Persecuted Christians around the world + a prayer for BOLDNESS

This is a bit of an unplanned episode but I need to share this message with you. Usually I’m not one to talk about the news or things like that. But I think this is important.

The past few weeks have been really heavy in our world. There have been school shootings with young children being killed. A young woman was brutally killed on a bus. Charlie Kirk who was a husband, father, and most importantly a Christian was assassinated and martyred.

Death and destruction has been growing. This is just some of the tragic news happening in America right now. This is happening everywhere. All around the world people are dying, starving, facing loss, unspeakable pain, and suffering.

Our world is broken.

People are broken.

There is hope and His name is Jesus.

Are you ready to meet Jesus?

Our lives are so short in light of eternity.

Our life is merely a breath, like a flower that springs up only to wither in the sun.

We don’t know when we will die. We don’t know if we will have tomorrow. We don’t know when we will meet our maker.

Tomorrow is not promised.

Are you ready to die? Do you know where you will go? Are you right with Jesus?

As a Christian—a believer in Jesus and the Bible—I believe there is only one way to salvation, to be with our Heavenly Father and go to heaven, and that is by believing in Jesus Christ. He is the only way. All other options, all other roads, and all other things lead you away from Jesus and ultimately will lead you to hell.

This is what I believe.

I urge you, if you do not know Jesus, to follow Him! Believe in Jesus, repent from your sins, and be saved!

Tomorrow is not promised.

Be saved today!

“if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” —Romans 10:9-13

Have hope.

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.“ —Philippians 1:21

Death is only the door to be with Jesus Christ. Death (even though it can be sad, scary, and painful) is the door home. Earth is not our home. Our home is with Jesus.

“All death can do to the believer is deliver him to Jesus.” -Charlie Kirk
