Charlie Kirk was possessed by eternal priorities
How do you want to be remembered?
For the late Charlie Kirk, 31 year-old founder of Turning Point USA movement, he said, for his courage in following his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The left-wing media mislabeled him, defining him as a right-wing, conservative activist. That's not how he will be remembered.
It was Charlie's courage and faith in Jesus that took him to his last college campus to engage in healthy discussion and debate on conservative values with his generation. It's what led to his untimely demise from this earth and now forever absent from his wonderful wife and two young children. Stop right now and pray for his family and for those tasked with selecting a new leader for this great movement.
My son Eric and I talk almost every day on his way to work. I challenged him this morning during our talk to ask, "How do I want to be remembered?"
I push back against the many ways people live so as to be remembered when they die, such as:
-the amount of money in the bank,
-the accumulation of nice homes, cars, and things,
-the positions they hold at work or in their community,
-life's failures.
I wonder if the second person Charlie Kirk saw in heaven (the first being his great HEALER Jesus) was Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Did MLK seek him out and greet him? They both shared a common purpose on earth and shared a common death, untimely assassination. What did they say to each other?
I will not give in to the nihilists in our culture. I will continue to believe in a bright future for myself, my country, and my world that is rooted in the sovereignty of my loving heavenly father and the eternal life he offers through the death and resurrection of his son, Jesus Christ.
Make the best of today, friends!
