Christian pastors and Evangelical leaders are joining the chorus of Americans nationwide who are mourning the loss of Christian social activist Charlie Kirk.
While expressing shared grief over the significant loss for his millions of followers, and, more importantly, his family and close friends, many are reflecting on God’s promise of salvation through Christ and everlasting life for those who believe in Him.
Several questions remain about the identity of the shooter who, with one lone bullet, killed Kirk during a Q&A with attendees at TPUSA’s “The American Comeback Tour” stop at Utah Valley University at 12:20 p.m. local time on Wednesday.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox described the fatal shooting as a targeted “political assassination” and warned that his state still has the death penalty.
Cox added that as the nation looks ahead to its 250th anniversary and the shared history of the freedom of speech and debate, which Kirk was exercising in the exchange of ideas, citizens should think deeply about “where we want to be.”
“To ask ourselves, ‘Is this it? Is this what 250 years has brought on us?’ I pray that that’s not the case,” he added.
