It is not common when both the sitting President of the United States and the Vice President attend the same funeral together, when it is not a nationally recognized dignitary.
Both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance will be honoring Charlie Kirk at the funeral service. It is a fitting and considerate reflection of great honor, worthy of Kirk’s impact.
My dear friends, there is so much background stuff happening we are all watching in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination, it is difficult to find the words for any outline of value.
I cannot imagine how challenging life is for Charlie Kirk’s family right now, and out of the greatest respect I feel the best thing to do is just do nothing except honor his faith, work and legacy. I have made the decision not to cover any of the controversial aspects, direct or ancillary, beyond what I have already shared.
Do I have opinions, yes. And when my brain is full of things I want to say – my prayers and life lessons have guided me to understand that is exactly when it is best to say nothing.
My inner voice tells me to remain silent on any of the ancillary subjects until Charlie Kirk is laid to rest with great honor and tribute. Then, when it is appropriate, to provide my personal thoughts on facets that may be valuable in context.
Feel free to share any subject matter in/around the storyline of this tragedy on any open thread where we can gather in fellowship. I know a lot of people are hurting.
Channel that hurt into meaningful prayer for them.
The left has cancel culture, the right has consequence culture.
I saw that mentioned today.
Consequence Culture.
I like it.
There needs to be consequences for things.
Let’s remember these labels.
Yes, so far there has not been consequences for so many things. This cannot go on if we want to have a decent, meaningful and safe country. May we the people, after a proper memorial of our dear Charlie, rise up with one voice and DEMAND real accountability for what has happened in our country – all of it.
There is protected speech.
And there is consequential speech.
Yes, let’s hear what everybody has to say, so we can see them for who they really are and refute all their lies. *Everybody* has the right to freely express an opinion, including those of us who, like Charlie Kirk, actually know what we are talking about.
The best way we can memorialize and celebrate the life of Charlie Kirk is to freely express our views and beliefs in an open forum.
“Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
Consequences haven’t been in vogue since LBJs Great Society. It’s about time they’re revisited.
I would say BEFORE LBJ’s piss-poor, “Great Society”.
Your always incisive, cogent, comments have been of interest to me. They remind me of, when learning the game of U. S. Naval Aviation, one of my instructors. He insisted, that during radio transmissions, not to be “talkative” but to exercise brevity and conciseness. You do that with an attractive flair. Keep it up.
May the Lord, Jesus Christ, bless, protect, and shine His Light on all in attendance at Charlie Kirk’s funeral/memorial service.
In the loving and wonderful name of the Lord Jesus the Christ. Amen.
Amen.
And Lord, please not only comfort those in attendance, but keep all of them safe.
In Jesus Name, amen.
I am a worry wart, true, but recent events have shown just how evil are so many in this nation.
My first thought as well, Val.
Amen.
I will second Val’s notion.
Father God, Lord Jesus Christ, please send your mighty holy angels especially Michael your great archangel to guard, protect and minister to Mrs. Kirk and her family, and all in attendance at her husband Charlie’s funeral. Lord Jesus, please give us faith to pray at all times in this season for protection and wisdom for all who are planning these events. May no weapon formed against them prosper. Isaiah 54:17
Thank you, my wife and I will be in attendance.
May God comfort Erika, guide and protect her, her family, all TPUSA people, all of us, and in particular, President Trump & Melania, JD Vance and his wife, and all others from the administration who are grieving.
Perfectly stated, Sundance! I am hearing a wide variety of ideas regarding what happened one week ago but am trying to keep my heart and mind in the right place, which is to honor God with my words and thoughts, and to live my life with the same courage and kindness as Charlie Kirk!
And yes, I, too, have a lot of questions as many things don’t make sense to me right now…but, above and beyond all that, a young husband, father, son, and brother lies dead and his family should be first and foremost in our thoughts and our prayers!
For anyone who didn’t know Charlie or his work well, this 12 minute video put together by his close friend Dr. Frank Turek is an excellent encapsulation of his life and his legacy.
Thank you for posting this. More of Charlie Kirk’s great, God-given wisdom.
To be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord.
Thank You Lord for that mercy.
As soon as I saw that awful video, I knew that he was gone – Dr. Turek is correct is stating that they had to try, but I do not believe there was any human intervention that could have reversed the damage done…
I think it is possible that his purpose was finished…..although that is hard to fathom with 2 kids left behind.
God alone knows the number of our days and His ways are higher than ours…I know those verses and take comfort in them BUT it still grieves my heart to think about his wife and wife and how their lives will never, ever be the same!
Should be wife and children…sorry, didn’t check it closely before I hit Post Comment!
Charlie Kirk’s purpose has just begun.
Charlie 2.0
More influential than ever, still doing the Lord’s work in death.
When I was just 9 or 10 a video emerged from the Vietnam War footage that was quite graphic.
For many a year it was just presented as a still. A young man with a pistol jammed against the side of his head by a slightly older man who was obviously on “the other side”.
It wasn’t until years later that, I think it was lefty Ken Burns who played the video. Of course when you have a weapon against your head your body is insane.
I watched, and I never want to again. But just a few short years after I first saw the still photo, I was watching TV with my disabled grandpa when he had a heart attack.
I know many will say we’ll you should watch but…I know evil exists in this world. I thank God I just missed being sent off to Southeast Asia.
I don’t want my grandkids to grow up in this climate of hate.
I would not recommend that anyone search out the video, if they have not already seen it…my family consists of first responders so I tend to be able to handle more than many, simply because of that fact.
But, it was brutal, and jarring, and evil and my heart just hurts…
If you are referring to the very famous, Pulitzer prize-awarded “Saigon execution” photo that was shown in every news outlet around the world, appears in textbooks and was used to denounce the Vietnam war by zillions of anti-war protestors….
You are probably not aware of the full context of what that photo depicts.
That full context is always excluded to make the young man more sympathetic and paint the police-chief as the villain.
On the morning of the “Saigon Execution” photo, [General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan] was leading a police detachment in Saigon looking for at-risk civilians and the Viet Cong who might be a threat to them.
The man being shot in the “Saigon Execution” photo was Nguyễn Văn Lém, also known as Captain Bay Lop, and he was exactly the kind of enemy fighter that Loan’s men were looking for.
According to Lém’s widow, he had disappeared just prior to the Tet Offensive, and according to the soldiers who captured him in Saigon, he was caught practically red-handed leading a Viet Cong hit team tasked with killing National Police members or, if they couldn’t find any, their families instead.
On the morning of the “Saigon Execution” photo, Nguyễn Văn Lém’s death squad had just killed 34 people – seven police officers, two or three Americans, and several police officers’ family members, all bound at the wrists and shot in the head over a pit – and they may have been looking for Loan himself.
As a war criminal and terrorist, Lém had effectively no protection under the Geneva Conventions and was eligible for summary execution when caught.

I had an English teacher in high school.
She had brought in photos from when her husband helped liberate a German internment camp.
Had photos of conditions they found and were unhappy about, the one I remember was much the same, 45 to temple of “guard” that was moments from action.
I’m sure photos were heavily censored for content for high school age consumption.
Thank you for that info Gulag; I had heard that earlier in my 69 years.
The bullet hit the top, beveled edge of Charlie’s front plate body armor. It fragmented and/or richochett’ed into his neck, where it traveled to his brain. That’s why the back of the stage wasn’t showered in blood. Because the fragment and/or bullet stopped in his brain.
Jesus met Charlie at the exact moment Charlie’s body died. He said “I will never leave or forsake you”. Do you think He will leave you at your moment of death!? Did he NOT say he will “NEVER LEAVE” you!? If, as the word teaches, “God can not lie”, then God will not leave you at the moment of your death, but will be there to embrace you.
“Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints” (Ps 116:15)
Such an amazing person. Thank you, dearest Lord, for this gift that we hope to carry with us for a very long time.
Thank you, Vikingmom for sharing this with us.
ThankYou VM. I just arrived my branch in the refuge and posted the same.
Charlie’s little girl, scooping sand into her Daddy’s hands, is one of the most heart wrenching things I have ever seen.
So much sacrifice, by those who are so innocent. I pray for even a modicum of the grace that Charlie radiated, so that I might better understand the “Why, dear God?”.
Bless this family.
That hit me, too… And when he took her shopping! 😭😭😭
Honestly, my prayer is that Erika Kirk not become angry or bitter, even though she has every human rights to to do so.
We are told that our Father, God, has more thoughts about each of us than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of all the world.
All who trust in God are NOT alone.
“I will never leave you or forsake you.”
Thank you Father for the hundreds of thousands of youth that are picking up the Mantle that Charlie left. I pray a hedge of protection and the Spirit of Courage over every one. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen
Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go”.
Psalm 34: 17-22
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
The Lord redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.”
“Even if you strike me (him) down, I (he) will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”

Even ‘moderate’ Ds can not just say it is wrong, it’s always followed by a ‘but’. Nevermind the ones who celebrate.
Who’s a “moderate” in the Democrat party? They’re all Jacobin radicals. The only thing that separates Tyler & Luigi from Barack and Nancy is that he has the courage of their convictions.
Often the word “but” negates whatever was said before it. What follows “but” is the the thing they really meant to say.
Exactly. As soon a they say “but”. I’m done. Not that I want to heart anything they say anyway.
Ilhan Omar didn’t get censured for her comments, in fact several GOP members voted to not go through with it.
1. Everything before the “but” is BS.
2. A “Moderate Democrat” is…..a liar.
They are alienating all but the hardcore.
The numbers of R registrations are spiking and many are posting online that they simply be a part of a party that celebrates an assassination.
Have to agree, SD.
I had to take a break from the commotion today. Watching the pageantry in England was perfect – its been a very nice break.
I thought everyone looked flawless at meet and greet.
I have avoided most content since that day.
Pretty already been doing so. I think many feel the same.
Pray without ceasing.
Sunday so Trump will be back from no longer great britain by then.
What a man too bad he didn’t run for president in his 50s.
Oops! In his fifties… bad, bad old eyes trying to read this schmart phone screen read that all wrong.
So I agree never mind the following.
Pappy, having survived war in the Pacific, greatly admired Truman, and we had Ike.
I’d vote the 1990s and latter 2000s could have used DJT…
President Trump ran as an independent in 2002 but dropped out
On several fronts, we appear to be in a critical time in earth’s history–financially, politically, technologically, and governmentally.
Powers are vying for position. Oligarchs are positioning for influence. Big money is scurrying for a winning team to push and hard assets with which to begin the next economy.
Within the millions who authentically mourn Charlie’s murder, the powers and their representatives will be taking advantage of this moment for whatever gained edge might serve them in the near future. For them, Charlie Kirk and his family are temporarily valued pawns on a temporarily valued space.
They will perform, and we probably won’t know for sure whose tears are real and whose are fake. That is reason enough to mourn and respond entirely from our own souls–not looking for others to reflect for the cameras what we individually feel.
We just want to live in peace and freedom, loving our families and friends, and building modest, secure futures for the next generation. What we want may not fit into anyone’s plans for the future.
Living our best lives now includes mourning with those who mourn, weeping with those who weep.
This has already cut deeply, I awaken each day still not believing, the man my son’s age was so vibrant and in tune with our younger generation.
Sure, we have Trump, but I also felt so much more assured that we also had this secret weapon, man and movement, bringing up the next generation of reinforcements.
I heard Glenn Beck this am talk to Senator Lee & discussed how these NGO’s & non-profits fund the violence with our tax payer dollars. Glenn asks “ what can be done?”
To me it is as simple as creating law so they don’t get any taxpayer $?
Lee responded with everything but. Am I missing something?
Yeah, me too — I don’t get it!
It’s simple! The Republicans only cut $9 billion of the $190 billion in $$$ going to Democrat NGOS like LGBTQ, Democracy Now, Illegal immigrant defence and Green energy scams that DOGE uncovered. On top of that we’re still secretly funding $$$ to Ukraine and Israel by the billions.
State Department Severs Ties $$$ With Armed Queers-Affiliated NGO | ZeroHedge
A State Department source confirmed to Blaze News that any ties to Utah Global Diplomacy, “which existed indirectly via an external implementer, are being completely severed and dismantled.” As we reported earlier, Armed Queers SLC founder Ermiya Fanaeian had been recognized by the NGO.
Recall the highlights from X user DataRepublican, also known as Jennica Pounds, who leads DOGE-adjacent efforts, posted a deep dive on Armed Queers SLC:
Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Department–affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the “7 for 17” Award for advancing the UN’s 17 Goals
Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian’s presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain.
Here are more details from Blaze News on the State Department’s breakup with Utah Global Diplomacy:
This could prove greatly consequential for the NGO, as the bulk of its funding takes the form of government grants.
“We are taking aggressive action to ensure that any implementor that has any relationship whatsoever with this radical organization is completely cut off from any State Department engagement,” said the source.
Secretary Marco Rubio revealed this week that the State Department has also been revoking visas of individuals who have celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Late Wednesday, NYPost reports Armed Queers SLC founder is under investigation…

We need to eliminate ALL NGOs! Need to return to genuine CHARITY, not government-sponsored handouts!
The NGOS are a scam for stealing money mostly for Democrats. Republicans are weak and still fund them!
Sen. Lee and his colleagues probably don’t know how to go after those NGOs and non-profits without also going after the ones they favor and benefit from. The taxpayer money they get all too often simply disappears into unaccountable morasses of theft and deceit. Both parties are in on it and nervous about reining in anything they disapprove of because of the risk of pulling funding from things they do approve of and benefit from.
The essential question should be: why should any NGO or non-profit get any taxpayer funding? If there is a legitimate government need for their services, then let them openly solicit bids and go through the contracting process. Otherwise, let the NGOs and non-profits advertise for contributions from the public and/or find rich benefactors and quit draining taxpayer funds altogether.
“creating law so they don’t get any taxpayer $?”
A better idea: make a law that anyone receiving tax payer money or grants must put available for everyone to see on line exactly to whom and how the money was spent.
AND Anyone accepting government money from the NGO for ANY good or service must ALSO agree to account for EVERY SINGLE invoice all the way down to where it appears on someone’s tax return as income.
Publicly make available every widget or service purchased from whom and by whom and show that the money went where it was supposed to go.
Yeah. It’d never get past a filibuster. EVER.
Not until there are 60 republican senators At the Very Least ! You probably have to go back at least 100 years, maybe even the 1800’s the last time there were 60+ republican senators.
And filibusters aren’t even in the Constitution.
I used to think they were some sort of sacred, maybe Jimmy Stewart’s fault, but haven’t for a long time.
Know when I first heard the acronym “NGO” being bandied about?
During the first term of Bush the Lesser.
Please, don’t have Ben Shapiro / AIPAC leading TPUSA.
Angry, not Christian, talks too fast, Israel obsessed. Short term, maybe one of his subs. He’s also short.
I believe a quiet strength CK had was quiet masculinity. He let folks dump on him, then debated them logically. On top of that, he was a loving Christian husband and father. That was a powerful example, and I believe young women really tapped into that.
I don’t think that is going to happen based on this segment of Megyn Kelly’s show from yesterday. This is the title of the video – Cultural Decay Leading to Left Celebrating Violence, and Defining “Hate Speech,” with Fifth Column. The segment start at 51:00.
I wont post the video as I do not want to disregard Sundance’s desire for respect.
Concur. Say no to Ben Shapiro.
In my view, the left has lost the culture war. The youth are turning their hearts back to God. Bible sales are up. Gen Z is radically shifting right. Charlie’s assassination is indicative of that. Obviously the cornered animal cannot be expected to curl up and die. We are on the precipice of a national revival. As thick darkness envelops our nation, Gods glory will rise upon His people.
My dad tried to describe how the country was in so much pain when JFK died, even though he wasn’t known by most personally. I never understood how that was possible until Rush and now Charlie.
Thanks for a place to grieve/post.
The whole school was in mourning for JFK. The loss of Charlie felt the same or worse.
JFK.
RFK.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our country was bludgeoned with one horrific event after another during that terribly trying period.
I pray that those days will not be repeated. Oh Lord, hear our prayers.
AMEN!
amd the brothers, and enemies, who fell in Nam.
With so many dignitaries from the top of Republican leadership in one place, not to mention Charlie’s family, let’s pray that the Lord places a hedge of protection around the entire event.
May the Lord bless Charlie’s homecoming to be one of peace and reflection for us all.
J
That was my first thought also. It’s a damn shame that we should even have to worry about something like that.
Let us hope the Secret Service, FBI, etc, provide security tighter than a frog’s butt. Lots of high rank individuals in one place.
Makes me shudder after the screw ups in PA and UT. I’d lock out anyone not invited and have drones galore as well as initial and ongoing sweeps of every possible angle, every vehicle, every package, every thing within a mile.
Looks to me like the world is uniting around God/Jesus instead of plagues, wars, CBD’s and aliens.
A path laid by God himself and his Holy Spirit.
Still crying at the drop of a hat. I have difficulty concentrating. It still seems unreal and horrific. God bless all as they honor this great and good man. Thank you, Sundance, for always doing the right thing.
Listening to some favorite hymns might help.
I like “Be Still My Soul” quite a lot.
Concur
Bless you, Sepp.
Amen
Amen
Always on target. Bless you.
I’m trying to apply the “remain quiet, for now” principle at certain times in my own life.
It’s very hard but when I have it has always turned out to be the best decision.
Thanks for that.
Sundance, thank you! Good advice. Many prayers.
Trump would be safer with a privately owned security detail than the SS.
Why is it so important to besmirch a guy who was murdered in front of his family both biological and philosophical?
What do they think will happen by doing this? It will only make the resolve more sternto fight this head on…. Sad..
Well, what was Satan thinking when he openly defied the Creator of the Universe?
At its heart, evil is not logical.
It’s just evil.
Hatred and destruction for its own sake.
Sundance, just when I think I am over thinking things and am about to just snap from my own opinions, you come along and brighten my day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Brain washed Liberals believe that the killer, Tyler Robinson was a Republican. Already that’s the crap being spread. Only Liberals boink Tranny’s.
Liberals know he’s a hard core leftist but they don’t want the masses to think he is that’s why they’re trying to sell that he was a MAGA person .
It’s a deliberate lie and distraction.
It is mete and right so to do for such a man that the President and Vice President of a nation which is bitterly divided should attend to unite with Charlie’s beloved family and us in grief and comforting.
His memory and legacy will be everlasting, his work,which had only started, continuing as we all say our farewells.
🎯
You’re absolutely right, Sundance. God bless Erika & their children. Rest In Peace Charlie. Amen. 🙏💔✝️😔
🙏💕🕊️
Amen.
Please Do Not turn this into the MAGA version of the Paul Wellstone funeral.
Wellstone wasn’t assassinated…..
There will be close to zero Democommunist Party members attending.
There are events that happen where you know immediately that they are going to cause a shift.
For me and my various circles of friends and relatives. The raiding of President Trump’s home in Florida was one. A very stark line that seemed unimaginable. I remember discussing this with my left leaning group and hearing them just spout that Trump was guilty and blah blah… they were deep into the coolaid and I think that event contributed to him winning.
The murder of Charlie was an immediate reaction of wtf. I knew it would have societal impact waves. What I didn’t expect was all the glee from the left celebrating a man’s murder.
This rant on twitter captures the place we are in and the hole the left has dug do themselves.
https://x.com/RobertMSterling/status/1966974489553461366
I knew immediately, and that is the source of the immense grief – something profound in the entire society.
Proclaim MLK day is now CJK day….
Watch the left go batshit crazy…
NO MERCY!
I know security will be over the top, but it does make me nervous having everyone we still need in this fight at the same place. May God wrap his loving protective arms around everyone there and keep them safe.
Why I am not shocked at what happened:
“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
There is a lot more at stake than money and power. This was not primarily political, and neither is the negativity in so many comments by haters. Charlie is blessed, the world is under a curse.
God bless you Sundance, you are my guide in this…
It’s hurts real bad. 💔
✝️Let there be peace on earth
🎶
That’s a lot of leadership in one place at one time.
I have chosen to focus on the wisdom Charlie Kirk espoused, on the beautiful tributes; all of that is good and positive, albeit sad and painful grief.
I was 14 when JFK was assassinated and impacted. I still have the Life and Look magazines covering the story.
I remember when RFK & MLK assassinations, being in college, watching the one dorm tv coverage, and thinking: When will this stop?
Charlie Kirk’s assassination has shocked and numbed me more than those. Not just because I know the political arena due to CTH, but because, like Charlie, I walk a close walk with the LORD and for decades have done intensive Bible study. It’s a dual blow for me, and the impact is very deep, not just emotionally, intellectually, psychologically, but spiritually.
I can’t shake this, but everything I watch is something that will be a tribute to him, or hearing more wisdom he is imparting to young people he loved and was mentoring. He was telling them the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and he verbalized how to apply it to their everyday life.
Charlie Kirk was an apostle, and that’s not an exaggeration. Just as Christ’s disciples went forth in the world after Christ died a violent death, spreading the gospel, so too will Charlie Kirk’s violent death bring forth his army to spread the gospel in the public area of politics and elsewhere.
Simultaneously, Charlie Kirk was a civil rights activist; a political activist.
The only thing that is giving me solace is knowing God is sovereign and He chose Charlie Kirk’s numbered days. He uses evil for His good purpose (Gen. 50:20), and He will raise up Charlie’s army to march forward to save this country and impact others in foreign countries the same.
My hope is in Christ, as was Charlie Kirk’s, and God deemed his work in His kingdom was finished.
Well done, good and faithful servant.
It still hurts, though.
Devastatingly, but beautifully stated.
Beautifully stated.
This one hits hard because it affects me on so many different emotional levels. Charlie Kirk has been in my YouTube feed for so many years I feel like I know the guy. It feels very personal. And then seeing him shot like that, close up, in high definition is an image I can’t get out of my head. Then there’s the inevitability of all this. And deep sense of injustice I feel at the way the Left has been blood libeling ordinary, normal people for decades now without any repercussion. I keep seeing these statistics that the political right commits acts of violence and murder at a rate 4X that of the Left. I don’t know the sources and methodologies they’re using, but that cannot be right. Confusion, anger, sadness, mourning, wrath, resignation, fear. All over the place.
It’s amazing how you, I, and millions who only saw him on YouTube, felt like we knew him personally. It was amazing. The stats you have read are wrong. If you listen to the end of VP Vance hosting The Charlie Kirk podcast this past Monday (Sundance posted it here), go to the last approx. 12 minutes or so, and JD addresses the statistics. The left has a much higher percentage of violence. I heard Barry Cunningham quote similar stats. You might watch the whole 2 hrs. It was really good to hear people from the administration be interviewed by JD regarding their relationship with Charlie. I’m looking forward to Sunday’s tribute. It will be sad, but uplifting as they will be celebrating his life.
Yes. He said “Go forth and make disciples.”
Remember, a seed must die, be planted in the ground, to bear abundant fruit, multiplying ten fold, a hundred fold.
Charlie bore great fruit in life, but will bear even more abundantly in death, even to every corner of the world.
Saw a photo of Charlie once.
He was wearing a tee-shirt.
On the front of the shirt was a Biblical quote from the very young Samuel, when he heard the voice of the Lord calling him.
Charlie’s shirt said “Here I am”
God called Charlie in life, and Charlie said “Here I am” and Charlie bore great fruit.
The Lord called Charlie again, and Charlie said “Here I am” and he is bearing fruit even more abundantly.
OH DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?
Not today, Satan.
The Lord works EVERYTHING for His purpose, and for the good of those who are called to Him.
Oh, Val, this is so beautiful. Thank you for relaying this parable. Perfectly describes Charlie’s godly mission. This reminder gives me comfort. You always bring encouragement to me. Thank you. We’ll be celebrating Charlie Kirk’s life together Sunday.
Bless you, Dear Friend.
Keep looking up!
I’ll meet you in that Promised Land someday, with a grin and a hug!🤗
Amen!
I read that the deep grief we feel is that we know he was one of God’s Anointed.
Yes.
Sundance, Thank you for your loving words and wise counsel.
Blessings to you my friend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think you’ve made the right decision. It’s all just too much
This is a very great honor as even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s funeral was not attended by both the President and Vice-President. In fact the President LBJ didn’t even go but sent his VP whats his name instead.
Hubert Humphrey.
I went back to church for the first time in 20 years. My soul has heard the call of the Holy Spirit.
Keep going. Daniel 1:8 Daniel purposed in his heart . . .
Praise God! Keep on keepin’ on.
Hallelujah!
Dear All,
If anyone is/was questioning the suspicious man in white hat, giving hand signals, it’s a mystery no more.
Following message is from Dr Frank Turek. I’ve been listening to his podcast for many years “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist”. A dear friend and mentor of our beloved CK.
short story?
Agree. I don’t have over an hour to spare.
That man in the white shirt was Frank Turek, a close friend and mentor to Charlie, who was with him in the vehicle when Charlie was taken to the hospital.
It is the same man speaking in the video.
He is a Christian apologist, essentially doing the same good work as Charlie did.
Very effective worker for the Lord.
can you summarize this, please? it’s an hour and 15 mins, just don’t have time. Thanks in advance.
See my comment, above, please.
There’s a 30-second TikTok from a woman Friday who explains Frank Turek.
“ when my brain is full of things I want to say – my prayers and life lessons have guided me to understand that is exactly when it is best to say nothing.”
Sundance, wise words and inaction. I will ponder how to better apply that to my own life. Thank you.
Prayers for the family and future.
Bravo Sundance!
This time you got it pitch perfect so to speak. The time is not now/ The focus must be as you stated ” honor his faith, work and legacy. ”
There are times in the past I have quibbled with how you have chosen to frame things specific to your own political bias, but I have never waivered from the reality that for direct analysis of many deep dive issues on extremely complicated issues you are beyond competent and insightful.
As a Christian, A Patriot , A MAGA Voter, I thank you for the choice to reserve , hold back at the moment and refrain from shaping or conditioning the narrative around Charlie’s murder.
The day will come when you and others can let loose and share the dynamics you feel matter. This is not that day.
Again thank you for applying a thoughtful lens and introspection as you stand down at present.
Please please PLEASE tell me Speaker Mike Johnson will not also be in attendance.
You wouldn’t want Chuck Grassley to be President? I’m not sure I would either.
…steady hands and strong, experienced mind..
I was hoping Marco would stay home.
The top three in the same place.
Dang.
On the other hand, the One Who turned President Trump’s head just a little in Butler is still sovereign, so I know that His will shall be done.
Even with all the negative noise from all over …(would it be 50% of our Nation?) we know a lot of good people, kind people, are hurting immensely because of this dastardly assassination of a kind man.
May he rest in peace and may he guide his wife and children and parents to a peaceful place.
He will be missed.
And when my brain is full of things I want to say – my prayers and life lessons have guided me to understand that is exactly when it is best to say nothing.
Thank you.
Me too.
