Charlie Kirk didn’t hate anyone. Social media is full of lies about what he believed. The people spewing that hate are obviously repeating what they have been told instead of doing their own research. It is particularly hard to see teachers who are shaping young minds write vile comments.
18,000 requests to create chapters have been sent to Turning Point USA since Charlie’s assassination. America is undergoing a revival because of one man’s courage and love for God. My thoughts turned to Stephen who was stoned to death in Acts Chapter 7 because he spoke truth about Jesus to people who didn’t want to hear it. Watching gleefully was a man named Saul who had a mission to murder Christians. Jesus converted Saul into the greatest Apostle of all, Paul.
Charlie Kirk’s life mission to reach young people with truth didn’t die with him. Just as Christianity exploded after Stephen was stoned, the death of Charlie is amplifying his message of Christian love and creating apostles for truth.
The words of Jesus as he was crucified – Luke 23:24:
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Social media is clarifying good and evil. It is clarifying who knows what they are doing and who doesn’t.
Charlie Kirk was a martyr. Charlie Kirk was a good man, a good husband, and a good father. Celebrating his murder is evil.
Today I choose to pray for evil, I’m now out participating in prosecuting it. God will do that for me.
Great insight and message.
Local media has done a great job of stirring the pot writing an article about people losing their jobs. Who cares. Maybe participation trophies are out and consequences can return.
I’m with you Diane. I’m seeing too much hate. I confess, I’m guilty too. That wasn’t what Charlie was about. That’s not what Jesus preached. I will still speak out against wrong as Jesus did but not in a hateful manner. Taking the Not In My Mind pledge. NIMM
43,000 request as of yesterday morning. It may be higher now.
There are so many suspects involved in the Kirk assassination it isn’t funny. I’ll wait for a spell to comment on that. One should not take their eyes off the ball. What this has exposed is that there are violent embedded cells all over the country willing to harm and even kill if you do not agree with them and their perverted view of the world. This country is loaded with mentally ill and the criminally insane walking the streets. Social media has provided them the cover outlet to spread their evil almost anywhere and carry out all types of physical violence that they use for a convoluted sense of self worth. Always have your head on a swivel and be ready to the needed measures to protect life and limb.
