In honor of the tragic passing of Chandler Hendry (@restoredtruth8), we would like to share the inspiring words he contributed to our Vigil for Charlie Kirk last September. His words apply to himself as much as they do to Charlie. https://t.co/2tqVUI2K7G
I wasn’t going to comment anything relating to Charlie (Chuck) Hendry’s death, but somebody brought it up to me at church and I felt too callous not to say anything at all.
I had no connections with Chuck other than that I met him at Charlie Kirk’s Memorial last year, I sorta forced him into X platform when I posted one of his videos, and unfortunately, him and I had a car accident on the same road, one intersection away from each other.
It’s terrible. Truly awful that this happened.
He was a leader in getting the message of the Restored Gospel out. Many members in the Church watched and still watch his videos to learn how to defend the faith unapologetically.
He was, to us, what Charlie Kirk was to the political right, which is why Chuck’s death has likely motivated, inspired, moved some of us to do more in way of social media to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some now feel they should start a podcast or YouTube channel and that’s awesome.
Incredible that in the short life he lived, he made such an impression on so many to start speaking up and sharing the Gospel message, even in death.
That is a life worth living, however short.
In honor of @RestoredTruth8 - I give you the seminal moment in the First Vision of Joseph Smith. Chuck sadly passed away in a car accident this weekend.
He was a strong defender of the faith and every video he produced started with these words:
“I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head… above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me.
It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!”
We won’t forget you anytime soon Chuck.
“Mormonism” keeps men and women young and handsome; and when they are full of the Spirit of God, there are none of them but what will have a glow upon their countenances; and that is what makes you and me young; for the Spirit of God is with us and within us.
What a great loss for our earthly family, but a immense gain to our heavenly family. Chuck has received a new calling and accepted it. He’s now testifying and teaching of Christ to the spirits that need a strong witness. You will be greatly missed Brother Chuck
This sucks man.
Thanks for being my friend Chuck. It’s impossible to do, but I’ll be damned if we don’t do our best to pick up the slack.
Rest easy buddy @RestoredTruth8
No being can thoroughly learn himself, without understanding more or less of the things of God: neither can any being learn and understand the things of God, without learning himself: he must learn himself, or he never can learn God.
The Bible is mine, and I am not prepared to have you rob me of it, without my consent. The doctrine in it is mine, which I firmly believe. I believe the Father begat the Son, and gave him to be a propitiation for the sins of the world. I believe he died for the redemption of man.
The kings and queens I am looking upon today will belong to that class; they will be the fathers and mothers to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. There are many sheep on the earth that we have not yet found.
As we repent, strive to remember and honor our covenants, and prepare throughout the week to participate in the ordinance of the sacrament, we can be blessed to always retain a remission of our sins through the redeeming and saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The partaking of the bread and the water does not remit sins. It is the Lord Jesus Christ who forgives us of sin as we repent and come unto Him.
