I’m not sure where to begin. My heart is sad and heavy today. I’m sad not just because Charlie Kirk was murdered yesterday, but because of what it reveals about the state of our nation.
There are many who celebrated his death when they heard, posting themselves dancing on TikTok and speaking aloud their joy in another person’s death. There was cheering in TMZ Media’s studio when the staff there heard the news.
Can you even imagine cheering at someone’s death? It’s baffling to me. No matter whether you agreed or disagreed, Charlie Kirk was a human being, a husband, a father. His wife never gets to kiss him goodnight again. His children never get to run into his arms again.
If you rejoiced at this news, even if you just thought “good riddance” or “he got what he deserved”, please go stand in front of a mirror and digest who you really are. Stand convicted of the hate and sin in your heart.
Charlie Kirk was willing to put everything on the line for his faith. He didn’t do it with violence or anger or hatred. He was always seated at a table in a humble manner when taking questions. He was always willing to hear others and answer intelligently and calmly.
You don’t have to agree with what he stood for. You don’t have to like it. But we all need to come to a place where violence in response to disagreement cannot be the answer. Somehow we have to find that common ground that every person everywhere has the right to life, peaceful life, that every person is a human being with loved ones, a soul, and thoughts and feelings.
Christian mamas, this is a turning point in our culture. We have been fighting the good fight at home everyday but let’s be even more purposeful in teaching our kids the truth of God’s Word and what freedom should really look like. Let’s stand up for what we believe in, step in and help when we see a need, and never shy away from sharing the love of Jesus. It’s time to take up the torch Charlie had to put down. All of us.
Each of us and each of our children have a purpose in this life. We need to be equipped and we need to equip our children to be ready for that purpose. We live in dark days but that just means the light of Jesus is going to shine brighter and brighter. Get into the Word, memorize it, pray, and share God’s love and teach your kids to do the same.
Hate doesn’t get to win.
