Reverend Howard-John Wesley received a minute-long standing ovation from his congregants yesterday, a week after his nasty anti-Charlie Kirk sermon went viral. We previously wrote about him after he used used Proverbs 30 to argue in FAVOR of LGBTQ relationships.
Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Wesley, the senior pastor of the Alfred Street Baptist Church in Virginia, preached last week in a widely circulated message:
“Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated, but I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff, calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land.
How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life. I can abhor the violence that took your life, but I don’t have to celebrate how you chose to live.”
Appearing subdued, Wesley revealed to his congregation that they’d turned down all media requests because “we don’t engage in soundbites, we engage in preaching the whole truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
He informed the church that “the leadership of the church family, our staff, our deacons, our council have done all that we know to do at this point to make certain that you are safe whenever you are in this space. And we continue to do so to protect ourselves and our house of worship.”
After someone in the crowd shouted that they loved him, Wesley responded, “I love you back,” resulting in a nearly minute-long standing ovation.
Following the ovation, he told his congregants:
“I never stand in this pulpit looking for any kind of notoriety or viral clips. That’s not why we do what we do. You never know how God is gonna use and move and shift. And this whole week, I’ve been reminded by my mentors that God has trusted us with this moment, and we’ve got to handle it in the right way. So I thank you for your prayers, family, more than the applause, I solicit your prayers over my children.”
Wesley reveals, “It’s been a tough week emotionally and spiritually,” and that “I just didn’t have it in me to stand and preach today.” As a result, he had a guest speaker preach the message.

To cite a song the fell out of grace with the PC crowd, he’s straight from the Darkey Sunday School.
I was going to ask “is he black?” Never mind - I looked and the answer is yes!
Wolf in sheep’s clothing, totally a false teacher.
Charlie spoke the TRUTH, and this pastor is under the impression that TRUTH can be whatever he wants it to be.
Charlie didn’t hate anyone.
It is a loving thing to admonish the sinner.
Howard-John Wesley is a tranny violence advocate and a POS.
He’s a dick
Without repentence, he will be in hell, which doesn’t make God or me happy, but he will be in hell.
Why does he have a normal name and not De’Shaun or L’ontre or some nonsense like that?
Because a Godly man like Charlie Kirk distracted you from your stash of tranny porn on your computer, Rebrum Howard-John Wesley.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.
, 2 Timothy 4:3
A grifting akata POS.
To a “progressive”, a conservative cannot just be wrong. A conservative is by definition also a racist and a hater.
This is VERY concerning. Because the first step in planning for the destruction of a group is to demonize that group.
The Alfred Street Baptist Church is located in the City of Alexandria just across the river from DC. It is 99.99% black. Obama used this church to disseminates his message to his people while he was President. On holidays he would attend church there. He used this church and the City of Alexandria as a petri dish for his radical policies. Many of the parishioners work/ed for the FedGov. Many are tied in with the City of Alexandria politicians—Mayor, City Council. All of these mentioned are radical and rabid Leftists. This speech, which I saw on TV, is beyond disturbing and it shows you the attitude on the Left (and how easily they are led) and the attitude of those in elected positions over you.
I posted on another thread where the minister slammed the late Charlie Kirk that such people of any race and any ethnicity are wrong. I found later that one was a white man.
Discouraging that the congregation rose to cheer in a standing ovation in this one.
EVIL!! God is NOT TO BE MOCKED!
I believe he is over the age of 50 before the AFroFauxFrancais method of naming black children came into vogue.
He’s BLACK???? Even worse!!
