“as I heard the horrific news of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I was on my way to speak to a group of pastors who had come here to tour the Capitol and take in our beloved National Capital. I couldn't help but in that moment be reminded of Hebrews 11, which people of faith understand to be the hall of fame of faith. It goes through the chapter and explains all the great feats of faith of people like Abraham, Moses, Samson, and David. It talks about how they, through faith, conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised. It goes on, and it continues. It says that there were others who were tortured, refusing to be released, so they may gain an even better resurrection. Some faced years of floggings, even chains and imprisonment. It goes on to say that the world was not worthy of them. The world was not worthy of Charlie Kirk. He spoke truths that we understand that we can build a life upon. He also understood that there were truths that we could build a nation upon. He, more than any, conveyed those things with clarity, especially to a generation who had been taught moral relativism and had been taught that truth could not be found. He spoke very clearly and with compassion and human dignity. Above all, beyond his faith and beyond his policy, he had the courage. He had the courage to make a difference and the courage to stand. I hope that we continue with that same courage, as we continue to serve the people of this great Nation.”
