Hebrews 11:38 speaks about those that lived for God but this world was not worthy of them. I believe Charlie Kirk was an example since this verse 'signifies that these individuals were so spiritually excellent and faithful that their existence enriched the world, yet the world itself was incapable of appreciating their true worth'.

Well, hello there, I hope you are feeling mighty fine on this Friday, September 26, 2025. Lil Miss Biscuit and I, with a cup of hot strong Community Coffee were outside before daylight this morning enjoying the mid 60's temperature with a wee bit lower humidity and that makes for a good start here. I'm not sure but I think Al Gore eliminated fall weather when he was dealing with the climate crisis, so, we are left with our memories to console us as we conjure up images of fall colors which we might get a semblance of here if it stays dry. Just joking. Don't send me any hate mail because had he and his ilk been correct in their projections, those states with coastlines would be mostly under water by now. On to something more positive, while we are observing the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, the Gospel is still being proclaimed as clips and reels are played on social media platforms all over the world. Talk about going out with a bang! No pun intended. He had said he most wanted to be remembered for "his courage for his faith because his faith was the most important thing in his life..." As I hear kids say and Charlie's testimony most definitely deserves a , "Wowie! Zowie!" While we recognize his contributions it is clear God has used his death to speak to the hearts of those who constitute the command that we go into all the world. His death might have been the catalyst but Charlie would have been the first to tell anyone at anytime, it is the power of the Gospel that changes lives, not the messenger who proclaims it. Frank Turek, an outstanding apologist/defender of the Faith and of the Gospel, said these words that continue to resonate with me, "Now, I want you to know that Charlie right now is in heaven, not because he was a great husband and father, not because he saved millions of kids out of darkness on college campuses, not because he changed minds and chased votes to save the country, not because he sacrificed himself for his Savior. Charlie Kirk is in heaven because his Savior sacrificed himself for Charlie Kirk." That brief summation is holy shouting grounds for those of us who will one day experience the transition Charlie experienced, "....Absent from the body present with the Lord." (2nd Corinthians 5:8)

 

I hope today's visit will be the source of encouragement to all who seek to live their lives for the Lord. The old song says, "It will be worth it all when we see Jesus." I do hope you have a great today, Saturday, and, that, on Sunday, you will find the time to attend a called out assembly, (a Bible Believing Church), where people spend time loving each other, worshiping God, and hearing from Him as His Word is shared. As I like to close each time: May God add His blessings. Amen.
