1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28And now, The Hamilton Corner.
11. 1:01perpetually recovering neighborhood,
12. 1:03Woodahawalick, ladies and gentlemen,
13. 1:05Mr. Marty Sparks is lighting up the dark from there.
14. 1:09And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition
15. 1:12of the program, I hope and pray that you all had a fruitful
16. 1:17and enjoyable weekend.
17. 1:21This past weekend, many of us had the day off on Monday,
18. 1:25but we're ready to rock and roll today at this very moment.
19. 1:29Many of you, if not most of you,
20. 1:30making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs
21. 1:37where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality,
22. 1:43recognizing the privacy that God places on the family. I cannot state this enough. We have to
23. 1:50recognize what God has done in establishing the family. If we fail to recognize the design
24. 2:01significance and potency that God has established through our families and in
25. 2:05our families, we are going to fail to understand how we are to engage in this
26. 2:16day and time. The agents of darkness very, very simply work over time to access
27. 2:28your families and my family. The press of this wicked culture is inescapable, but
28. 2:37But this is not to cause us to be fearful at all because the Sovereign King of Glory planted
29. 2:41us for this moment, knowing full well what we were going to confront in our day and age.
30. 2:46But we need to be sure that we employ the weapons of our warfare, which the scripture describes
31. 2:54as divinely powerful.
32. 2:58What goes on in your house simply put as more important than what goes on in the White House,
33. 3:02because you and I are directly accountable for what transpires in our homes.
34. 3:06We do not have direct access to instruct or to direct what transpires in the White House,
35. 3:11but we do have direct access and capacity to instruct and direct what happens in our homes.
36. 3:18And what God requires of His people is that we all are committed to outcome cultivation
37. 3:23as that outcome cultivation is the overflow of what we enjoy in the Lord personally.
38. 3:30He's not asking us to sell what we have in purchase.
39. 3:34commanding us out of the overflow of what we enjoy with him to compel men and women to be
40. 3:42reconciled to the King of glory. And this is our duty. This is our charge. And this is the command
41. 3:50we have from now until our Lord returns until He calls us home. That's the simple reality.
42. 4:01Before any other human institutions were established, the family was established with marriage at the
43. 4:04center. Before any other commands were given, the first command to mankind was given within the familial
44. 4:10context, because God designed it that way. It would be prudent for us to understand it,
45. 4:17to heed it, and to respond accordingly. To the word of God, we go Ezekiel chapter 1. Ezekiel chapter
46. 4:241, verses 1 through 3, is where we're going to go by way of reminder. Ezekiel, you're going to see
47. 4:31was actually a priest whom the Lord called to add texture to his life and devotion to
48. 4:42Yahweh by functioning prophetically. He ministered to the exile Jews in Babylon. And the word
49. 4:55of God unsurprisingly is instructive for us on so many fronts. When I pray this is encouraging
50. 5:03and edifying to you as well.
51. 5:05Ezekiel chapter 1 verses 1 through 3.
52. 5:07Now what came about in the 30th year,
53. 5:10on the fifth day of the fourth month,
54. 5:12while I was by the river Chibar among the exiles,
55. 5:16the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
56. 5:19On the fifth of the month,
57. 5:20in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin's exile,
58. 5:24the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel,
59. 5:26the priest, son of Buzi,
60. 5:29in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chibar.
61. 5:32And there, the hand of the Lord came upon him.
62. 5:36There is much that is instructive to us,
63. 5:38and I know some of you are thinking,
64. 5:39what from those verses, they just stick with me.
65. 5:42First thing I want to mention to you
66. 5:45is that the entire book of Ezekiel,
67. 5:47and then I'll add this,
68. 5:49Ezekiel's regarded as one of the major prophets,
69. 5:52that denotion is not because he and Jeremiah and Isaiah
70. 5:56are more significant than the others
71. 5:58who are described as minor prophets,
72. 5:59simply as meant to convey the length of their writings.
73. 6:04So theologians have described the major prophets as major
74. 6:07because of the length and duration of their writings.
75. 6:09The minor prophets are described as minor
76. 6:11because their writings are shorter.
77. 6:12That's it.
78. 6:13But they're all equally significant, equally a part
79. 6:17of the canon of God's Holy script.
80. 6:20All right.
81. 6:21Having said that, the first thing I want to emphasize for you
82. 6:25that the book of Ezekiel in and of itself
83. 6:29stands for us as another demonstration of God's sovereignty being consistently and continually
84. 6:39potent. Here you have God's people. They have been exiled into Babylon yet. God nevertheless
85. 6:46provides a witness for his people. Many times in our lives we face ups, we face downs,
86. 6:53and if we are not anchored biblically, we could yield to a temptation that would suggest if we face
87. 6:59a circumstantial downturn in our lives. It is as if God somehow is no longer available, no longer
88. 7:08accessible. Oh, dare I say, it doesn't exist. I want to simply remind you guys, you have the
89. 7:14prophet Ezekiel who was a priest who found himself in Judah, sorry, in Babylon, exiled, yet the exile
90. 7:25does not prevent God from ministering to him and through him in that exiled condition.
91. 7:34The next thing I want to point out to you, and this is where if you're taking notes, or you go back
92. 7:38and listen to this, across reference this text is E.Q. 1, verse 1 through 3 with 2 Kings chapter 24.
93. 7:45Because the 2 Kings 24, it explains a bit more detail. The Babylonian exile was actually a product
94. 7:52of a siege work initially. And then it culminated into intensifications from the Babylonians that
95. 8:00culminated in about 586 BC with the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. But it begins at about
96. 8:07606, 605 BC as a siege. Daniel was mentioned as one of the first of the exiles, the book of Daniel
97. 8:15explains that. Would you have others that come thereafter? Ezekiel was one that comes thereafter
98. 8:21exiled at about 597 BC there. So in 2 Kings 24, it explains how
99. 8:28Jehoya kin, Jehoya chin's father was kind of a vassal king for
100. 8:34time under Babylon. But then, you know, he's like, man, I'm tired
101. 8:39of being a vassal. We're gonna fight against the Babylonians.
102. 8:43And then that led to a reprisal by the Babylonians, an increase,
103. 8:47persecution and a dethroning of the joya kin in Nebuchadnezzar, then places
104. 8:56joya chin on the throne. And when I'm saying replaces joya kin, Nebuchadnezzar had him execute,
105. 9:03simply put. Excuse me. Then you have joya chin who is king of Judah, who is king at the time,
106. 9:13that Ezekiel is exiled to Babylon.
107. 9:18So in verse two, when Ezekiel explains his book as coming in the fifth year of
108. 9:25Jeho'y'a-chin's exile, he's explaining that when Yahweh reveals himself in this
109. 9:30way, Ezekiel had been exiled to Babylon five years, which compounds the point
110. 9:40I was making to you before.
111. 9:41Not only was Ezekiel in Babylon, but it had been five long years.
112. 9:47Can you imagine Ezekiel's disposition in those five years?
113. 9:52Being a Levitical priest, the entire focal point of his life,
114. 9:57administrative Yahweh has now been removed from him.
115. 10:01He's not in Jerusalem and Judah when the temple
116. 10:05was finally destroyed, but as you know,
117. 10:07it ultimately is destroyed.
118. 10:08He's cut off from the Lord's temple, cut off from his function.
119. 10:11Can you imagine his disposition?
120. 10:15Well, where are you?
121. 10:17Yahweh, where are you?
122. 10:20Nevertheless, though five years have transpired,
123. 10:26they have an nullified deservant of Yahweh.
124. 10:32We have to remember that though we function
125. 10:34within the timeline of human history,
126. 10:37God is not a feature of the human history timeline.
127. 10:40He exists outside of the timeline and he created,
128. 10:43which is why he can be at the beginning and at the end
129. 10:46and in the middle all at once.
130. 10:50He is not subjected to our timeline.
131. 10:57Nevertheless, five years after exile,
132. 11:01God begins to reveal himself to Daniel.
133. 11:03I'm sorry to Ezekiel in another fashion.
134. 11:06Then I want you to know what as it says in verse three,
135. 11:10the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel, the priest.
136. 11:16Ezekiel was a priest born to function.
137. 11:22As a Levitical priest,
138. 11:24Yet here the Lord is adding texture to his call for Ezekiel,
139. 11:30adding a prophetic function to Ezekiel's relationship
140. 11:35with him and his call to him.
141. 11:37And this is why I'm very cautious
142. 11:40and I would encourage others to adopt this caution.
143. 11:44I'm cautious against describing things
144. 11:46that God has called me to as quote unquote, my ministry
145. 11:50because simply put brothers and sisters
146. 11:52is not my ministry.
147. 11:53The ministry is the Lord.
148. 11:55And if he entrusts an aspect of his ministry to me,
149. 11:59it is still his ministry that he has called me
150. 12:03to function with them.
151. 12:05And we have to be very careful that our fidelity
152. 12:08is to the caller and not to a particular assignment
153. 12:12within the context of the call,
154. 12:13because we could very well find ourselves resisting God's
155. 12:17efforts to add texture to the ministry he's calling us to.
156. 12:20Perfect example, imagine Yahweh revealing himself to Ezekiel,
157. 12:25Calling him to function prophetically in Babylon and yet Ezekiel going no no no Lord. I'm a priest
158. 12:33I'm not a prophet. I'm not a prophet
159. 12:38clinging clinging so
160. 12:41hard to
161. 12:43His ministry that he rejects God's effort to add texture to what he's calling him to
162. 12:50Sometimes in our lives God has called us to a historical iteration of faithfulness
163. 12:54But then he begins to stretch us and seeks to add texture to our functioning.
164. 13:00If we are not prudent, if we don't have the proper disposition, consented law, we can find ourselves
165. 13:08saying, no, no, no, no, this is where this is my ministry, not this over here.
166. 13:12It could find ourselves kicking against the very thing God is attempting to add to us.
167. 13:17It's not my ministry.
168. 13:21This is a ministry that God has called me to for this stage, for this season, for this function.
169. 13:26season for this function.
170. 13:28By God's grace, I'm in the life stage
171. 13:29while I have young children in my home.
172. 13:32They are my second responsibility,
173. 13:38ministerially, after my wife externally,
174. 13:41my second external ministerial responsibility.
175. 13:44But guess what?
176. 13:45The time will come when I don't have young children
177. 13:47in my home any longer.
178. 13:49What am I gonna do now?
179. 13:51What will I do at that point?
180. 13:52Oh Lord, I need to go and find somebody else
181. 13:54to do something with.
182. 13:55Maybe I need to go do something
183. 13:56to keep this happening in my home.
184. 13:57No, the Lord may add texture to what he's requiring of me.
185. 14:04The priest has now being called to function prophetically.
186. 14:10And then lastly, reiterating the point I began with,
187. 14:13the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel,
188. 14:15the priest's son of Boosy in the land of the Chaldeans.
189. 14:18Notice the Lord didn't remove Ezekiel from Babylon
190. 14:22while he added texture to him,
191. 14:24added texture to what he was requiring of him.
192. 14:26He was still in the same locale,
193. 14:28but with an expanded function that God was requiring of him.
194. 14:33All of this is instructive for us.
195. 14:36Not prescriptive saying that God must do it this way,
196. 14:39but it is descriptive of how God operates with his people.
197. 14:44It is incumbent upon us to be wise, prudent,
198. 14:48biblically anchored disciples of Messiah.
199. 14:52And as we are anchored in his holy word,
200. 14:54we will be able to engage successfully
201. 14:56in what he calls us to.
202. 15:00a discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
203. 15:03He who dwells in the secret place of the most high
204. 15:06shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
205. 15:08I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge
206. 15:10and my fortress, my God, in Him, I will trust.
207. 15:14Psalm 91 verses one and two.
208. 15:16In a perilous world, so many people are afraid.
209. 15:20They're fearful.
210. 15:21In a world where inner cities and many other communities
211. 15:24are just simply dangerous places to be.
212. 15:26We see the drug trafficking, human trafficking,
213. 15:29muggings, murders, physical and sexual abuse.
214. 15:33There is a place of safety in this world,
215. 15:35and it's found in God.
216. 15:37It's found in that secret place,
217. 15:39that intimate relationship with God,
218. 15:41no one can protect you like God can,
219. 15:44but it's important for us to do our part
220. 15:46to appropriate to place ourselves in that secret place.
221. 15:50Praying Psalm 91 every day is a very wise thing
222. 15:52for all believers to do.
223. 15:55No one can protect you like God can.
224. 16:00As we share the Gospel and encouragement in the Lord, we love to hear from our listeners.
225. 16:05If you have an AFR story, now is your chance to tell it.
226. 16:10If we've ever helped you, encouraged you or brought a word at just the right time, we'd
227. 16:22love to hear about it.
228. 16:23Dial 877-876-8893 and leave a minute or two voicemail.
229. 16:29It's 877-876-8893.
230. 16:33We have been so grateful for the years, for the fact that we were bridging this everywhere.
231. 16:40Tell us your AFR story.
232. 16:42You might hear yourself on the air during Paul Sharethon, October 7th through 9th.
233. 16:46We're collecting AFR and listener stories, and we'd love to hear yours.
234. 16:51That number again is 877-876-8893.
235. 16:56Thanks for being a part of American Family Radio.
236. 17:26around the world, they're part of our spiritual family.
237. 17:28They're new to the faith.
238. 17:29They want to know what it means to grow in the grace
239. 17:31and knowledge of Jesus.
240. 17:32But God has them planning where it's very difficult
241. 17:35to access a Bible.
242. 17:36And that's why AFR and Bible Leaguer teamed up this month
243. 17:39to bless 4,000 waiting believers all over the world
244. 17:41at $5 of Bible.
245. 17:43Would you consider a dollar a day?
246. 17:45A $30 a month pledge will take care of 72 waiting Christians
247. 17:49over the next year.
248. 17:50Would you pray about that and get involved today?
249. 17:52You can give by calling 800 yes word, 800 yes word.

252. 18:00Shiting light into the darkness,
253. 18:07this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
254. 18:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham, Hamilton,
255. 18:13the third here shortly before coming on to the air,
256. 18:19President Trump was conducting an Oval Office session,
257. 18:23if you will with reporters and some of the things he said
258. 18:26have been confirmed or should I say echoed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and what
259. 18:34President Trump said in the Oval Office was quote, just over the last minutes, literally,
260. 18:41we shut out a boat, a drug carrying boat.
261. 18:43It just happened moments ago when our great general head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he
262. 18:46gave us a little bit of a briefing.
263. 18:49There's more where that came from noting that a lot of drugs, lots, a lot of drugs have
264. 18:56been pouring into the US from Venezuela shortly after that Marco Rubio posted on the artist
265. 19:03formerly known as Twitter, said quote, as potus just announced moments ago that today, the
266. 19:08US military conducted a lethal strike in the Southern Caribbean against a drug vessel,
267. 19:14which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco terrorist
268. 19:19organization. Now I'm I'm I'm
269. 19:24pointing that out because our
270. 19:27military had deployed more than
271. 19:294,000 Marines and sailors to the
272. 19:31waters around Latin America
273. 19:33prior to this strike and the
274. 19:34Caribbean as part of a ramped up
275. 19:36effort to combat drug cartels.
276. 19:38All right. And so with this with
277. 19:42this you have this strike which
278. 19:45have been described so far as a
279. 19:47precision strike against these
280. 19:51drug cartels. And as Mark Herubia pointed out, a designated narco terrorist organization.
281. 19:57So I wanted you, you want it, you all to be aware of that, that that, that had transpired
282. 20:04just now, which, which indicates, you know, and, you know, people may get upset with me
283. 20:09for saying this, but I don't care. If the United States of America wants, wanted to end the drug
284. 20:17traffic in our country, we have to wear with all to do it. We have to wear with all to do it.
285. 20:24So the question has to be asked why haven't we done it?
286. 20:30Why not?
287. 20:32You know, we have and I appreciate this strike, you know, and we have portions of our nation
288. 20:42being overrun with fentanyl.
289. 20:44We know it's being made by the Chinese who have said they want to kill us and mainly who
290. 20:51said they want to supplant our nation as a global preeminent superpower.
291. 20:57And they've called themselves as being engaged currently in all out warfare against our nation.
292. 21:05You have, you know, the Mexican cartels using the Chinese produced fentanyl and others and
293. 21:12not just fentanyl cocaine, heroin.
294. 21:15You know, do we need to be talking about El Chapo and all of this stuff?
295. 21:21If we wanted to stop what we would, why haven't we followed the money?
296. 21:27So I'm grateful for this, but I am curious as to what's the ultimate objective.
297. 21:35And I know that those who oppose the Trump administration are just trying to, you know,
298. 21:40rope a dopamine in front, law fair, congressional stalling.
299. 21:44I still can't imagine it can't fathom for the life of me why we have a US president who is
300. 21:49identified with a Republican party.
301. 21:51We have a Republican Senate with a majority of 53 to 47, yet we have Trump appointees who
302. 21:59I've not been confirmed.
303. 22:00Y'all wanna go figure that out for me?
304. 22:02How does that work?
305. 22:04You know, how does that work?
306. 22:09You have Mexican elected officials coming out and saying,
307. 22:16they welcome the US's help in stopping these cartels.
308. 22:21Well, you have the Mexican president saying,
309. 22:23no, no, no, they don't want, they don't want,
310. 22:25the US's help.
311. 22:31I'm just saying, if we wanted to, we could.
312. 22:36we have the wherewithal.
313. 22:38So do we really want to.
314. 22:43All right, I'm gonna move on from that,
315. 22:46but we have made a strike against a ship
316. 22:49that's departed from Venezuela,
317. 22:51according to the president and the Secretary of State.
318. 22:55Very interested to see where this goes.
319. 23:01Just before the holiday we can ensue last week
320. 23:04in a special session in the Texas State Legislature,
321. 23:06you know, the ones that the Democrats have sconded from
322. 23:08before and then they only came back
323. 23:10to go right into the special session.
324. 23:12So effective, right?
325. 23:15That was a bill that was passed by the state Senate.
326. 23:23Senate Bill 8, it was passed by the Texas Senate, 86 to 43.
327. 23:30But I wanna present this to you because you've heard me say
328. 23:34that we are in the time period where it's no doubt
329. 23:39spiritual warfare is afoot, no doubt about it.
330. 23:44You've heard people say we're no longer in the era
331. 23:46where it's, you know, Democrats versus Republicans,
332. 23:49politically it's an issue of good versus evil,
333. 23:51right versus wrong, righteousness versus wickedness.
334. 23:54I've heard that in pretty sure many of you have heard that.
335. 23:58But here's the thing though, a lot of the people
336. 24:02that are saying this, they may be on separate sides
337. 24:07of an issue, but both of them are saying
338. 24:08that they're on the side of righteousness.
339. 24:11So guess what's required in order to know where you and I
340. 24:16should stand, that is called discernment.
341. 24:23I continue to echo Charles Spurgeon's description,
342. 24:28Charles Spurgeon's description of this
343. 24:30sermon, not merely distinguishing right versus wrong,
344. 24:33but distinguishing right from almost, right?
345. 24:39The Texas Senators debated Senate Bill 8,
346. 24:41which is called the Texas Women's Privacy Act.
347. 24:47The bill requires males to use male restrooms,
348. 24:51females to use female restrooms.
349. 24:53The bill also prohibits men from entering women's domestic
350. 24:59violence shelters.
351. 25:01duh. That sure is deep. No. It prohibits men from entering women's domestic violence shelters.
352. 25:12In the debate over this bill, which lasted four hours, four hours. Think about that. A state
353. 25:20legislature debated four hours whether or not men should be allowed at the women's restrooms
354. 25:24in intimate spaces, four hours. But what I want you to know about this debate is that
355. 25:33that senators on both sides of the argument quoted scripture to support their position.
356. 25:45You had supporters of the legislation that wanted to keep men out of women's spaces that
357. 25:49refer to scripture as a basis to support their position.
358. 25:54But guess what?
359. 25:56You had opponents of the measure who also referred to scripture.
360. 26:01I will remind you that when Satan tempted Jesus, what did he use?
361. 26:07Scripture, stripped from its context, falsely and misapplied, sure.
362. 26:15But he used Scripture.
363. 26:18Demons, no Scripture.
364. 26:22So how do we navigate this?
365. 26:25God's word requires right division.
366. 26:31Discernment is not optional, folks.
367. 26:33In the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Spirit of God conveyed through the text that at the
368. 26:44The time that you should be able to help and train others you have need to be taught again,
369. 26:50the basic principles.
370. 26:54You cannot abide strong meat.
371. 26:56You need milk because strong meat is reserved for those who have had their senses for discerning,
372. 27:03right, rightly exercised by reason of use.
373. 27:11You had two legislators in particular who opposed a bill that simply said men should be kept
374. 27:18out of women's intimate spaces.
375. 27:21Representative Raphael Anchia from the Dallas County area.
376. 27:28To oppose the bill to say, now you need to keep men out of women's spaces, bro.
377. 27:33Representative Anchia invoked Galatians Chapter 3.
378. 27:37And look, he was saying it with his whole chest.
379. 27:40Let's go to Galatians Chapter 3, shall we?
380. 27:45Galatians Chapter 3, Representative Anchia quoted verse 28.
381. 27:50Mm-hmm. I thought I was in Galatians. I was in Colossians.
382. 28:02Galatians chapter 3, representative Anciya, quote, verse 28, verse 28 of chapter 3 says this,
383. 28:08there is neither June or Greek, there is neither slave nor freeman, there is neither male nor female,
384. 28:13for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Well, that's what the text says. That's what God's word says.
385. 28:20But you see, representative Anciya was doing great violence to the scripture,
386. 28:27because he ripped this verse kicking and screaming out of his context to say, to say.
387. 28:33And I'm going to tell you give the quote that he said. He said, quote,
388. 28:39I want to refer to an important passage in Galatians 3 verse 28.
389. 28:44There was neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free. There is no male or female for you are all
390. 28:50one. He said, so he's using this verse to posit the notions, the notion that there's no male or female.
391. 29:00This is why you must know the word of God for yourself.
392. 29:04Because when you see a man, and I'm going to be very candid here,
393. 29:09this man is functioning in this stage as an agent of hell.
394. 29:13Because he's taking God's holy word and twisting it to say the exact opposite
395. 29:19of what the full counsel of God word says about humanity
396. 29:24and his making of mankind in his image.
397. 29:27He is twisting the scripture to lie about God and therefore lie about mankind
398. 29:32about mankind in order to assert a political position.
399. 29:40I would not wanna be him.
400. 29:44Because if you understand the context
401. 29:45of the book of relations, the first thing you need to know
402. 29:48is that Paul wrote his epistle to the Galatians,
403. 29:51specifically to convey to a Gentile congregation
404. 29:56that they were not required to convert to Judaism
405. 30:00in order to be full-fledged members
406. 30:02of the eternal family of God.
407. 30:06There were some who were tempted,
408. 30:08They were seduced by some Judaizers who attempted to require performance of aspects of the law
409. 30:16in order to obtain justification.
410. 30:21In Paul, the Jewish Rabbi who himself was a Pharisee, penisipistle to the Galatians to say,
411. 30:29no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
412. 30:30My brothers and sisters, you don't need to do that.
413. 30:34Justification has been provided for you.
414. 30:37grace alone through faith alone through the finished work of the cross." And Paul specifically
415. 30:46confronts an argument the same lying representative made later on, and to say that all mankind
416. 30:52is made in God's image. All mankind are image bearers of God, but not all mankind are members
417. 30:58of God's family. See, if the demonically inspired representative would read a few verses above,
418. 31:04You'll find. What do you find? Let's look at verse 26, shall we? For you are all sons of God.
419. 31:13You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into
420. 31:25Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither slave
421. 31:33nor free man. There is neither mayor nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Verse 29,
422. 31:39representative Anciya and if you belong to Christ then you are Abraham's descendants
423. 31:46and heirs according to the promise. You see representative Anciya Paul's words here
424. 31:51inspired by the Spirit of God are meant to convey one while all mankind are made in God's image
425. 31:58not all mankind are members of God's eternal family that you are made members of God's eternal
426. 32:03family through one way the apostle John called him the door the one way you transition from merely
427. 32:11being an image-bear of God to being a member of God's eternal family is verse 26 through
428. 32:17faith in Christ Jesus. You see what the Lord was conveying to the Apostle Paul here represented
429. 32:24manchia that the lack of being Jew or Gentile is made evident in Christ in terms of its efficacy
430. 32:37for being made members of God's eternal family and an inheritor of eternal life.
431. 32:41But this passage does not exist to say that God now has nullified the complementary distinctiveness
432. 32:48between mayowness and femaleness. See, we can put a lot of fancy words on it, but what Representative
433. 32:56Anciu was doing was lying on the Lord, lying. And this is why I'm saying to you, in this audience,
434. 33:09we have to have discernment. Just because somebody says it's from the Bible, don't mean that they're
435. 33:14proclaiming it properly. This man is literally using the scripture to convey the exact opposite
436. 33:22of what the full counsel of God's word teaches. And that's stop there. Y'all already know where I'm
437. 33:27going next. Then the same lying representative and listen, I'm not saying this to insult him
438. 33:32personally. I'm saying this because he's lying about the text. Then he goes to his favorite. Y'all
439. 33:39know he went next. Matthew chapter seven. He went on to try to shout down people who were
440. 33:51are objecting to his twisted application of scripture
441. 33:54and say, well, the text says judge not.
442. 33:58Y'all know what I'm gonna say all the time.
443. 34:01That's not what the full text says.
444. 34:02If you read Matthew seven verses one through five,
445. 34:06you'll find, the scripture doesn't just say judge not.
446. 34:10It goes on to explain,
447. 34:13for in the way that you judge, you will be judged
448. 34:15by the standard you measure, it will be measured to you.
449. 34:18When it says, why do you look at the speck
450. 34:20in your brother's eye when you have a log in your eye,
451. 34:23The scripture never says, ignore the log,
452. 34:26I'm sorry, ignore the speck in your brother's eye.
453. 34:29It says, remove the law from yours first.
454. 34:32See what the scripture is explaining is that we as
455. 34:36recipients of salvation, we do not have the wherewithal
456. 34:38to condemn anybody.
457. 34:41But actually we have an obligation to judge,
458. 34:44but to judge rightly, discernment is necessary
459. 34:49to make sure agents of evil are not able
460. 34:53that manipulate us with the text of Scripture.
461. 35:00Thoughts of the child you were carrying keep pouring over in your mind.
462. 35:04A deep, unrelenting sadness over shadows your days
463. 35:08and you wonder if you will ever feel whole again.
464. 35:11There is hope and healing from a reproductive loss.
465. 35:14Call the International Helpline 866-482-LIFE
466. 35:20and talk with someone who has been where you are.
467. 35:23Call us confidential and we will help you find healing.
468. 35:27866-482-LIFE
469. 35:31Maybe you've read self-help books that say
470. 35:33you need to learn how to forgive yourself.
471. 35:36Well, pop psychology aside,
472. 35:38there is a forgiveness that you need,
473. 35:40and it's one that many people have a hard time accepting.
474. 35:43See how that relates to your assurance of salvation
475. 35:46as we continue John MacArthur's study
476. 35:49called Myths about Salvation.
477. 35:51Be here for the next Grace to You.
478. 36:00John MacArthur's Memorial Service. This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian
479. 36:05Royal View. Internationally known pastor John MacArthur entered heaven in mid-July
480. 36:10at the age of 86. His memorial service was recently held at Grace Community Church in
481. 36:16Los Angeles where he pastored for 56 years. It was not so much a celebration of life
482. 36:22as a worship service to God for the grace and gifts he bestowed on MacArthur's life in ministry.
483. 36:28McArthur often stated that he so admired the Apostle Paul.
484. 36:33They shared the same mission, for to me, to live as Christ, and to die as gain.
485. 36:39Here are most recent programs with guest Matt McArthur,
486. 36:42eldest son of John McArthur, and find a link to watch the memorial service at

512. 38:40Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
513. 38:45Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, the third here.
514. 38:50the weekend, there was an interesting post on true social from President Trump. And I am
515. 38:56covering this because it follows the reporting we shared here of the CDC officially conducting
516. 39:06its study on vaccine related injury, including the schmovitz shots, injuries related, injuries
517. 39:14people endured and as a result of the Schmovitz shot, which when I first shared that with you,
518. 39:22I said, this is this indicative of a change in posture from the Trump administration, because
519. 39:29one of the things that I thought was a vulnerability to him in the Republican presidential primary
520. 39:34was his touting of, you know, operational warp speed, you know, and talking about, oh, it's so
521. 39:40wonderful. They made these shots and I'm saying, I'm not so sure that you should be standing
522. 39:46tintos down on that one, my boy. I mean, it it things surrounding, schmovit, you know, you
523. 39:53practically handed the end of your first term to the scarf lady and the wheel of leprechaun,
524. 40:01you know. And so President Trump posted this, which I thought, could this be another indication?
525. 40:10If you wouldn't Marty, would you put up on the screen,
526. 40:13the screenshot of this truth?
527. 40:17It's up there, all right.
528. 40:20So he posted this over the weekend
529. 40:21and this is where President Trump said, quote,
530. 40:23it is very important that the drug companies
531. 40:26justify the success of their various COVID drugs.
532. 40:31Many people think they are a miracle
533. 40:33that saved millions of lives.
534. 40:35Others disagree.
535. 40:38With CDC being ripped apart over this question,
536. 40:42I want the answer and I want it now.
537. 40:45I have been shown information from Pfizer and others
538. 40:49that is extraordinary, but they never seem to show
539. 40:52those results to the public.
540. 40:56Why not?
541. 40:57Three question marks after that.
542. 41:00They go off to the next hunt and let everyone
543. 41:02rip themselves apart, including Bobby Kennedy Jr. and CDC,
544. 41:07trying to figure out the success or failure
545. 41:09of the drug company's COVID work.
546. 41:12They show me great numbers and results,
547. 41:15but they don't seem to be showing them to many others.
548. 41:18I want them to show them now to CDC and the public
549. 41:23and clear up this mess one way or the other.
550. 41:26I hope Operation Warp Speed was as brilliant as many say it was.
551. 41:30Now of course he was one and one saying it was brilliant.
552. 41:34Back to the post.
553. 41:35If not, we all want to know about it and why.
554. 41:38Thank you for your attention to this very important matter,
555. 41:40President DJT.
556. 41:42All right. I added a little commentary in there. I shouldn't have. Sorry about that,
557. 41:47Joel. This is quite interesting to me. President Trump is publicly calling out these big pharmaceutical
558. 41:57companies. Pfizer by name saying you guys showed me all this stuff in private. You got me out here
559. 42:07talking about how brilliant it is. But you all don't have a show any of this stuff is dripping my
560. 42:16CDC apart. So as I mentioned, you have, you know, Robert Kennedy, Jr.
561. 42:22said, Oh, we're going to study the effects of these vaccine related
562. 42:28injuries, including COVID shots. We are taking these COVID shots off of
563. 42:36the childhood vaccination schedule. You have people protesting,
564. 42:40walking out. And this, this is, you know, this is not the whole
565. 42:45deal. But I certainly believe this is telling. I learned from my
566. 42:49grandmother, hit dogs, holler. I mentioned to you, I shared last week, you know, the
567. 42:57woman who was a physician, whose daughter after a Gardasil shot that had to do with HPV,
568. 43:04woke up, well, didn't wake up died in their college dormitory room, two physicians talked
569. 43:09about their specific COVID shot related injuries. And there's scores of other people, many people
570. 43:16that had people in our audience right here, they were online posting, man, my, this happened
571. 43:19my brother. This happened in my aunt. This happened to my cousin. This happened to my son. This happened
572. 43:23my own family. I have family members perfectly healthy beforehand have all kind of issues now.
573. 43:31Almost on cue yesterday, Labor Day. The New York Times published and you guys tell me
574. 43:39what this sounds like to you. They published a piece titled We Ran the CDC. Kennedy is endangering
575. 43:46every American's health. That's the headline of the New York Times article. This was an opinion
576. 43:52piece authored by the previous nine heads of the CDC, not dating back to 1977.
577. 43:59It's not like anything to anybody so far.
578. 44:04They began their piece saying, we the authors previously led the Centers for Disease Control
579. 44:10and Prevention as directors or acting directors under Republican and Democratic administration.
580. 44:15So it sounds so professional, doesn't it?
581. 44:18Back to the piece, quote, we have each had the honor and privilege of serving as director
582. 44:23of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, either in a permanent or an acting capacity
583. 44:27dating back to 1977.
584. 44:30Collectively, we spent more than 100 years working at the CDC, the world's preeminent public
585. 44:35health agency.
586. 44:37We served under multiple Republican and Democratic administrations, every president from Jimmy Carter
587. 44:41to Donald Trump.
588. 44:44Alongside thousands of dedicated staff members who shared our commitment to saving lives
589. 44:48and improving health.
590. 44:51What the Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has done to the CDC and
591. 44:55to our nation's public health system over the past several months, culminating in his
592. 44:59decision to fire Susan Minarez as CDC Director Days ago is unlike anything we had ever seen
593. 45:07at the agency and unlike anything, our country had ever experienced."
594. 45:12Of course, it goes on and on and on to which many people are listening me right now saying,
595. 45:17Yeah, that's what we voted for.
596. 45:18Four CDC to be conducted differently
597. 45:21than it had been conducted in the past time periods.
598. 45:26Now, I wonder what this sounds like to me.
599. 45:29Remember that was a little letter that came out
600. 45:31that had 51 intelligence officials
601. 45:34who had signed off on the letter?
602. 45:37And what would they attempt to do?
603. 45:38Oh, yeah, that's right.
604. 45:39They were telling us that,
605. 45:42oh, this whole deal about a laptop,
606. 45:45it has all the markings of Russian disinformation.
607. 45:49Did these nine previous acting and permanent directors
608. 45:52of the CDC just admit out loud
609. 45:55that they've been on the dole from Big Farmer since 1977?
610. 45:59Heh heh heh heh heh heh.
611. 46:03Because that's what it immediately made me think about.
612. 46:05It immediately made me think about.
613. 46:07Hit dogs holler and they seek to provide
614. 46:10some professional appearance of objection.
615. 46:14For what purpose to dissuade the masses?
616. 46:17I simply would like to ask these nine previous CDC directors
617. 46:22And listen, I'm grateful for the polio vaccine and things like that.
618. 46:28But the question I wanna ask is,
619. 46:30so since 1977 has Americans, by and large,
620. 46:34have we become more healthy or less healthy?
621. 46:38If you are at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
622. 46:43have disease has been controlled and prevented?
623. 46:49This is the same CDC that you guys willingly
624. 46:51alter the definition of a vaccine, because of chemoven.
625. 46:57because you realize, oh, this vaccine is not like other vaccines we've had.
626. 47:03These are the same people that told us that, hey, you take the schmove shot, you won't contract
627. 47:08the virus nor will you spread the virus.
628. 47:12And many of these companies that President Trump is saying, hey, y'all showed me all
629. 47:15of this wonderful information privately.
630. 47:18But why don't you have to show that stuff publicly?
631. 47:20Why y'all don't show the public what y'all show me?
632. 47:22Now, I just have this thing and y'all know if you've been listening to the show and watching
633. 47:27the show for a while, I just have this thing where I tend to remember stuff, you know.
634. 47:31like Scarf later remember her Deborah Birx who said, you know, we, we, we, we, I just had to tell Trump whatever I needed to get him to start to do what we wanted to do.
635. 47:43There was no rhyme or reason. There was no, there was no scientific bases.
636. 47:48But what wasn't originally originally 15 days to slow the spread.
637. 47:52We just had to start with something that we knew Trump would go with. And then once we got him going with it, then we would, we would ramp it up.
638. 47:59Remember that and she put that in the book didn't she put in a book?
639. 48:04She basically look I'm gonna translate this for y'all translate this for the hood for y'all
640. 48:08She basically said yeah, yeah, we played old boy
641. 48:10We played him we played him
642. 48:11But you know we had a plan to attune that he initially started dancing to and once we got a snapping
643. 48:18Snapping fingers do you stare?
644. 48:21You can do it all by yourself. Let me see you do it once we got him snapping then we could change the beat
645. 48:27This is what she said.
646. 48:29And now President Trump is saying,
647. 48:31they're firing the same thing to me.
648. 48:33Fives are telling me all of this stuff in private.
649. 48:38They will never say any of this stuff in public.
650. 48:41Are they trying to pay me again?
651. 48:43And finally, President Trump,
652. 48:45you're asking the right questions.
653. 48:47I would have those questions.
654. 48:48You have all this data that you show me,
655. 48:53but you're gonna show none of this publicly.
656. 48:54When you have people like Bobby Kennedy firing folks,
657. 48:58you have, you know, Dr. Martin McCarry
658. 49:00being made a member of the president administration and health and human service.
659. 49:07A doctor who said, nah, y'all saying this is the vaccine, this is MRNA technology.
660. 49:20Got Jay by the chariot similarly situated.
661. 49:28I am not at this juncture ready to say president Trump is fully on board because it seems based
662. 49:33on this post that he still like he said, I hope operation Warp Speed was as brilliant
663. 49:39as many say it was.
664. 49:40Come on, bruh.
665. 49:41one. You were one of the main ones saying it was brilliant. He wants it to be great. But
666. 49:49now he's at the place where it seems they've been telling me that it was cool and private,
667. 49:55but they won't say anything about it publicly. Why won't they? He's asking the right questions.
668. 50:05And I am again reporting this for you so you can be aware of it. And you monitor whether
669. 50:13or not they start answering these questions publicly. If you were listening to show you
670. 50:18know where I stand on this, that you can't just change the definition of a vaccine and
671. 50:22expect me to act like I didn't see it. It's absurd, man. And you have these private companies
672. 50:32producing this products and all of a sudden it's free. It's free for everybody is free.
673. 50:35Hey, you haven't got yours yet? Go. Yeah, it's free. I ain't ever seen them do that before.
674. 50:40Now, I know I'm not as chronologically seasoned as some, but I happened around a little bit.
675. 50:46Why are you all doing this for free? And I'm supposed to just act like, yeah, it's perfectly
676. 50:53normal for a healthy 40 year old, drop date of a heart attack. Oh, yeah, perfectly healthy.
677. 50:5819 year old athlete dropped it. The position I shared the clip of had spinal problems,
678. 51:09inflammation around his spine that prevents him from continuing his medicine practice,
679. 51:15his medical practice, perfectly healthy before then. Got one more for you before we get out
680. 51:22of here. So we've been talking about how the de-banking phenomenon is politically motivated.
681. 51:29Now you have bankers willing to come out and say the quiet part out loud about how the
682. 51:35Obama and Biden administration pressured banks to quote unquote, de-bank conservatives.
683. 51:43Listen to and watch clip number three, clip three, go.
684. 51:47So to executives that leading US banks are now speaking out both anonymously saying under
685. 51:52previous administrations, they were under pressure to deny services to certain people and certain
686. 51:57businesses specifically because of politics.
687. 52:01One of those executives telling Fox News Digital, those pressures were very real.
688. 52:05When your regulator gives you a suggestion, it's not a suggestion.
689. 52:09It's an order.
690. 52:10The political stuff is very real.
691. 52:11Those pressures are real.
692. 52:13De-banking is when a bank closes an account or refuses business because of certain risks,
693. 52:17usually financial, legal, regulatory, or reputational.
694. 52:21President Trump's executive order outlaws de-banking.
695. 52:24But these executives say previously, federal laws were exploited to pursue political objectives.
696. 52:30When there's ambiguity in the law, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
697. 52:34And for a long time, the beholder was the Obama and Biden administration.
698. 52:38So you get a suggestion from your regulator.
699. 52:43Is that really even a suggestion?
700. 52:47I'm presenting this man because it highlights once again God has given us a reprieve.
701. 52:56But a reprieve is a brief moment of respite.
702. 52:58It's not an enduring reversal of fortune.
703. 53:04It's not a enduring reversal of fortune.
704. 53:08So what are we going to do with the reprieve that God has given us?
705. 53:10You have these bankers.
706. 53:11I'm not one.
707. 53:12I don't feel the whole anonymous thing.
708. 53:14You know, if you're going to say it, come on, say it.
709. 53:16But I understand there's a great risk with that.
710. 53:18And these people, these bankers in particular, are still bankers.
711. 53:21And they have to work with future administrations.
712. 53:26But the American people need to be made aware of these things.
713. 53:31And I'm glad it's coming to light now.
714. 53:35While I'm grateful for that, I'm further provoked to be vigilant and diligent now.
715. 53:42And I'm thankful that God is pulling, should I say exposing some of this stuff to the light
716. 53:50so that we can hold this whole people accountable for this.
717. 53:53And that is my next question.
718. 53:55Who was going to be held accountable for the debunking phenomenon?
719. 53:59Because if nobody is held accountable, guess what?
720. 54:01You can count down until this try again.
