Friends, Jesus calls us to love our enemies.

Today, I was struck by Erika Kirk’s granting of forgiveness to the man who killed her husband—a breathtaking moment of the Gospel on full display. pic.twitter.com/EoPoqf8zI0

The Conservative Chorus: Erika Kirk, Martyr for Charity”>/by

I was one of the 100+ thousand people who appeared in Phoenix yesterday to mourn Charlie Kirk, murdered on Sep 10 for the cause of Christian conservatism. The Left, tirelessly loyal to their indecent obsession for power, characterized the memorial variously as Nazi, Nazi-like, and Nazi-esque. Considering the public etiquette of political leaders for at least 3 decades, the most rare aspect of this particular event was the overt Christianity, the regular appeals to theology and Christian example; every single member of the Administration Cabinet quoted scripture or cited an event from the New Testament.
