⁵ The boastful shall not stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
⁶ You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
YHWH abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man (Psalm 5)

The morning opened with more stories pouring out of North Carolina over the death of a Ukrainian woman at the hands of a ruthless murderer. The woman had been riding the train on her way home when a murderous thug cut her throat for no reason, other than the fact that he wanted to kill a “white bitch.” Those are his words, as quoted in the media.

That was hard enough.

Then as I was working on another post, my wife walked through the door and said, “Have you been on X?”

“No, why?”

“Charlie Kirk has been shot.”

Yahweh tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates (Psalm 11:5)

Who is Charlie Kirk? I will let Grok answer:

Charlie Kirk is an American conservative activist, author, and media personality. He is the founder and president of Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization that promotes conservative values on college campuses. Born on October 14, 1993, in Wheeling, Illinois, Kirk gained prominence through his advocacy for free markets, limited government, and traditional values. He is a frequent commentator on political issues, often appearing on conservative media outlets like Fox News and hosting “The Charlie Kirk Show,” a daily radio program and podcast. Kirk is known for his outspoken views on topics like immigration, education, and cultural issues, often sparking controversy with his rhetoric. He has authored several books, including The MAGA Doctrine and The College Scam. His influence is significant among young conservative audiences, amplified by his large social media following, particularly on platforms like X, where he engages with current events and political debates.

I only started listening to Kirk about 6 months ago, because I was attracted to the way he handled questions from the audience. He always respected everyone he spoke with, even though they may not have returned that respect. I also loved his ability to bring in the facts about in every situation. He didn’t argue from a feelings standpoint, as so many of those who opposed him did. And the facts for his positions were always well verified.

Today, someone shot and killed him. Since he argued from a conservative point of view, he was hated by the left. No matter how many stood before him, they could never hold their own against Charlie Kirk. Their only solution: kill him.

This is their solution for anyone who gets in their way. As Rush Limbaugh used to say, “they cannot win in the arena of ideas.” We saw this with the COVID scam. And we are seeing it now. They cannot win in the arena of ideas because they are ensconced in lies and murder. The Democratic Party has always been the party of lies and murder. It was founded on the principle of keeping blacks in their place, and used the KKK to do so. Now, it uses Black Lives Matters, and the government to keep blacks in their place.

The irony is that those in the Democrat Party are always in the habit of calling those of us on the right, like Charlie Kirk, Hitler. They love to throw that pejorative  around. Yet, while Hitler murdered his 6,000,000 Jews, they have slaughtered their 60,000,000 babies.

And that is the point. The Left is use to murder. They’ve been doing it for 150 years and those of us on the right, are not. We are led to believe that we can continue to live in our country with these murderers using civil discourse. Kind of like what Charlie Kirk did. He was the best there was. And they assassinated him.

Why?

Because it is what they do.

¹⁵ “Their feet are swift to shed blood,
¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their paths,
¹⁷ And the path of peace they have not known” (Romans 3). 

Charlie Kirk was called home to be with our Savior today. From what I understand, those on BlueSky are rejoicing, but for all the wrong reasons.

Those of us in Christ, should rejoice, for all the right reasons. Charlie knew our Savior. He was a believer. I’m sure he heard the words: “Well done, good and faithful servant,” just a few short hours ago.

He does rest in peace. May our Savior give his wife and children the comfort that only those of us in Christ, truly know.
