I don’t think anyone could effectively refute the fact that many Americans are aware of Charlie’s importance in the future of the United States of America.
While millions of Christian patriots mourn his death and celebrate his life’s work, another large group of Americans celebrate his murder.
There can be no equivalence between these reactions. One celebrates life while the other celebrates death, even the violent murder of a kind, innocent man. One anticipates a spiritual revival while the other fears the effect Charlie’s murder will have on this godless, Marxist counter-revolutionary culture, toward repentance.
One promotes prayer, worship, civil debate, and peaceful actions, while the other glorifies violence and embraces destruction.
As we witness these opposing attitudes, light is shed upon the difference between the two.
The Word of God, as stated in Genesis 4:6-7, teaches us that while Abel’s sacrifice pleased God, Cain’s did not. It was because of Cain’s unrighteousness that he murdered his brother.
In other words, it is the sin in one’s own heart that may provoke us to violence. No one else is to blame for our unrighteousness or the violence it may produce.
While only God can judge the hearts of people, violent acts proceed from a sinful heart.
Wherever we see violence against the innocent, we see evidence of sin.
Wherever we see grace and mercy returned for evil, we know the restraint of the Holy Spirit is at work in a repentant heart.
The challenge Christians face in the wake of assassinations and assassination attempts is to underestimate their spiritual significance.
Vengeance belongs to the Lord, as we learn in Romans 12:19, but believers should remember the words of Joseph to his brothers, “…Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good…”
As Bible believers act upon the will of God fearlessly, relying upon the wisdom and grace of the Living God, I believe we will realize the salvation of our nation, according to the will of God.
If we cower in fear, afraid to offend the shameless and godless, we will reap the harvest of that cowardice.
The weapons of a godly warrior are courageous words, much like the brave words Charlie Kirk was speaking when his earthly life was ended. He was murdered by a confused man who was afraid of the power in those words.
Believers must take the baton handed to them by Charlie Kirk and run with it. We must not fear for our lives or our livelihood. We must courageously stand against the wicked ways that oppose truth. We must pay attention to the lies of the enemy. We must heed their warnings, not out of fear, but in preparation for our spiritual empowerment.
It was God who defeated the English in America’s Revolutionary war, but it did not happen because believers huddled in prayer in the “safety” of their church-buildings; they prayed in the fields of war, actively fighting against tyranny.
America’s forefathers acted on the Word of God. They argued for decades with the king over their God-given rights, to no avail. Then they challenged the king’s authority and righteousness in his denial of those rights with the Declaration of Independence. This declaration was proclaimed before the whole world, and it precipitated the war.
This battle was like an ant colony rising up against humans, yet through the faithful hand of the Lord Almighty, victory was achieved. It was an unforeseeable outcome but for the grace of God.
We have been given a crucial opportunity in the restoration of the God-centered nation we inherited, if we will accept it.
We are not required to accept the degraded, spiritually perverse culture that past generations have allowed to develop in America. We can say as Gandalf said in The Lord Of The Rings, “here and no further.” This is what Charlie Kirk said to the spirit of the age.
Charlie charted a path of restoration in America. Do we have the courage to do our part?
God bless you, Dave
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” __Ronald Reagan
Victory did not depend on Charlie; he had only the part God gave him to accomplish. His duty is accomplished; is yours? Duty was Charlie’s, and he performed that duty. The victory will depend on God’s hand.
What is our part in that deliverance? Will we do as Charlie did?
Charlie will not see the restoration of the USA from an earthly vantage point, just as John Quincy Adams never saw the abolition of slavery in America.
Slavery was abolished because of his tireless work and the hand of God. He could not see it from his earthly vantage point; he had to rely on the faithfulness of God.
That is our challenge. We must do the work that falls to us in our time, while we prayerfully rely upon the faithfulness of our God.
This is a powerful article that should be read in every church, every high school and every college and university.
Before the righteous take up arms against the evil perpetrators of darkness, let us see how our Lord moves in our nation. This battle belongs to the Lord. We are seeing more and more Turning Point chapters being established and millions of Charlie Kirks rising up in the land. We are seeing a revival among the young in our nation who are rejecting the lies of the radical leftists who have poisoned our institutions of education since the 1950’s.
Father God, bless this peaceful revival in our land and give Your wisdom to those who are seeking You and truth and who want to see our nation truly under God with liberty and justice for all.
Father God, continue to bless David Landry and increase his readers.
