In Memory of the Legacy of Charlie Kirk

 

After the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the response from the lunatic fringe on the liberal left, the outpouring of support for Charlie and his family has been global.

Unlike the liberal left who support the first amendment at long as it only pertains to them, and calls anything that a Christian says, “hate speech”, Charlie was a man who wanted to sit down and have a dialogue with anyone who disagreed with him. He was polite, and while he might have attacked a person’s views with facts and thought-out arguments, he never attacked the person themselves.

Charlie upset many people because he destroyed all the moral relativism arguments. If you are a moral relativist, there is no right or wrong, no absolute truth, and therefore you can’t defend calling anything good or bad.

Charlie was a strong Christian and one of the greatest apologists for Biblical truth of the 21^st century. He believed that the Bible, as the Word of God, was the ultimate authority on what is truth and that it defines what is good or evil.

He was a champion of the faith as well as a champion for the unborn.

The liberal left calls the massacre of unborn children, women’s health care.

Have you ever noticed on Facebook that it is almost always the people that are calling someone else a narcissist or a manipulator, that are themselves narcissists and manipulators.

The same people that call for a ban on guns are the ones celebrating that Charlie got shot. They call him racist, misogynist, intolerant, and divisive. If you’ve ever listened to any of his debates you know that he was none of those things. They hated him because he stood for something and he could back it up with facts, data and the Word of God.

Now, I don’t expect that everyone reading this will agree with what he stood for on the political front and that’s OK.

Let me make it clear that I am not putting forward any kind of political agenda in this blog. You can believe what you want to believe. I have never taken a side in politics from the pulpit because my job is to preach the Gospel, lead people to Christ and to teach the Bible.

But it precisely because of my job description that I must stand up for the unborn child and that I will stand against the alphabet soup of gender politics because the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is very clear that these are sin issues. Love the people, hate the sin because it keeps those people from an intimate relationship with God and because the enemy has used these issues to enslave them.

I didn’t admire Charlie because of his political views, I admired him because he stood up for what he believed in and was willing to have a dialogue with anyone who disagreed with him.

But most of all, I admired him for his faith in Christ and how he took that message to the masses.

I think it is repugnant how may have responded to his assassination, but I think he would be the first to ask us to pray for them, for the father of lies has deceived them and they need Christ.

Charlie is now in the presence of God, where he is hearing, “Well done, my good and faithful servant”. Pray for his wife and his two young children who will grow up without a father.

Let us keep his legacy alive by boldly proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and standing up for Biblical principles.
