbeliever.
11:52The context here from which the exhortation for our speech to be laden with grace as though
12:00seasoned with salt has in view the interactions that we have with unbelievers
12:06primarily. Yes, it certainly should have Gracefield seasoned salt speech with the
12:15believer, but this context in this scripture is specifically has in view our
12:20interaction with the unbeliever and I'm gravely concerned that many in our
12:29nation, especially with the backdrop of the metastasizing wickedness that we've allowed
12:35our responsibility to contend for the faith to devolve into simply being contentious in
12:43the name of the faith.
12:45As opposed to conducting ourselves with wisdom and searching my own heart as I prepare for
12:54this program, I will be the first to confess to you.
12:58that I have not conducted myself with wisdom concerning unbelievers.
13:09And I've asked the Lord to forgive me for that and to give me an opportunity to rectify those circumstances.
13:18Because the Scripture says that we ought to make the most of each opportunity.
13:25Some translations there say redeeming the time.
13:28I simply want to encourage you to envelop this biblical disposition
13:36to make the most of every opportunity that God gives us,
13:45that we would conduct ourselves with wisdom
13:48at each opportunity, at each opportunity,
13:51that we would not miss any opportunities.
13:57We would conduct ourselves with wisdom
14:01so that at the end of verse six
14:03that we will know how we should respond to each person.
14:11Brothers and sisters, I simply wanna say
14:14that the wisdom of God is available for us
14:16to respond to each person with each opportunity,
14:19with the wisdom of God.
14:22Specified for that moment, specified for that engagement,
14:25specified for that encounter, specified for that opportunity.
14:30And at the love of God, and again,
14:32God's love ain't soft, they ain't man be payin' bein' weak.
14:37But it also is not fleshly.
14:40It's not just gettin' somethin' off your chest.
14:42It's not just an outlet to express ourselves in the flesh,
14:46but that we take advantage of each and every opportunity
14:49because it is God's instruction and His will
14:52for every believer to be an exponent,
14:55an outpost for the execution of His commission.
15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:04I was recently in conversation with another pastor
15:07and we were discussing the issue of some of the news stories
15:10about youth in our culture and nation.
15:13The pastor remarked,
15:15I've been praying and asking the Lord for what to do
15:18about all that's going on with our youth,
15:20without question where wise to pray
15:22and ask for wisdom and addressing most any problem
15:25in our world.
15:26God in His word always have an answer
15:28for every challenge we can possibly face.
15:31The answer to the challenges we face with our youth
15:34isn't complicated.
15:36In fact, the answer is much more simple
15:38than we may wish to admit.
15:41The answer to the problems in our culture
15:42for all that's going on amongst our youth is Jesus.
15:46Our children need to know Jesus Christ.
15:49And our children and youth need to be discipled in their faith.
15:53They need to be taught and trained
15:54to read the Word of God and walk in its wisdom.
16:06Shiting light into the darkness,
16:08this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham,
16:14Hamilton the third here.
16:16Listen, tomorrow evening at 6 p.m.,
16:19I will be joining Pastor Joseph Parker,
16:22AFR's own Pastor Joseph Parker at the Pregnancy Care and Hope Centers banquet.
16:28This will be their inaugural banquet that it will be a time of celebrating life, sharing
16:34powerful testimonies of transformation and raising the support that the Pregnancy Care
16:40and Hope Center needs to keep hope on the road through their mobile pregnancy care unit.
16:46As many of you know, Pastor Joseph is a brother who's been a guest on this program.
16:51shows to show here on AFR the hour of intercession.
16:54He's also a passionate advocate and committed advocate
16:59for the sanctity of human life.
17:00And he's a brother who I respect for a host of reasons,
17:03but including, they didn't want to just talk about it.
17:06He wants to be about it.
17:08And so the Lord moved him to start this ministry,
17:11specifically at this juncture,
17:12reaching out to the Delta area in the state of Mississippi.
17:15And he invited me to be the keynote speaker
17:19for their inaugural banquet.
17:22So if you are in the area or willing to come to the area,
17:25you are invited to join us tomorrow evening
17:28at 6 p.m. at the North Greenwood Baptist Church
17:32that's located at 615 Grand Boulevard
17:35in Greenwood, Mississippi, 38930.
17:39I'll give you that information again.
17:40The banquet will be tomorrow evening,
17:43starting at 6 p.m. at North Greenwood Baptist Church
17:46located at 615 Grand Boulevard in Greenwood, Mississippi,
17:50389-30.
17:53I'd love to meet you there, see you there,
17:55and join arms together as we contend for the faith
18:01and stand for life in 21st century America.
18:05It will be a wonderful time together, together.
18:08All right, I'm gonna do something that's radical.
18:13It's really not, but it's viewed as radical in his day and age.
18:17I'm gonna read from George Washington's farewell address.
18:22And I wanna do so for a host of reasons.
18:24This is a document that used to be studied
18:26in America's schools, but as our country has leaned more
18:30and more into a godless disposition,
18:33things like this have been kind of shuttled,
18:35shuttered I should say, to the background, you know?
18:39Because it's an inconvenient truth
18:42for those who have tried to assert
18:44that America has been nothing other than
18:47a secular nation and that simply is historically ignorant.
18:53It is we have never had a national religion like other nations,
18:58but our country has been populated largely by Christians
19:02and the dominant worldview has been anchored
19:07in a biblical ethos.
19:10All right, that's just a fact.
19:14All right, that's just a fact.
19:15That's why we have things like the evidentiary exception
19:19to the hearsay exclusionary rule called the dying declaration.
19:23Right? The hearsay rule, what is hearsay?
19:26hearsay is a statement offered outside of court
19:30that is asserted for the truth
19:34that is posited by the statement.
19:37Truth of the matter asserted.
19:39The exclusionary rule says that hearsay
19:41is excluded from courts of law in the United States of America.
19:45That applies to federal courts as well as state courts.
19:48But there's a rule that makes an exception for this particular type of hearsay because it has an inherent indication of reliability.
20:03Because the conditions under which this hearsay statement is uttered would indicate it has a higher level of truthfulness.
20:10That is a dying declaration.
20:12So, what is a dying declaration?
20:14A dying declaration is a hearsay statement, a statement uttered outside of a court of law,
20:22and that is offered as evidence inside of a legal proceeding to establish the truth of
20:27the matter asserted in the out-of-court statement.
20:29Well, what makes that particular statement acceptable to be admitted in a court of law
20:35in a trial or a hearing?
20:37A dying declaration is an out of court statement that is all that is uttered under the immediate
20:43perception by the statement provider or the speaker that they are about to die.
20:50What is the policy notion undergirding that exception to the here's the exclusionary rule
20:56that nobody on their way exiting this life will want to be caught lying because no one
21:06exiting this life would want to be caught lying.
21:09So what is the worldview implication from that?
21:13And as a point of the man wants to die and then the judgment.
21:17See the dying declaration as an exception
21:19to the hearsay exclusion every rule is anchored
21:22in a biblical worldview.
21:25Everybody follow me.
21:27There's no other reason for that guys.
21:30There's no other reason if America was steeped
21:33in an atheistic framework,
21:34there would be no dying declaration
21:36as an exclusion to the hearsay rule.
21:38Because the atheist worldview says,
21:41or what your dad you're done.
21:43So you will lie just as much when you're about to die
21:45as you will when you weren't about to die.
21:48But our legal system acknowledges
21:50that people have a propensity to be more truthful
21:54when they're about to die.
21:55There's no other explanation for that other than the scripture.
21:58I'm just illustrating a point from that.
22:00Now, turning to George Washington's farewell address,
22:06pinned at the end of his eight year terms,
22:08his eight years of service as United States president,
22:11first president under the US Constitution. There were no term
22:15numbers at the time, but his practice set the stage for what
22:19would become the presidential term limits, limits of two terms.
22:23When they wanted to make George Washington King, he said, no,
22:25thank you. That is not what we envisioned when this nation was
22:28founded. And he said this in his farewell address, of all the
22:35dispositions, quote, by the way, I'm quoting because I'm reading
22:38quote, of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political
22:44prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.
22:51In vain with that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should
22:55labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness.
22:59These firmest props of the duties of men and citizens, the mere
23:09politician equally with the pious man ought to respect and to
23:15cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public
23:22felicity. Let it simply be asked, where is the security for prosperity, for
23:29reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which
23:36are the instruments of investigation in the courts of justice. And let us with
23:47caution, indulge this opposition that morality can be maintained without religion.
23:57Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure,
24:04reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion
24:13of religious principle."
24:14end quote. Did y'all hear what I just read? I'm getting goosebumps thinking about this right now,
24:29because if you can describe the thrust of the United States of America for at a minimum
24:38the last 50 to 75 years, it could be summarized on the end of the quote I just read to you from George
24:46Washington's farewell address as a pursuit of national morality while excluding religious principle.
24:55George Washington says that that is not possible.
25:04And not just from, you know, a philosophical disposition.
25:09He says reason and experience would show it's not possible
25:16to preserve national morality while excluding religious principle.
25:21I mean, it is, it is amazing.
25:28Cause when he talks about political prosperity,
25:30he's not, he's not talking about who can have a successful campaign.
25:34He's talking about the framework and structure that is sustained and enduring
25:39that flows from the political processes in order for those things to remain prosperous.
25:47George Washington said religion and morality are indispensable.
25:50If you read this quote and for the sake of time and I have time to go to the entire
25:54thing, George Washington talked about several things that were preferable.
25:58This is better than that.
25:59This was better than that.
26:01But when he came to religion and morality and its impact on the nation, he said,
26:05this is indispensable. For those all the way in the back, indispensable means we can't
26:12get it going without this. It ain't going to work without this is what George Washington
26:17is saying. He asserted as I mentioned previously that he questions and challenged the notion
26:31of patriotism of those who would work to subvert these as he described them quote as
26:39these great pillars of human happiness, happiness, the firmest support, the firmest props of
26:48the duties of men and citizens.
26:53He gave examples that I simply ask, where is the security for prosperity?
26:57Now, he's on my material prosperity.
26:59How can we be secure in our persons, our property, our belongings?
27:05How can we be secured from being defamed?
27:11How can our very lives be secure?
27:15Remember that thing from the declaration life?
27:19Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. How can we be secure in our lives if the sense of religious obligation dessert the oaths which are instruments of investigation?
27:28What I'm saying folks
27:31and we have we have a
27:34lot of
27:35components that make up our body politic here in our country to summarize with George Washington the saying guys and
27:45He wrote this in 1796
27:48All right before the turn of the century
27:52that if we're going to have a future as a nation,
27:54there's no way we can allow religion and morality to be
27:57sidelined.
27:59We have lots of conversations about who you selected here and
28:03the makeup of the courts and the Congress this, you know,
28:08right now you have the whole redistricting in Texas.
28:11Oh, we're going to redistricting in California.
28:13Oh, we're going to redistrict here, redistrict there.
28:16But you know, we don't have as much conversation as much
28:19much conversation about the role that the church is supposed to play in producing the types of
28:26citizens that are only, that are, that the types of citizens that are necessary to preserve and
28:36continue this experiment in individual liberty. People that are concerned with the American way of
28:51life should be concerned with there being a robust disciple making, thriving church in our nation.
29:00If you look at the decline in America, you cannot help but identify the decline corresponds
29:14with the decline of the public witness of the body of Christ and our nation.
29:19I mention just because it is a recent historical phenomenon that the schism in the United Methodist
29:29church, you know, the church founded by John Wesley was
29:34preceded by schisms and previous denominations in our nation.
29:41That was preceded by the church's seduction being seduced by
29:45secularism by this, you know, yielding to the siren song of
29:55Darwinism, that undergird a biblical anthropology in generation
30:03after generation, the public witness of the bride of Christ
30:06in our nation has winnowed and winnowed and winnowed to now it's an area of people.
30:18There was a time where it used to be, regardless of a party, where it used to be a feather in
30:25your cap.
30:27If you are a president who had an occasion with a Billy Graham, for example, what's happened
30:37there?
30:41The silent contributing factor, and I'm saying silent because it's not discussed publicly,
30:48The silent yet one of the most pronounced contributing factors to America's condition
30:59has been the softening and the weakening and the secularizing of the Lord's Church.
31:09And I want to be clear for everyone listening and watching.
31:12When I say the Lord's Church, I'm not talking about buildings, man.
31:16I'm talking about the people.
31:20Talking about the people.
31:21My heart breaks that when I travel one of the most consistent questions I'm asking is
31:26where can I find a good church?
31:30It breaks my heart.
31:32really, really does.
31:38Why do I want the church to discuss these things?
31:45One of the things contributing to the national schism,
31:48and we see the bulkinessation in our nation politically,
31:53but God's politics is nothing more
31:55than an externalization of what people believe.
31:58Say differently, it's an externalization of theology.
32:04And what we largely have is an effort to pursue
32:07and establish a notion of morality,
32:09void of scripture,
32:12void of the gospel void of Christ.
32:18So when you have that as a pursuit,
32:20it becomes nothing more than a ping pong serve
32:24and return volley effort of humanism.
32:31This is why I said people want to say,
32:32well, this is we're no longer talking
32:34about Republicans and Democrats,
32:35we're talking about good versus evil.
32:37But what do you do when both sides are saying
32:39that we are good and you are evil?
32:44Because biblical morality has been jettisoned.
32:48We should not be surprised as the public was witness of the church, the client of our nation, our nation.

34:00Trustworthy Bible. This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian World View. The
34:06Bible claims to be the inspired Word of God. Succompeteer 1 says,
34:11No prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy
34:16Spirit spoke from God. God inspired 40 men to write the 66 books of the Bible
34:23over a span of about 1500 years on three continents in three languages. The
34:28The original manuscripts no longer exist, so can we trust our modern English translations
34:34to be anything like the original?
34:36The answer is yes.
34:37When comparing the thousands of copies of the Old and New Testaments, the accuracy is
34:42substantively identical.
34:44Here are most recent programs on the trustworthiness of the Bible at TheChristianWorldView.org and
34:50then tune in this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.
34:54Listen to The Christian World View with David Wheaton.
34:56Saturday mornings at 8th Central on American Family Radio.
35:05The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute common
35:08territories are available at EFR.net back to the
35:11Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, the third
35:18here guys, what I'm saying, I'm attempting to say is the body of
35:25Christ is comprised of many members, his first
35:28and 10 is 12 lays it out. We need price followers in every discipline. We need spirit field,
35:37field, Christ following physicians, medical practitioners, bankers, postmen, lawyers, sanitation
35:46engineers, homemakers. But guys, if we have the greatest Supreme Court in the world, great
35:59bankers, great candidates for elective office, but we are not making disciples across the generations.
36:09And we have the system of civic functioning that we have today where the people, as the
36:18decoration has said, governments derived their just powers from the consent of the governed.
36:23What do you think an increasingly wicked populace will consent to? This is what I'm saying. If we,
36:29If we address all of the peripheral matters and we allow the core to remain unaddressed, we may at best
36:42delay the inevitable, but we're not, you know, we may be trimming the hedges, but we're not uprooting
36:51the weeds. And because of, and I understand, because of the frustration, many people have concluded,
37:01well, we have to focus on what's going on in our government, you know, because what, the side of
37:07that in many times unspoken thing is because, because the church has become
37:10feckless. The church has become weakened. And I'm just
37:23gravely concerned that many people are finding their footing, finding their
37:27place of settling in to where they're solely concerned about political
37:32ongoing. Oh, you come on get to what the Trump do today. Tell me about that.
37:36You know, tell me about the Putin, Putin summit. Is Zelensky gonna come to the
37:39table? Tell me about that. And those things are important. No doubt about it.
37:48Today you had, you know, one of these transnational cartel drug dealers, you know, which is
37:57who pled guilty in federal court in DC today. But why is the United States of America such
38:03an attractive market for the drug dealers? Why are so many Americans hooked on drugs?
38:14We understand supply and demand. And listen, I would never excuse a drug dealer. Lock them
38:22throw away the key. I props you to drug dealers. So don't
38:29misconstrued what I'm saying. But if we continue to deal with
38:32the fruit and we never get to the root, we're fooling ourselves.
38:37We're fooling ourselves. And the fooling ourselves becomes so
38:42foolish that you have others who will take advantage of our
38:46Constitution, Republican, former government perverted and
38:48twisted and say, yeah, let's take advantage of your
38:50Constitution to establish an American caliphate. Has anybody
38:53heard of Dearborn Michigan lately. If you don't know, Dearborn is United States City
39:02to where you're more likely to come across a Muslim called a prayer than you
39:07are to come across an evangelist sharing the gospel door to door on the
39:13street corner. How does that happen in the United States of America? I'm using
39:20them as an example. It's happening in other portraits of our city or of our
39:24other cities all around our country. I told you about the effort to build this
39:32This community in North of Dallas, in Texas,
39:43epic city.
39:47Guys, if we focus only, well,
39:49what is the governor gonna do about it?
39:52And we don't consider, wait a minute,
39:55the church is to be the pillar and grout of truth,
39:57that's what God said.
40:07Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about.
40:12Our just, the latter part of this past week,
40:19Virginia's current lieutenant governor,
40:21Win some Sears, is running for governor in Virginia.
40:25That's Bobby's old stomping rounds.
40:27You know, we send Bobby a,
40:33a missive via carrier pigeon.
40:37And he said, hey, if I got my passport,
40:38can I move to America?
40:42I'm joking.
40:44But Lieutenant Governor Win some Sears spoke at
40:50a meeting of the Arlington County School Board in Virginia.
40:56What happened in Arlington County, Virginia,
40:59a sex offender gained access to a girls restroom at a local high school, how?
41:06Under the banner of transgenderism.
41:10A boy claimed to be a girl.
41:13The school board officials said, yeah, you could use a girls restroom.
41:19Governor Sears, Lieutenant Governor Sears, spoke at this rally saying that this should
41:23have never happened.
41:24Many of you may recall I covered the case out of Loudon County where this happened, where
41:28a boy not only identified himself as a girl, it's Loudon County Virginia I'm talking about.
41:33Access girls restrooms and sexually assaulted several girls and guess what the schools did
41:40Keep a secret. Let's just send them to another school and what did you do at the next school the same thing?
41:47How's it possible is happening all other the guys are?
41:55transgenderism transgenderism at its core rejects
42:00biblical
42:02Instruction and the biblical worldview concerning identity and this human sexuality
42:07sexuality. All right, some of you know, my minor is in psychology. When I was in school,
42:15the guideline that the mental health professionals utilized is called the diagnostic and statistical
42:20manual. All right, as the push for same six marriage was in full swing, there was concerted
42:28effort because almost homosexuality and transgenderism, by the way, were previously described in
42:32the DSM as mental pathologies. All right, they were saying that people claim to be this,
42:38something is wrong with you mentally. That's what the DSM said.
42:43Following a massive not scientific campaign, political
42:48campaign, we don't like that that is in a DSM. So money interests,
42:53lobbied and appealed to the American Psychiatric Association.
42:58And what happens? Walla, as a result of public political
43:03pressure, the APA removes homosexuality from being described
43:08as a mental pathology.
43:12What happened to a society where mental health professionals
43:15previously recognized as a product of scientific query
43:20that these types of lifestyles were aberrations
43:24from normality in not just aberrations,
43:26they were harmful to the individuals.
43:29That's what a pathology is.
43:35Well, true, it's falling in the streets.
43:41Well, surprisingly, not, you had a group called
43:44The Arlington Democrats who showed up to protest, protest lieutenant governor,
43:50when some Sears is presentation before the Arlington County School Board.
43:55And one of them had artwork that they brought with him.
44:02Jeff, you want to show the people the artwork?
44:06Had a little bit of artwork that wanted to bring with them to the protest.
44:15When you let me, I'm waiting for it to get on the screens I can describe it.
44:18But yeah, go ahead and put it up.
44:20It's up.
44:21I don't say there it is.
44:23If you're watching the show, I'm going to describe this for those who are listening audio only.
44:27But you had this person, we end up learning her name.
44:29Her name was Anita Martynow.
44:32She has a sign.
44:33You see that sign, Bobby?
44:34I'll read it for you.
44:35This is what Anita Martynow signed and she was there with the Arlington, Virginia Democrats
44:41says, quote, hey, when's them?
44:45If trans can't share your bathroom,
44:49then blacks can't share my water fountain."
44:53In quote, y'all see that?
44:55You watching the show?
44:55You see that?
44:56That's at the Arlington County School Board.
45:01Yeah, yeah, yeah.
45:02Go ahead, go ahead and take it in.
45:03I'm gonna let it look, let's take it in for a little bit.
45:05Yeah.
45:08Now, I didn't even mention,
45:10Lieutenant Governor Winson Sears
45:11happens to be a black woman,
45:12more melanated as myself, you know.
45:15So what do you think, a need a hand in mind,
45:18when she came out with that sign?
45:19Nah, wait, wait, wait, what do you think?
45:21What do you think?
45:22Is that surprising from the same party
45:25that supported the Ku Klux Klan,
45:26that opposed the Civil Rights Act,
45:29who reversed the Civil Rights Act of the 1856?
45:33See, a lot of people wanna talk about
45:35the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
45:36Why don't we have conversations
45:38about the Civil Rights Movement of the 1860s?
45:41Huh?
45:42You ever wonder why?
45:44You ever thought about that?
45:50What I'm driving and I want to be fair and want to be clear, after this protest sign went viral,
45:56the Arlington, Virginia Democrats denounced the sign saying, you know, we don't support
46:03this.
46:04This is racism, discrimination, you know, whatever.
46:08They didn't house it.
46:09But it's interesting because the little bird is on the ground said, wait a minute, they
46:14only denounce the sign once it started going viral around the country because the Arlington,
46:20a Democrats chairman, Steve Baker, that was named me.
46:23That was my name is Steve, I'm gonna call him Steve.
46:25Steve Baker was rocking around with Anita, Martin O,
46:29saw the sign, said nothing about it until people realized,
46:34oh, listen, people started getting pictured,
46:36that sign is going viral, you need to take that down.
46:39And all of a sudden, all of a sudden,
46:40all of a sudden, Virginia Democrats
46:42come out to condemn the sign.
46:49Why do you think this lady Anita, Anita Martin O used her
46:53kindergarten crayons?
46:55you know from the big box, you know, those 64 colors,
46:57you know, not 32 or the 16 or not even the eight.
47:01She used her 64 pack.
47:04She might even have the little sharpener in the package.
47:06You remember that, Krayola with the sharpener in there?
47:08To go ahead and put the multi-color sign up.
47:12Hey, winsome.
47:14If a boy can't go in a girl's bathroom,
47:18and notice how she said if a boy can't share your bathroom,
47:23then black people can't share my water fountain.
47:32And this is a grown woman, folks.
47:34She had no like Wylie Coyote,
47:38cartoon, thought bubble popped the bubble on her head.
47:42Maybe you don't wanna put this on the sign.
47:45Nah, nah, yeah, he don't wanna do that.
47:49Nah, I never popped up.
47:52And I'm not asking you to evaluate this in political terms.
47:57What does the scripture say?
47:58Out of the abundance of the heart.
48:01I don't know why I can hear it now.
48:02Oh Abraham, you wanna talk about race?
48:03You wanna, what about these people who are racist?
48:06The yoke is there.
48:09This is which group is labeled racist.
48:12My concern about the wicked populace overall.
48:17You don't see the irony of a person attempting to protect what God has said is abominable by
48:33conflating her protection for the abominable with a decimation of the amago day.
48:39This is what I'm talking about folks.
48:43the same type of cognitive dissonance that'll have, you like to lock up kids in cages and
48:51separate kids from their moms on the border or the same people that say, moms should be
48:55able to separate themselves from their children in the womb.
48:59Don't see it at all.
49:01Don't see it at all.
49:06And I feel like Paul writing to Galatians, all full of Galatians who has been with you
49:16in the sad reality of the people having no problem with the signs until it goes viral.
49:30Our concern guys is that by and large, and there are exceptions.
49:34There are exceptions.
49:35The Lord has a remnant in our nation.
49:36The Lord had to show Elijah.
49:39There's 7,000 prophets who haven't filed any to Baal.
49:44But I'm saying by and large, man, the church has fallen down on her job in our nation and
49:55making disciples.
49:56And we've allowed ourselves largely to become a by word in our society instead of making
50:05the most of every opportunity, availing ourselves with the wisdom of God to know how we should
50:13respond to each person.
50:19And the reality is that as Reagan said about freedom, freedom is always only one generation
50:26away from extinction.
50:27The same is true with the necessity of making disciples.
50:33We must be faithful each generation.
