“… of whom the world was not worthy” (Hebrews 11:38).

Preface: Today, I call on all of us to remember.  Yesterday was a sad day in this country.  Charlie Kirk, devout Christian, devoted husband and father, activist for truth and decency, was savagely slain in Utah.  We all know about this tragic event.  When I heard, I will confess that I wept.  I have listened to his broadcasts and watched his videos for years.  He was a bold witness for Christ and a skilled defender of truth.  He will be sorely missed by the church and in this nation.  To honor this departed man of God, I offer a piece I wrote many years ago about another martyr for the faith, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. But after reading about Bonhoeffer, please note my final thoughts about Charlie Kirk and September 11.
