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 forgive him because that’s what Christ did and that’s what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate, the answer we know from the gospel is love… love for our enemies. And love for those who persecute us. - Erika Kirk
If you watch anything from today's Charlie Kirk memorial service, let it be these words from @MrsErikaKirk.
This is the Gospel in real life. Just... wow.
"I forgive him."
Erika Kirk says she forgives the man suspected of killing her husband: "I forgive him because it was what Christ did. And is what Charlie would do."
Erika Kirk forgives her husband’s assassin:
"Our savior said, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. That man, that young man, I forgive him."
So incredibly powerful.
Pray for Erika 🙏🏻
The strength it takes to stand on stage and say that you forgive a person who brought so much hurt to you.
Absolutely incredible, Erika.
What a stunning example of the Christian faith.
No one is requiring you to mourn Charlie Kirk.
They’re asking you not to be a satanic piece of shit who celebrates brutal murder.
The bar couldn’t be lower, and it’s still too high for millions of you. Sick.
🚨 BREAKING: Erika Kirk just announced the Turning Point campus tour WILL GO ON this fall
Charlie's podcast will go on, and AMERICAFEST will happen in December.
They're going ALL IN to make Turning Point bigger and better than ever before! 🔥
