The assassination of Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA’s co-founder, is not only a tragic loss for America—it is a spiritual turning point. The world is growing darker, and the frenzy, division, and hatred surfacing in response to his death are symptoms of a society increasingly divorced from God.

In moments like these, the first response should not be anger, fear, or retaliation. The Lord calls us to draw near to Him, to resist being consumed by the noise of outrage and political manipulation. Vengeance belongs to God, and it is He who sees and judges all things.

As Scripture reminds us:

Proverbs 15:3 – “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”
Proverbs 15:1 – “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
Philippians 4:4-9 – Rejoice in the Lord, bring your anxieties to Him in prayer, focus on what is true, honorable, just, pure, and commendable—and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds.

Charlie Kirk’s life was a beacon of truth, faith, and courage. He spoke boldly against the darkness in the culture, defended the unborn, championed Israel, and encouraged young Americans to live principled, God-honoring lives. His death is a stark reminder that standing for truth comes at a cost—but also a call to remain steadfast in faith.

In the wake of this tragedy, the world will try to pull us into division, anger, and despair. The voices of the media, social networks, and ideologically-driven groups will exploit grief and outrage for political gain. We must resist the temptation to feed into this chaos. Instead, we are called to shine light in darkness, to love as Jesus loves, and to pray without ceasing.

Let Charlie Kirk’s legacy inspire us not just politically, but spiritually. Let us honor his life by standing firm in truth, walking in righteousness, and living in peace, trusting that God sees the evil and will bring justice in His perfect timing.

America—and the world—needs believers who are unshakable, not reactive. Let us draw near to Jesus, and let His light guide us through these perilous times.
