In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the line between good and evil has been drawn in blood. Unable to compete in the arena of ideas, the left killed the tip of the intellectual spear, Charlie Kirk, who was piercing the pseudointellectual facade of the socialistic and communist agenda that has been poisoning the impressionable youth of the United States of America.

What the left didn’t expect was attrition from its own ranks because of the demented glee and affirmation expressed by leftist influencers, condoning the political assassination of the biggest threat to their agenda. Charlie Kirk didn’t wage war with weapons of destruction, but with the much more effective arsenal of common sense, open debate, love, and compassion.

Charlie Kirk’s influence was felt worldwide, and the outpouring of grief and mourning evidenced the positive effect of his life’s work of engaging anyone, especially college-age youth, in the arena of open debate.

Charlie shared his love and devotion to Jesus Christ at every opportunity, not insisting anyone change their belief, but using persuasive words to show the logical reason why faith in Jesus Christ is morally superior to the system of this fallen world. He set the example for all of us to follow who claim Jesus Christ as our Savior.

The left hasn’t silenced Charlie Kirk. Instead, his message has been unleashed through the voices of millions of young and old alike. Jesus Christ will be victorious, and death is powerless to stop Him. Charlie Kirk has joined the elite list of martyrs. His example has paved the path for millions of faithful believers and converts to share their faith in Jesus Christ boldly.

I cannot do much. But what I can do, I will do. Jesus Christ is King. There is no salvation except through Him. Jesus created the path of salvation. Charie Kirk followed that path and lit the way for those who follow.

Never give up. Never surrender. Press forward, even when it seems impossible. Remember that there are more for us than there are with the enemy. Jesus Christ is King of kings, and Lord of all.
