In this, my first video on my Substack, I share about Charlie Kirk’s influence and ministry as well as the shocking murder we all witnessed. The magnitude of the outpouring of prayers and comfort for Erika and their children has been incredible. Thousands of prayer vigils have been held all across America and other nations of the world. And, not a single riot or looting or any other form of violence we witnessed in response to the death of George Floyd.
And yet, with the days-old Charlie Kirk’s assassination still leading every news story, some pastors refused to mention anything about the evil deed that has shaken the Western world and the Christian Church for the last four days. How heartless to not even offer a prayer for his widow and now fatherless children! What kind of fear, or intimidation, or complacency has caused this?
I have heard from some podcasters and online individuals who claim to have attended church, only to report that the pastor didn't encourage them to pray for Erika and her children. They then posted, “Time for me to find a new Church.” Maybe that is true, or maybe it means you should do as Charlie did - have a conversation with your Church leadership who made that decision, and find out who is to blame. Who knows, you may be the one to open their understanding and reverse course for the better?
And if you are a pastor, I pray that you walk in boldness and confidence as a shepherd without fear of those who reject it when you apply the Truth of God’s Word to the issues facing people every single day. You serve an audience of ONE - please Him, and your work is done.
And everybody said: “Amen!”
