For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and discharge all the duties of your ministry. Pray at this moment for Charlie Kirk’s family, including Erica and the two young kids, as well as for his team and the country for strength and encouragement at this crucial time.
