CHARLIE KIRK, YOU WEREN’T PROVED WRONG

Contact Your Elected Officials

Two things moved me when I saw the 9/10 photos. One was that Charlie Kirk was shot while wearing a simple white t-shirt that read “FREEDOM”. Another is that he wasn’t proved wrong, even with a fatal bullet.

Of the many homemade signs and posters that have been photographed during the memorial gatherings following Kirk’s murder, there’s one in particular that’s a fitting tribute: “You offered conversation. They responded with violence. But heaven is your reward! Fly high, Charlie Kirk.”

I first heard about the murder of Charlie Kirk the day after it happened. The news was exploding with the story then, and it still is. 

I wasn’t familiar with Kirk and his work until now. While I had previously visited the Turning Point USA website a few times, I’d only heard Kirk speak on the Glenn Beck radio program. When I googled him last Thursday, however, I recognized his face immediately from various news and media items I’d seen over the years.

After researching more about his beliefs and what he stood for, I quickly came to admire his refreshing common sense and boldness. (I think everyone is equating his name with boldness now.) It’s difficult to find respectable and respectful people to look up to these days, yet Charlie Kirk was that. He said the hard things that needed to be said.

I’m saddened that this young, energetic leader, who was a great encouragement to the younger American generation (which is my generation) to get more involved with their nation, is now gone. I’m praying for his wife. I’m also praying for God to save the soul of Tyler Robinson.

The good in this story is that Charlie Kirk was a Christian and is now in heaven. To me, it’s inspiring that even after death, his life is living on more forcefully than ever. People who’ve never heard of Kirk now want to know who he was. Just try the letter “C” in the Google, Yahoo, or AOL search engine, and his name pops up immediately after ChatGPT. This means a lot. If people are willing to take the time to look into what happened, then it will follow that they’ll want to know what Kirk stood for, and that’s a great thing.

As Scripture says, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” Kirk is gone, but he will live on in many ways. Some things just can’t be taken away. A memory cannot be assassinated. A legacy can’t be snuffed out. Ideals and beliefs can’t be killed.

“I want to be remembered for courage for my faith,” Kirk had said in a podcast merely two months ago. May his courage spur us to be bolder in our faith.

No, Charlie . . . you weren’t proved wrong.
