My dear American friends,
We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.
In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.
All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.
You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.
Never stop fighting for it.
I've said nothing about the attempt to murder @realDonaldTrump because this picture says everything better than I can say it. Our government has imprisoned its political opponents and attempted to silence dissent. They've closed our houses of worship and preached fear and obedience. They've denigrated masculinity and femininity and traditional marriage and tried to elevate abnormalities by peddling graphic porn to middle schoolers. They believe killing a baby in the womb is a right, and sexually butchering the bodies of children is health care. They've opened our borders in defiance of the rule of law, weakened our security, betrayed our allies and coddled our enemies. They've demonized half of us for defending the rights and systems our forefathers died for.
I defy them.
This is a picture of my president.
The husband/wife relationship should always be the priority relationship. Children are amazing but your relationship with them should never take precedence over that with your spouse.
Marriage is the gold standard for 🇺🇸 family life.
We know, for instance, kids much more likely to thrive when parents have a good relationship.
Look at these new @Gallup#s.
Married parents report markedly better, less conflicted relationships.👇🏽
@thomasbrushdev As I look back on my life as a father to four sons, this was always an issue. Just have to be intentional. As I always had to tell myself: Wherever you are be all there.
