Southern Baptist NAMB Leader Implies Charlie Kirk Caused His Own Murder

There’s a sickness, or possibly a judgment, in the house of God, and no polite resolution or committee report is going to fix it. It’s the kind of sickness that made prophets tear their clothes and cry out at the city gates. The kind that takes the murder of a man and uses it as an opportunity to lecture the living about tone.

This past Sunday, James T. Roberson III—pastor of Bridge Church NYC and a flagship product of the SBC’s North American Mission Board—stepped into the pulpit with the blood of Charlie Kirk barely dry and decided that what the sheep really needed was a rebuke.

“Charlie Kirk and other political activists… fight for Jesus with anger and harshness and rage,” he said, as if the funeral had already passed and it was time to get to the postmortem. Then came this: “I also denounced the way he carried himself and especially the way he talked about black people… Just because someone fought for Jesus doesn’t mean they fought like Jesus.”

It felt less like a pastoral reflection and more like a second assassination.
