They lost

We already know how it ends.

And begins.

And it being easy was never part of the story.

This is the turning point. While 15% of the country will spew dark hateful comments, majority of America is coming together

I feel it too. I never even followed him that closely just casually but this one hurts more than any death I can remember

If anything can spark a revival of faith in America this is it

It’s easy to say “we know who wins in the end”

Is it?

That alone makes you the target of scorn, ridicule, and in Charlie's case worse.

I needed this . Well said and spoken. I’ve been struggling, and asking myself how can God allow this to happen to such a talented , smart, charismatic, man. We never know, what is in store for any of us, on any given day, but God has a plan for everyone and he called Charlie home for a greater cause. RIP Charlie Kirk .

It’s easy to say “we know who wins in the end” and I wholeheartedly agree Jesus will come back and reign but that’s not comforting to me right now. It’s hard to see the uprising in evil and the direction the world and America is heading. How am I suppose to raise a family and kids the right way when the other side hates me, my beliefs, and will kill me over it? I agreed with everything Charlie stood for. America will only continue to divide itself until Jesus returns.

The only answer is in absolute faith in the promises He provides. The hardest part of that is that the Promises do not guarantee us or those we love peace, safety or avoidance of pain in any way in this life. The Gift that the Grace He provides is in Heaven and for Eternity. So, you raise them to value their faith above everything else in this world. Teach it, Pray it, Share it with everyone you possibly can, teach them to do the same. Love, Forgive even in the moments that our human brain tell us to do anything but. Just live and act on The Word. If we know it to be the Absolute Truth, It is the only way to walk in this world. The more we do that, the more we are in touch with the Holy Spirit inside of us and the better our worldly life is because in All things, we, as you said, know the outcome.

I would also add from the worldly perspective on raising kids, protect them, at all costs, from these things that we know are Satan's greatest tools. I do not care what level of uncool it makes my kids, they absolutely WILL NOT have unfettered internet access for any reason while they are growing. They will not have easy access to music, games and other entertainment that will warp their growing minds. I am going to Sheppard them in a way that gives them a better opportunity to walk in the pastures that will allow them to grow their own faith and not grow thier minds to match this evil world. I understand how insanely hard this is going to be, but it is the most important fight of my life as the head of my household.

I get it, by no means am I just blanketing a sunshine pump over all the evil that occurs every single day and life won’t be hard as crap. I’m still shook and probably think about what happened literally every 5 minutes.

It was just really encouraging to me to see such a passionate response by a large group of men and it help me turn a lot of grief, confusion, sorrow and anger into Hope that many Good men are in this Country and I believe a spark has been lit.

call me crazy all you want but I think this is much closer than anyone thinks

I mean, Butler was just over a year ago. My gut feeling is that had Trump died, it would be more significant than this. But he didn't.

This is the biggest moment since 9/11. 9/10 - They answered Charlie's words with bullets.

It likely temporary.

For many it will be. We are all, hand raised highest of any, far too buried in the idols of this world to truly work on and develop a true burning relationship with our Creator that creates a Burning Fire for action in the way the Kirk did.

I spent more than 40 years hurtling head-long down the wrong path and was nearly completely broken before I allowed God's Grace to save and redirect me. I am still a broken sinner that falls remarkably short of the man that God would have me be daily. However, despite vast shortcomings, I am truly working on sanctification.

In this moment, it feels like our charge is to recognize what you said, that for many this will be a temporary reprieve and help them to remember when they begin to fall back into the world.

The more of us that can take hold of His Word, walk it, live it, share it, teach it, the more it will take hold. That is what Charlie was doing and what I think we should do much more of in our communities if we are to truly honor his legacy.
