“Charlie looked at politics as an onramp to Jesus. He knew if he could get all of you rowing in the streams of liberty, that you would come to the Source and that is the Lord. ”
Charlie Kirk’s pastor led the Sunday service of our lifetime as a world watched in awe.
In South Korea, where Kirk spoke on Christian persecution only a few weeks before, mourners waved American flags in the streets. Some of them said, “We Are Charlie Kirk.”
In a country where people are killed for their faith routinely, they understand that, though the bullet hit Charlie, it was pointed at all of us.
Jesus has come to seek and save what is lost, in a world where we are all searching for truth and fighting over what it means: To deny the flesh and follow the principles we learned and live within our design, not seeking validation from a world dark with influence to pull us away from divinity.
The modern world leaves young people lost but starving for inclusion and acceptance. Every day, reality wears down our bodies and minds. Our spirits run weary, fighting to fill the needs of each day.
Many in my generation and younger have lost touch with our inner divinity.
Charlie knew that God and his design for the family are our nation’s hope to avoid a downward spiral into moral corruption and hatred.
Charlie inspired a revival in a world that didn’t realize it needed one. He was a reminder that we’re running a race – with a disposable battery. Eventually the final light will lose its flicker and the quiet will surround this cooling body.
The need we feel to fight and be heard and be seen doesn’t come from us. It comes from the inherent spark we carry. It is what unites us, not what divides us.
Our right to free speech flowed from our founders’ belief that our ability to speak and be heard was a right stemming from natural law. God gave us the word and the word was God.
Government cannot kill what God built with His divine hand.
Stand. Speak. Fearlessly. Relentlessly. The only punishment we can ever truly receive is separation from eternity with our Father.
Let them question your motives, your intentions, your word choice – but never your belief. That our passion comes from a Father who laid down his life for what was right to save His fellow man.
To save us from a world crafted with customs and a culture that demands we be silent and bend the knee to those who say they speak for everyone.
They do not.
That’s who the Pharisees were and ultimately, their dominion was dwarfed by that of a true King.
The truth cannot be quieted. Let the tables flip, the vultures swarm and the darkness fall. For only then can the light be seen in all of its glory.
The radical left and its culture war do not own our soul.
The word was with God and God was the word. Men are men. Women are women. Babies are born from the breath of God within the womb. And Lord is over us all. That is worth living, and even dying for.
Of course, the choice is ours. Free will is the beauty in love and the tragedy in destruction.
