Jeremiah 36 - Why was Charlie Kirk assassinated and what can we do about it? The times we live in have not changed. When you speak the truth to people, there is always a danger of those who hate the truth to react. Jeremiah was commanded to write God's words to the king. However the king did not appreciate those words and burned the scroll that Jeremiah wrote in the fire. Charlie Kirk enters into the faith hall of all the martyrs before him, only that we witnessed it live and on social media.
