A Godly Man

Hi Friends:

How is everyone doing, in the aftermath?

I’m still so very sad and shocked about Charlie Kirk’s passing.  Are you as well?

Sad more than shocked?

What a wonderful, Godly man.  What’s not to love about someone with courage to share their faith in God.  Charlie wasn’t seeking power but the Truth he proclaimed made him powerful?  And threatening...to some?

I don’t understand why someone would choose darkness and deceit over truth and light? 

Head-scratcher. 

Thank God we all have free will to choose. 

I love Jesus with all my heart and choose Him.  I love His promise of eternal life through faith.  I love the sacrifice he made on the cross; his forgiveness sin; his sinlessness.  His generosity.

The world is so selfish. Jesus is, was and always will be so generous.

The fact that there is nothing whatsoever that we can do (save for faith in Him) to enter the Kingdom is mind-boggling. He did it all for us. (Friendly reminder: the Kingdom is in you. I add this because I think it's one of the coolest understandings of the bible: seek the Kingdom. The Kingdom is in you...PTL)

Are you thinking:  She’s probably gonna get shot over saying all that?

Anyone who knows the Bible knows that Christians will be severely persecuted in the final days. 

Paul said, “Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12)

“Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.  And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other” (Matthew 24:9-10)

Charlie Kirk wasn’t afraid to share his faith.

Are you?  

Here’s how I see it:

-Clam-up and go along to get along in a world full of inherent sinners destined for death. Or, stand up with courage in the Word and reap life-everlasting?

Here’s the thing.  With all due respect, I don’t care what anyone else thinks and believes in. Naturally, I want to share my faith with others. But at the end of the day…I won’t lose sleep over anyone’s choice to choose otherwise. Well, maybe a little sleep if it was a child or grand-child...

So, ya, it’d be nice to believe as I do and not have to contemplate bullets?  And it would have been nice if Charlie Kirk had been left alone to believe, speak and live as he chose.  

If some loon feels compelled because of my faith in the Bible to shoot me, there's little I or anyone else can do.  But, I know where I’m headed and I’m confident knowing where shooters are off to, too.

Freewill.  Choose wisely! 

RIP beautiful, amazing man: Charlie Kirk.

Thank you for reading and God Bless you!

Love, Shelley
