Thank you Janice. I too am heartsick. I'm most saddened by observing joy in people celebrating the death of another human being. How can this be?

It’s a level of evil I don’t wish to understand. All I can say is that they better be begging Jesus to save their wretched souls.

Someone I know said to me after the attempted assassination of President Trump, "Too bad they missed!" I replied, "How depraved are you to wish death upon someone?" That person hasn't spoken to me since, and that's quite alright with me.

I believe that they all need to be investigated by law enforcement.

Thank you, Janice. I can’t wrap my head around the evil in this world. Come quickly Lord Jesus!

I grieve for Charlie's family, but I understand the cause of actions like this. All killings, known and unknown, are a result of a rejection of God. The further society slides from God's grace, the worse it will become until the end of time on this world. I am saddened, not shocked.

I agree. Some years ago I posted something similar over on my public FB page. When one understands that souls devoid of Christ are devoid of life and reason, it is obvious that they are behaving exactly as their spiritual state warrants. They are tools of satan that he uses to steal, kill, and destroy.

God is near to the broken hearted and there are many of us today.

Thank you Janice for a beautiful tribute to Charlie. He was an amazing young man- unashamed of the Gospel & his LORD! As I awakened to a world without Charlie, my thoughts went immediately to Erica & the children. Praying for them during this difficult time. Shae Dixon, Scottsdale, AZ

Very humbling to me for him to do that. I appreciate his faith and his fearlessness in standing for truth.

Thank you, Janice. Woke up this morning feeling sick, but I know that Charlie is rejoicing. His murder will be a turning point. Praying for revival. 🙏🏻♥️

How I wish God protected Charlie from the death….. in a split of second, he is gone…. Truly heartbreaking 💔

I understand. Shortly before the announcement came that he had passed away, I was on my knees begging God to save him. I knew He could.

2 Timothy 2:23-26

[23] Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. [24] And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, [25] correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, [26] and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
