Charlie Kirk became a martyr today. He died for his faith, fighting for family and religious liberties.

Charlie was a recognized voice for many reasons, but I believe he was widely known because he REFUSED to stop speaking the truth. He REFUSED to call darkness light. He REFUSED to give into the gods of our day (you know the ones I’m talking about).

If you think it was coincidental where he was injured… think again. The videos shared across the internet show us exactly where our real Enemy is aiming.

The Enemy is going for the throat. He’s after the voices of those who are brave enough to speak.

Charlie fought for the next generation to have the scales fall from their eyes and truly see that it is impossible for light to mingle with darkness.

The question now becomes. Who will pick up his mantle? Who will the Lord raise up as a voice to this next generation? Who will speak the Truth?

This is a true turning point.

Paul’s words to Timothy echo in my heart today.

“Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” – 2 Timothy 4:2-8

Charlie Kirk became a martyr today. We are heartbroken. We will grieve. We will lament. But we will not be silenced.
