One month ago yesterday, Charlie Kirk was murdered in front of thousands. It was in Utah, USA. The fatal shot in his neck was shown in magazines and newspapers throughout the world. He did not die in obscurity but in plain sight with friends, family fellow-shippers and fellow supporters of his college campus campaigns.
He did not have a college degree or an elite academic education, but was self educated and learnt at the feet of the Cross serving His Master and Lord. Charlie may have been a radical Republican and confident Conservative, politically and theologically, and hated by the woke and woefully ill informed, the scoffers, sceptics, cynics and self righteous social justice warriors, but didn't he engage and speak wonderfully well with authority, conviction, clarity and common sense?
His YouTube debates and responses to aggressive and ignorant opponents are worth watching. Many are now discovering the delights of Charlie's debates.
He shared his faith, his time and his energy in helping college campus students to see truths that they had overlooked and did not wish to consider. Charlie thought that some college degrees and courses were worthless, a waste of time. Charlie had read widely and had a good grasp of facts and inconvenient truths.
It cost him his life. A life that will be remembered, for in death, and he did not die in vain, he still speaks.

Charlie berated the modern gospel, a half gospel without judgment and difficulties. Charlie believed in a hot Gospel of truth as well as grace. He contended that God will punish sinners, and we are all hell deserving sinners apart from amazing grace. Charlie was a witness to the truth of the Gospel, and as a witness he died and was therefore a true martyr. Look at the NT Greek to get it!

It is sad that some people have questioned Charlie Kirk's Christian faith. They have a right to question his politics and his association with the Republicans and those in power. They may be jealous of his success and significant influence. But they have judged him as unChristian and not a true disciple of Christ. However, let us rejoice in Charlie's legacy and how he has helped many folk in their Christian faith, in their walk with the Lord and in their Gospel witness. Charlie has done far, far more good than many of his critics.
