Charlie Kirk, the Joyful Warrior of Truth

My Pondering

It’s impossible to beat God at His own game called Life for He rules over this physical life and also eternal life. He is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.

God no doubt works in mysterious ways for his ways or higher and different than ours. There are times when He works in ways that are impossible for us to comprehend in our current state.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so My ways are higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:9

Ultimately, our faith has a firm foundation however there are times when it requires us to trust Him unequivocably.

Our Enemy

satan and his evil minions are still at work. For some reason, God permits their presence in our world. It’s for His glory and our free will that He permits evil to exist. Since the near the beginning of time when Cane killed Abel with a rock, people have been killing each other and Satan has been deceiving and messing with people minds in regard to what is just and right.

Case in point is Charles assassin.

According to court documents, Tyler Robinson’s parents said that they asked their son why he shot Charlie Kirk, to which he replied, “there is too much evil and the guy spreads too much hate.”

The Bible tells us, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” (Isaiah 5:20). Jesus Himself calls Satan “a murderer from the beginning … and the father of lies” (John 8:44).

We live in a world that is warped by sin, and so many people are deceived. Let me be clear—speaking what the Bible says is not hate. Charlie Kirk wasn’t hating anyone when he answered question after question on campus after campus with truth from the Word of God. Life-altering, soul-saving truth that hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. Who spewed hate? The shooter. All Charlie Kirk did was love his Lord Jesus Christ and love young people enough to give them the truth, even about hard subjects like gender, marriage, abortion, and much more.

Franklin Graham

The Ultimate War

Charlie was killed not because he spoke hate or mistruth rather it’s because hateful people did not like his words of truth. He had a proper balance of speaking truth in love; a sad fact that some people just can’t handle the truth because it’s contrary to their perverted lifestyles.

The ultimate war is not a physical one, but one that’s invisible for read:

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 6:12

In this regard, Charlie was a mighty crusader for truth particularly on behalf of our youth.

A Mighty Martyr

Charlie Kirk died as a mighty martyr in front of the whole world, doing his thing. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ also was killed publicly without just cause as well as 11 out of 12 of Christ’s disciples.

Make no mistake, Charlie is with our dear Lord and Savior in heaven, with the crown of glory given unto Jesus Christ, who was the ultimate martyr and it’s by his blood, we are saved, which Charlie knew full well.

as God used the old rugged cross of death for His glory and the well-being of mankind, be assured, He will not waste this opportunity to further His kingdom for the good of believers across the world.

Charles organization Turning Point USA had 1100 high school groups and 900 college groups prior to his death. Less than a week later, they have received over 50,000 applications for new groups. No doubt Charlie’s name recognition and his cause are greater now than ever, and most importantly that of Jesus Christ.

if you haven’t seen his wife’s Erica Kirk’s speech less than 48 hours after her husband killing, it’s powerful and a must watch.

This singer nailed it on this song:

Superman’s making

“Superman was born from heartbreak—not just imagination.” 💔🦸‍♂️

In 1932, when I was just a teenager, my father was killed during a robbery at his small clothing store in Cleveland. There were no superpowers. No capes. No one came to save him. That tragedy left a mark on my soul.

Soon after, I began writing about a different kind of man—one who could stop bullets. Who could protect the innocent. A man of strength and justice who stood for what I wished the world had more of. That’s when Superman took shape in my mind.

But creating him wasn’t the hardest part.

For years, Joe Shuster and I poured our hearts into bringing Superman to life. We faced rejection after rejection. Editors laughed at the idea of “an alien in tights.” We scraped together pennies to afford stamps and envelopes to keep sending out our pitch.

When someone finally said yes, they paid us $130. That was it. We unknowingly signed away all rights to Superman. The world got a hero. We got a receipt.

As Superman soared, we struggled. Joe and I could barely pay rent. Depression crept in. Decades passed as we fought for recognition—battling for credit, for dignity, for survival.

Only in the 1970s, after public outcry and industry pressure, did DC Comics agree to provide a modest pension and begin giving us credit. But by then, Joe was nearly blind… and nearly forgotten.

Behind the hero’s cape was our quiet tragedy.

People saw Superman. Few saw the young men who created him out of pain and hope. But maybe that’s the real heart of heroism: not just flying high, but enduring the lows no one sees.

My Pondering

This is a great example of how ‘purpose’ often leads to success more than the desire for money. The money is important but it should be secondary as to what prompts people do great things. – Kirk

Slavery (and abortion) -Abraham Lincoln

My Pondering

In the 1700’s (18th Century) – Independence as a country; the rights of Americans.

In the 1800’s (19th Century) – Independence a person from indentured slavery; the rights of slaves to be free.

In the 1900’s (20th Century) – Independence from discrimination; the rights of women to vote and the African-American to be equal.

In the 2000’s (21st Century) – Independence from abortion; the rights of the pre-born.

The left wing of the nut

My Pondering

Except for one big problem with this nut, the left wing Dems broke this apart when they started disrespecting God along with many of the principles our country was founded upon such abolishing public prayer in public school (honoring our Creator as ‘In God we trust’) and making abortion a common thing (innocent until proven guilty). Our current Mayor of Indianapolis is campaigning on a women’s right to kill her pre-born while Hogsett has zero power over that in the first place. They just divide and leverage problems for their political benefit. They kill the the innocent and hardly punish the guilty criminals.

Nowadays, they are stripping God from almost everything they can and replacing Him with big government to the rescue, oxymoronic pronouns, and blowing apart the nuclear family and on and on to nausea.

Heck, half the Republicans are complicit too. So it’s far from the same. They are like the old blue-dog dems or further left of them.

We are divided as we have ever been and it’s not because the right wing has moved.
