Why does Trump always have to be Trump? I don't think the man can help himself. It's who he is in all his brokenness and all his flaws. At least he's consistent.
Charlie Kirk was who Charlie Kirk was too. Everyone who spoke of him weren't speaking of someone I didn't know. They spoke of someone I knew, the same way I knew him. Consistency speaks to his genuineness and authenticity.
It's pretty amazing to think Charlie Kirk spoke to people at the highest levels of government on cell phone. On a first name basis. A 31 year old guy on a crusade for Christ having influence at the highest levels of government. Many people in Trumps cabinet spoke at the funeral: Ben Carson, Stephen Miller, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, Robert Kennedy, Donald Trump. A 31 year old guy with that much influence in our culture.
It's pretty amazing to think Charlie Kirk had a televised funeral that was viewed throughout the world. He wasn't famous. He wasn't a government official, wasn't a celebrity or athlete. Pretty amazing to think people around the world are mourning the loss of a celebrated American patriot and a man living his life to glorify God as he understood.
Erika Kirk said Charlie prioritized bringing young man to Jesus so they could know the truth that he knew and I know. Even as her heart is broken, she said she forgives Tyler Robinson. What if Tyler Robinson's life is spared under our justice system? Could Robinson come to know Jesus has is Lord and Savior? Wouldn't that be something? Would that be a miracle?
Donald Trump said something that was most profound. Although the bullet was pointed at him, it was aimed at all of us. My mind was blown.
My wife and I were briefly discussing Charlie Kirk and some of the things he said. My wife considers some of what he said to be hateful. My question is was it? I guess it begs the question of what is truth. When CK was speaking of alphabet people being under mentally ill. Or being subject of evilness in the world. Is that truth? Is it hateful? Are they different? Are they the same?
It is interesting... the church I grew up in took a vote to leave the evangelical lutheran church in American. The vote passed. One of those at the church meeting was speaking about the evilness of transgenderism and children doing irreversible damage to their bodies to have their body parts cut off and or mutilated and was deeply concerned about the ELCA's endorsement of the alphabet agenda. God says to love your neighbor as yourself. Even those you don't like. Do alphabet people really believe their soul was put in the wrong body and it needs to be changed to match the individual's truth? What about the truth? Not your truth. Not a truth. The TRUTH.
Was CK speaking out against the demons that walk among us? The evil in the world? Or the deception the enemy uses to manipulate us? To damage God's children? What about homosexuality? The traditional form of marriage being God's design? I don't know.
I used think think religion was put in place to control the population. To put bumper guards up to keep us on a straighter and narrow path. The older I get and when I am closest to God, I lnow there is an eternal truth. A great design by our creator. Or is it all random and we're really a bunch of evolved monkeys?
Is it a universal principle that like attracts like? A scientific principle that opposites attract? Does it depend on the circumstance?
I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me. Is Islam the way the truth and the life? Are they the same? Are they different?
Impossible to reconcile in my mind the questions that I ask. That's not true. And here is what I've come up with. It is no longer a question of left vs right, conservative vs liberal, democrat vs republican, light vs dark. It is a question of good vs evil. It is spiritual warfare. And I know - beyond the shadow of a doubt there is biblical and spiritual truth. Walking with the Lord God almighty is the only way to live.
