Charlie Kirk was a self educated man who created an organization that advocates for
conservative politics on high school and college campuses. He was one of the most skilled and
effective communicators of our generation. Above all, he was a Christian man who used a
biblical worldview to try and convince people that God loved them and nobody was beyond
hope. This week, most people now know that he was murdered for his faith in Jesus. Some
may say that he was killed for political reasons, and maybe that is somewhat true, but at the

end

of the day he was martyred for his faith in God.

I often think about the heroes in the bible that were so courageous when faced with certain
death situations. I think of Daniel, David, Paul, almost every one of the apostles who either died
or were threatened with dying in the most brutal of ways and how they handled it with such
courage and boldness. Charlie Kirk’s death reminded me that there are still people today with
that same willingness to endure great hardships and even death for their belief in Jesus Christ.
I hope that when we hear the stories of people around the world in China and North Korea and
many other countries that give their lives for an eternal reward that it inspires us as well to be
strong and courageous for God. We may not ever have a situation that will test our faith to the
point of death. I honestly hope we never do, but I do hope that in every situation that presents
us with a challenge to testify to our belief in Jesus whether big or small, that we show courage
and possibly inspire others to give their lives to the only Martyr that can give us all eternal

peace.
