Things that are not part of politics happening presently and how we approach or address it as Anabaptists.

Central to Christianity is conversion. Honesty and humility are first steps.

i couldn’t find CK’s words about loving his enemies, i’m pretty sure, 1) i saw this on video, 2) followed by Trump’s response he couldn’t do that, then, 3) Erika’s now famous forgiveness of the assassin, following her husband’s lead.

praying for everyone to keep Jesus at center in all matters.
anything less will not last.

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.

.. following her husband’s lead.
One of the key messages CK took to college students was about the importance of marriage and family. i appreciate it!

i’ve mourned the loss of support for marriage and family, the sanctity of life, esp in high schools and colleges, for years!
Much has been lost in families AND churches, too.

Maybe not noticed by readers on this forum. In the world, i find it extreme loss.

Brave of CK to even suggest it.

This would have been fun to see brought up in the Memorial. I would have replaced Susie Wiles or Stephen Miller with this.

Charlie really encouraged marriage and family- having lots of children. One of the ways he wanted to be an influence on the young generation he focused on.

The “Globalists” want to reduce the population, we have seen their speeches stating so! It’s pretty pathetic.
As Satan & his realm realize their time is shorter every day, seems their turning up the evil. Satan Hayes marriage for obvious reasons. So what do we see? Drastic increase in reduction of children, increase in transgender & homosexuality- all of which reduces growth in population. It is the Antichrist spirit at work.

Charlie wanted to serve God in this manner with what Christ who will come for His Bride, the Church- which makes Satan so angry- teaches regarding marriage and children.
I agree unless your out in the midst of a Babylon atmosphere that most Anabaptist are generally not in, the need for someone like Charlie and his mission wouldn’t seem so needful- but it was. Our pastor mentioned this morning the global scale Charlie’s death affected. Honestly I’ve not seen anything like that- affecting so many lives.
Pastor also mentioned concern over “Jesus plus patriotism” implying a distorted Gospel. So he asked the question: Can you tell the difference between the True Gospel, and a “distortion “. Hmmmm

Honored! Other countries are honoring him.
Speaking of names:

The name Kirk means "church" in its Old Norse (kirkja) and Scots origins.

“For Charlie”

Elon Musk reveals why he 'reconciled' with Trump at Charlie Kirk memorial
https://www.unilad.com/news/us-news/elo ... 7-20250922
.. The duo were seen sat together chatting, appearing friendly, during the event on Sunday (September 21).
A lip reader interpreted a warm exchange of words between the pair.
And Musk took to his social media site X to mark the reunion.

Posting a photo of himself and Trump talking, Musk seemed to explain the reason behind their reunion, writing: "For Charlie."

Later, he reposted a tweet from Fox News, which told of how Erika Kirk 'forgave' the man suspected of killing her husband.
"I forgive him because it was what Christ did. And is what Charlie would do," the post said.

In another post, Musk wrote: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."
Following the memorial, Trump also addressed the situation with Musk. ..
^^Will wonders never cease.

because so many were affected and sought out a journey of faith that they said they otherwise would not have.
SO many are not brought up in any type of Christian home at all, no exposure to the Gospel
.
I work with so many that it’s not even on their personal radar so to speak. So who is trying “save” this generation?

Yet I also see the kingdom of darkness getting even more dark, vile, aggressive- I see the two sides gap widening in a very uncomfortable way, line things are coming to a head- line I’ve not seen before in my lifetime, worse than the 60s.
Maybe it’s just me.
Wrt the 60’s, i believe more chaos was happening, however, today’s tech AMPLIFIES so much, it skews senses. Not to mention, children, teens, young people have both little escape, combined with lack of experience+judgment to cope with it.

CK “dared to go” .. with tragic but fascinating results.

.. Erika’s delivery reflected how agonizing it can be to choose Jesus’ way.
Her voice, facial expressions, body language conveyed pain, while her WILL to follow her husband’s lead to Jesus was stronger-than her human impulses. The everyday battle against sin for Christians. ..

If ever I saw Jesus and the Holy Spirit at work in a person it was observing Erika- as pointed out she was obviously suffering on the inside, broken hearted at her and her children’s personal loss, the family, the thousands and now millions whose lives have been touched but it was an amazing moment of “not my will but think be done” the world can’t understand, the carnal mind cannot- but maybe, God willing, as Trump said, “Maybe Erika can help me with that”-
