We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living. Earlier today, after suffering an emergency medical incident, he entered into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served since he was converted as a college student. Please pray for Bridget, their children, and grandchildren.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. – Psalm 116:15

"I'm going to return to my Christian faith now"
"Fantastic!"
"It's going to be all about Jesus, like Charlie."
"Wonderful. God bless you."
"I'm going to be a lot more vocal and out-front."
"I love it."
"To be more manly, I'm going to cuss a lot more."
"..."
"I said..."
"Yeah. Don't do that. That's the opposite of everything else you said. And btw, Charlie didn't do that, and he was as out-front Christian as it gets."
Noteworthy: Charlie Kirk’s memorial service started with a recording of congregational singing form John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church, Sun Valley CA
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
— 1 John 3:2-3 ESV
Charlie Kirk exposes the problems with "American Christianity" & tells us what the real role of church should be:
"Church is not a place where you go to be affirmed. Church is a place where you go to be corrected; to learn what sin & the law of God is, & why you need the cross."
The fact that so many people feel comfortable loudly and publicly celebrating the assassination of a Christian conservative is very instructive.
They clearly do not expect negative consequences for their actions.
This tells us that they spend their entire time in an echo chamber, where they have never been personally exposed to interaction and pushback. So they assume everyone thinks like they do.
This is exactly why Charlie was such a threat. He did not simply talk about people or over their heads, he actually engaged them in conversation, which led to many changed minds.
The most fearful threat to the Leftist cult wasn’t some chest-beating nietzschean or wignat punk influencer. It wasn’t Andrew Tate or Nick Fuentes.
It was a kind, gracious, courageous, Christian, conservative, patriotic, normie American family man who liked dialogue and debate.
The left doesn’t fear most of the blustering dorks you see online. They fear normal, godly American men.
Be what the Left fears.
From President Trump: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”
I don't normally comment on the news of the day, but the shooting of Charlie Kirk is so wicked and so grievous. It's sad to see my own kids affected. Like many Gen Zers, they love his videos. I'm grateful for the many times he clearly and cheerfully made much of Jesus Christ. If you want to honor his legacy, pick up a Bible, read about Jesus, and see what Kirk believed in. May God bless his family. May God bless America.
"One of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself. That is why an uneducated believer like Bunyan was able to write a book that has astonished the whole world."
— C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity #CSLI
There is no substitute for the child of God beginning his (or her) day in the Word of God, meditating on the Word of God because this is where faith comes from. Faith comes from the Word of God.
If we would know Christ, we must seek him in the Scriptures.
Anyone who imagines Christ as he will, gets nothing but a mere blur. So, we must first hold that Christ is known rightly nowhere but in Scripture. If this be so, our chief purpose in reading the Scriptures must be to arrive at a right knowledge of Christ.
~ John Calvin
I understand how you reached this conclusion, but it is incorrect. Christians (with backbones) should be in charge of America. In the name of tolerance, we surrendered the country and the culture to satanists. It's easy to conclude it's a skin condition. The devil wants you to reach that conclusion. Blaming a color lets the real culprit hide in plain sight. It's a sin condition. Secular culture does not work. Never has. Never will. You search the source of the money that glorifies, seduces and finances the Millionaire Minstrels and you'll find the occult, people in total rebellion to Jesus Christ. That's not written to excuse the Millionaire Minstrels. But as you grow older, wiser and bolder, any search for truth will take you well beyond skin color. There's a reason "racism" is not discussed in the Bible. It's irrelevant. Final thought: What color are the doctors conducting child sacrifice inside abortion factories across America? What color are the doctors castrating little boys in the name of transgenderism? This Millionaire Minstrel rapper -- Gorilla -- is a member of the same child-sacrifice cult as the doctors. Gorilla tunes the heart and mind to normalize the nihilism that has overtaken American culture.
It's sin, not skin. Christians must stand firm, declare our King, serve Him, and deal with the persecution. Everything else is just noise.
