The Assassination of Charlie Kirk is a Turning Point for America
I’ve been broken hearted this whole last week over the death
of Charlie kirk. Such a brazen, monstrous act demands a full-throated response.
More on that later. They took the best of us. They killed the man they couldn’t
debate. They shot the truth teller because their hearts were full of lies. They
murdered an effective leader who started turning the youth to Christ. Who is
“They”? the Left. The demonic, selfish Left that couldn’t hear the truth about
the lie of transgender ideology. Nor could they handle sound logic about
abortion and gay lifestyles. Charlie spoke logic and held up our behavior to
the living truth of the gospel. They killed him like John the Baptist and
reveled in his destruction.
Happy Warrior
He wasn’t a minister, but anyone who speaks truth must
eventually contend with the Divine. The world God created is designed a certain
way. It doesn’t matter how you feel about it. The Creator of the world spoke life
and process into existence and gave humanity a role in nurturing it. We ignore
its design at our own peril. Charlie’s articulation of God’s natural order was
easy to understand. He spoke plainly about everything and never apologized. His
humor and attitude remained positive, forward thinking. The eagerness with
which he took on all challengers made him stand out among his peers.
His Movement
His Turning Point movement became more important to the
Republican party than the RNC (Republican National Committee) ever was. It
remains the most effective vehicle for bringing the young, men in particular,
to the Right. Charlie didn’t separate politics from Christianity except where
there isn’t any commonality. TPUSA (Turning Point USA) had begun a faith wing
to bring churches and Christian leaders on board. This probably didn’t sit well
with those who think religion and politics shouldn’t mix. But like the old
Republican establishment, that way of thinking is being replaced by a youth
movement that wants more of God.
Young America
After seeing their world ripped apart by lies about marriage, family and moral living, Generation Z wants a world with ordered purpose. With all its imperfections, religion (Christianity in America) unites us under a common belief system. It wasn’t that long ago that divorce was rare, houses were affordable, and depression and anxiety were less common. Kids recognize that something has broken down in the culture. It begins with a strong fear of the Lord that’s been missing in society. Kirk knew how to show this through argumentation and debate. They killed him for it.
Where to from here?
This is ultimately a Spiritual problem. As Christians we
pray for our land. We pray for those who cursed Charlie and celebrated his
death, but we demand justice and retribution in the strongest terms. It’s
domestic terrorism and should be dealt with by kicking in doors and freezing
bank accounts. This kid they’ve arrested was at least connected with Antifa. Not to mention his boyfriend looks to be another confused
transgender. Arrests need to begin immediately. I don’t believe the FBI doesn’t
know who the secretive Antifa are or where their funding comes from. We need an earnest
accounting of who sources domestic terrorism.
If the Left is too entrenched in the deep state to make a
difference, we don’t have a country anymore.
Funding Sources
Steve Bannon said on his Saturday show that he thinks MAGA
law enforcement types are afraid of being killed. Let’s pray that that isn’t
true. I’d start looking into the Soros network first, but if Elon Musk’s DODGE
showed us anything it’s that most Left wing funding comes from the taxpayers.
No line item exists on the federal budget for violent Marxists of course,
but through thousands of cutouts the money gets there. Like water on the street
after a rainfall, it finds the cracks every time. I’m optimistic that at least the
top level FBI and DOJ (Department of Justice) offices are on board with the
crackdown. The FBI is still full of deep state goons hoping to bide their
time until Trump is gone. It’s a fight that I hope team Trump is ready for.
On that note, I read a transcript of the Vice President (Vance)
on Charlie Kirk’s radio show today. He said something that I think needs to be
repeated because a lot of normies like the sound of unity. He laid bare the lie about
“unity” that people use so cheaply on social media. And, he said it isn’t a “both
sides” problem. Fortunately, he gets it at a fundamental level, as does Stephen
Miller. As long as both of them are involved in the fight, and the messaging, I’m
encouraged.
Christian Response
As to the Spiritual side of this, I’m reminded that ‘we wrestle
not against flesh and blood’. Prayer is always the response of the Christian to
trials and upheaval. But I’m concerned that some of my fellow believers are
waving this killing off too quickly, and excitedly talking about the possible salvation
of the killer. Their first response should be to see justice done swiftly and
the network of domestic terror dismantled. I worry that we don’t have righteous
anger toward evil anymore. That soft on crime attitude from Evangelical
Liberals makes us all less safe. Our cities are violent and out of control because
of policies that blame victims and excuse repeat offenders.
Conclusion
I said above we need a full-throated response from law enforcement or this will keep happening. Dismantle the networks, kick in doors, arrest the conspirators and kill the violent resistance. We need to pray for our investigators and police, federal and local, to bring swift justice and make critical arrests. Just like with the crackdown on criminal illegal aliens, we don’t just pray that they’ll all go back to their country. We send in the ones appointed by God to bring justice. It's maddening that this evil seems to persist. Elementary schools are under attack by vicious trans monsters while innocent women are stabbed riding the light rail home after work. It's time for a reckoning.
I think Psalm 94 is appropriate here.
“How long will
the wicked triumph? They utter speech, and speak insolent things; all the
workers of iniquity boast in themselves. They break in pieces Your people, O
Lord, and afflict Your heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and
murder the fatherless. Yet they say, “The Lord does not see, nor does the God
of Jacob understand.” (verses 4-7)
“He has
brought on them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own
wickedness; the Lord our God shall cut them off.”(verse 23)
Charlie Kirk brought light and truth to a generation. His
legacy will live on.
