Dear Church Family,
Most of you have heard already about the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk. Some of you may have never heard of him until now but I’m sure you are more familiar now than ever. He was a Trump supporter and a very strong conservative. He started Turning Point at a very early age, which is his organization that has thousands of chapters all over the country. This organization has had tons of requests for new chapters since his killing. Charlie would go around the country to different universities and give everyone on the campus an opportunity to debate him on social, political, and even religious topics. His goal was to educate the young people and show how people can disagree but still get along. Yes, he promoted Donald Trump and some of you may not like that, but his main focus was on promoting Jesus Christ. He was a very strong Christian and would make no apologies about it. Most of the time he was very respectful in debating the students and the professors. He always found a way to share Jesus with them and had led many to Him in the process. There were some who accused him of being a racist and a bigot, but I don’t believe he was. You may not agree with his politics and that’s okay, but you have to respect his Christian stance and his boldness in some of the most liberal and anti-Christian universities in our country. I believe God used him to spread the gospel in places that many of us would never have the opportunity to go or would be willing to go to. Don’t make my newsletter political because that is not my intent. My intent is to recognize an individual who was so bold and obedient to Christ that he was willing to die for Him. How many of us would be willing to do that? Probably not too many. I pray that this senseless killing will continue to bring more people to Christ and challenge us to be bolder in our walk with Christ as well. Please be in prayer for his family and his ministry as they continue to push forward with the Lord’s work.
God Bless, Pastor Jason.
