Iâve never written anything this personal or this long before. At first, I considered keeping these thoughts to myself & tucking them away as sort of a private meditation, but after much prayer & reflection, I feel God placed it on my heart to share. This isnât just a message, itâs a burden that weighs heavily on my soul, something I believe many need to hear, especially now.
So let me ask you something, sincerely, and I hope youâll sit with it...
If Jesus Christ walked this earth again today, right now, in our modern age (steeped in pride, arrogance & moral confusion) would we truly recognize Him? Would we welcome Him with open arms, or would we mock, dismiss & crucify Him all over again?
I only ask because whatâs happening around us makes the answer painfully clear.
The culture today mirrors the ancient world more than weâd like to admit. Quick to condemn, slow to understand & utterly hostile toward truth.
The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk is a sobering moment.
Itâs tragic enough that a man lost his life, but even more disturbing, is the response from many corners of society. Rather than mourning, some laughed. Rather than reflecting, many justified it. People cheered, mocked & slandered a man who didnât commit any act of violence & never called for bloodshed. He simply stood up & spoke with boldness & with conviction.
He wasnât a man driven by rage or hatred. He was a man of reason. Someone who pulled from history, data, Scripture & personal faith to spark dialogue. His words werenât weapons. They were invitations. Letâs talk. Letâs reason. Prove me wrong.
And for that, he was hated.
For that, he was silenced.
To those who celebrated his death, who called him evil, who said he âgot what he deservedâ, I ask you. What does that say about you?
Because mocking the death of a human being, no matter how much you disagree with them, is not justice, itâs a glimpse into a hardened heart. Itâs not moral superiority, itâs spiritual blindness. The devil doesnât just thrive on violence. He thrives on our indifference to it & he rejoices when we mistake hatred for righteousness. And many of you took the bait.
Letâs be honest about whatâs happening here. This is spiritual warfare.
Charlie Kirk wasnât perfect (none of us are) but he wasnât what many claimed. He wasnât a fascist, or a bigot, or a hateful extremist. These labels that are often flung around so casually in todayâs culture, are used not to describe someone, but to destroy them. And when you can dehumanize someone with lies, it becomes easier for people to justify anything...even murder.
But the truth matters. Words matter....
Life, matters.
Charlie wasnât just a political voice, he was a man of deep Christian faith. Those of us who followed his work closely knew this. He consistently placed his relationship with Christ at the center of his message. Politics always came second. He believed that America needed not just political reform, but a spiritual revival.
He reminded young people that their value came not from social media or political movements, but from the cross of Christ. He wasnât pointing people to himself or a specific political party, he was pointing them to Jesus.
Thatâs what made him dangerous! Not to society, but to the enemy of truth, the Devil.
Satan doesnât fear politicians. He fears truth-speakers. He fears those who awaken the spiritually asleep. And Charlie was doing exactly that, reaching a generation lost in confusion, calling them back to identity, purpose & hope in Christ.
And because of that, he became a target!!
Do you see it now?
This wasnât just political. This was spiritual. This wasnât about left vs. right. It was about light vs. darkness. A battle not of flesh & blood, but of principalities & powers. The kind of battle thatâs been raging since the beginning of time, now unfolding before our eyes, in the heart of our culture.
Charlie Kirk walked into the lionâs den with courage. He knew what he was up against. And like the prophets before him, like Daniel, like Paul, like Stephen, he did not back down. He wasnât silenced by fear. He didnât trade conviction for applause. He stood in the public square & spoke with clarity, even when it cost him everything.
Could it be that Charlie was more than just a political figure? Could he have been a modern-day prophet, sent to wake up a generation drifting further away from God?
He wasnât preaching comfort. He was preaching repentance! He wasnât stroking egos. He was sounding alarms! He carried the same torch as those who came before him, calling out sin not to shame, but to save!
And for that, the world hated him.
For that, he was killed!
And if you still donât see the gravity of what happened, ask yourself this.
If Jesus returned today, preaching truth, calling for repentance, challenging the moral decay of our times, would we treat Him any differently than Charlie Kirk?
Would we try and cancel Him?
Would we call Him a "Fascist"?
Would we call Him âintolerantâ?
Would we call Him âdangerousâ?
The fact that many would celebrate the death of a truth-speaker should send chills down our spines. Because it reveals just how far weâve drifted. The culture that once crucified Christ for challenging their comfort is alive and well & weâre seeing it play out in real time.
Now is not the time to stay silent. Now is not the time for lukewarm faith or convenient Christianity. Now is the time to examine ourselves.
Ask yourself.
-Have I rejected truth because it made me uncomfortable?
- Have I mocked what I should have honored?
-Have I excused hatred in the name of justice?
-Have I allowed the world to shape my values more than the Word of God?
Because if we donât answer those questions honestly. We will, repeat history.
We must remember. Truth is not hate. Truth is not violence. Truth is not a crime. You donât have to agree with everything someone says to respect their right to say it. Free speech is a God-given right. Not granted by governments but endowed by our Creator & when we begin to punish people for speaking, we are no longer a free people. We become slaves to ideology.
If disagreement becomes a death sentence, then weâve lost more than a man, weâve lost our moral compass.
But there is hope.
Though Charlieâs voice has been silenced on this earth, the message he carried lives on. Because Godâs truth cannot be buried. It doesnât die. It doesnât decay. It echoes through generations. And every time someone stands up to proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, Charlieâs mission continues.
So what now?
Well, now is the time to rise. Now is the time to speak truth, even when itâs costly. Now is the time to love deeply, boldly & fearlessly. Because love without truth is empty & truth without love is harsh, but when both are present, lives are changed.
Let Charlie Kirkâs life & legacy stir something in you. Not hatred. Not fear.
But courage.
Courage to speak. Courage to believe. Courage to follow Christ in a world that may hate you for it.
Because in the end, we donât follow the world. We follow the One who overcame it.
And His name is Jesus.
