Charlie Kirk

[FreeInChrist]

While we are at each other in who is right Charlie Kirk was shot and lilled today.

Before you say who.... He was the CEO and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA

GOP activist and stalwart Trump supporter Charlie Kirk described his faith during a recent interview as "the most important thing" in his life. "I've been a Christian basically my whole life," he told podcast host Lucas Miles.

He was a good man. The Lord will work this for good.

I do not think one should imply though, that just because someone has died, it is less consequential to stand for the truth here and now, with the "while we are at each other" comment.

If anything, it should inspire us that the truth is so precious, is not only worth fighting for here online, but dying for.

Okay, I'll withdraw that.

This is so sad he was a one of a kind generational person who was impacting our young college age students making it cool again to be conservative. He was Billy Graham meets Rush Limbaugh and a great apologist always ready to give an answer to everyone who asks about the hope he has in him about Jesus. A real soldier of Jesus in the trenches.

Charlie was a great man. He did not incite hatred or violence. He spoke the truth about LGTBQ and abortion, antisemitism, supporting Hamas, racism, crime, trans, etc. which those who participate in such things, did not want to hear. The truth, once again, is that one side of the political aisle cannot practice toleration of any who disagree with them - so they kill them. They don't want to discuss right and wrong, crime statistics, or any data that proves them wrong - so they resort to violence. Freedom of speech is allowed, as long as you agree with them. When "extremist right-wingers" disagree with them, they accuse them of "inciting hatred", when it is they themselves who are inciting hatred and murder. They can't stand to hear the truth about LGTBQ, abortion, Hamas, Israel, racism, so their only recourse is to kill the source. They are hypocrites and murderers, whose father is the devil.

The scribes, lawyers, and Pharisees did the same thing. They couldn't answer the truth about themselves, that Jesus presented, so they plotted and eventually killed him. Like the scribes, lawyers, and Pharisees, their opinions and actions are "above and beyond" criticism or question. Their anger against any who disagree with them foments the anger especially of young people, like college students, many of whom have not yet come to the realization of the truth about life, which is found only in Jesus.

I read this a little earlier and found this article on his beliefs and his wife's....

Somehow I find this humbling. He had a beautiful young wife, and she will miss him dearly.

Charlie Kirk And His Wife Begin Keeping The Sabbath​

March 25, 2022 Gerry Wagoner

Charlie Kirk is a co-founder of Turning Point USA, serving as its executive director since 2012 (at the age of 18).

He is also the CEO of Turning Point Action, and Turning Point Faith, president of Turning Point Endowment, and a member of the Council for National Policy. That’s an impressive list of accomplishments for a young man only 28 years old, however there are other accomplishments much more noteworthy.

Charlie is a Christian, and in May 2021 Kirk he married Erika Frantzve, a conservative podcaster and christian businesswoman from Arizona.

According to a recent video podcast, after discovering this truth in the Bible, Charlie and his wife began keeping the Sabbath last year, and they keep it pretty seriously.

Charlie turns his phone off on Friday night and puts it in a drawer and it stays there until Sabbath is over. He also spends the time resting, reading the Bible, praying and writing. Sometimes they go for walks. He says the Sabbath day is ‘restorative’ and a gift to mankind.

Erika says “There is something very powerful about obedience to Christ and honoring God with the Sabbath.” She continues,

“There’s so much spiritual warfare is going on right now. It is palpable, you can feel it in rooms you walk into, when you're watching the news it is surrounding us and the only way to fight back is with God's Word. The only way to understand and make sense of it [life] is with God's Word and if you don't take time to literally quiet your mind from the noise of life you will be inundated. From news articles to press releases, to your friend doing something, your family member's not allowing you to come to the holidays or whatever. It's really something special to be aligned with the Sabbath and God's Word, to be able to just take the time to just breathe, cut out the noise and just be in alignment with the [Holy] Spirit and know what your role is in all of this.”
