Faith Under Fire

While President Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, ended in an assassination attempt, the rally demonstrated the power of Faith, Family, and Freedom.

Faith because many Americans immediately started praying when they heard the news, and because millions believe God’s hand protected Donald Trump and the country.

What’s at stake is our freedom.

But family was dramatically on display. As soon as the first shots rang out, Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, instantly threw his body over his family to shield them from harm. He took the bullet.

Comperatore is another example of Christian sacrifice. This man was willing to die for his family -- for his wife and daughters. It is the essence of Christianity. This is what we are all fighting for.

To better understand what kind of man Corey Comperatore was, here is a powerful excerpt of a social media post written by his grieving daughter, Allyson.

“What was supposed to be an exciting day that we had all looked forward to (ESPECIALLY my dad), turned into the most traumatizing experiences someone could imagine. . . But I want everyone to know what the media will not cover, and will not say about him.

“He was the best dad a girl could ever ask for. My sister and I never needed for anything. You call, he would answer, and he would do whatever it is you needed, and if he didn't know how he would figure out how. He could talk and make friends with anyone, which he was doing all day yesterday and loved every minute of it. He was a man of God, loved Jesus fiercely, and also looked after our church and our members as family.

“The media will not tell you that he died a real-life super hero. They are not going to tell you how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground. They are not going to tell you that he shielded my body from the bullet that came at us. He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us.”

Corey Comperatore was a patriot. He loved Jesus. He loved America. The left would call him a “Christian nationalist” and a “danger to democracy.” They couldn’t be more wrong. Corey Comperatore is exactly the kind of man who made America great and without whom our nation is doomed.

By the way, a GoFundMe page set up for the victims and families of Saturday’s shooting has raised more than $4.2 million. The generosity of the American people is truly inspiring!
