A Tribute to Charlie Kirk, by Tina Gregory, BCRP Vice-Chair
Charlie Kirk 31 years old; gave his life 9-10-25. Leaving a world that will be forever changed. He understood the challenges he faced – yet stepped out in the public square. O how we lift up Charlie’s wife, 2 childern, family, turning point & our nation. He was a great example of discussion, debate & truth. Talking it all out! NOT HATE! He used words to awaken our youth. Reminding us that when we stop talking that’s when hate begins. His words & actions awakened hearts around the world. He wouldn’t have wanted us to act out in anger & revenge. We can’t quit either. We need to stand on our free speech that he so stood for. The gift he shared needs to live on. We can’t be afraid to share the TRUTH in the public. It’s hard not getting distracted & angry. Hatred isn’t new. We have an opportunity to continue on his legacy. Fill the gap while receiving the torch he passed on.
We lost a friend & brother in CHRIST. We need to keep our focus on what GOD is doing. Our freedom & kindness needs to be celebrated. Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us of a proclamation his church follows. We can use it as a declaration of intent that is taken from the scriptures. We know not all will go with us. We recognize the journey is long & there is a price to pay. We are aware of an adversary. We wrestle with inconsistency of our own hearts. We see many temptations. We weep for the pain & suffering around us. Our plans are made. Our courses charted. Our heart is fixed. The one who promised is Faithful. The one who called us will deliver us to our destination. The author of our faith is also the completer of our story. HIS strength is sufficient. HIS wisdom is transcendent. HIS watchfulness is flawless. HIS presence is permanent. HIS joy is our strength. WE WIL NOT STOP!
In today’s shock, we need to stand on HIS Word. The power of GOD is stronger than the evil around us. We can’t be distracted. GOD is with us! We can’t negotiate with evil. The revolution to evil is TRUTH. Charlie’s love for our LORD & our youth can live on. He touched millions of lives. GOD will never leave us. HE will equip us & lead us. Our friend Charlie stepped out of time. He taught us how to stand in love & Truth. Every one of us will step out of time. It’s so important that we stand on Truth & love like our friend Charlie. We will never out think evil; yet the power of GOD will lead us. Our faith has to be generated in our homes & churches so we can share it with our nation. We so grieve our friend Charlie.
Thank you Charlie. You’re an American Hero. A true disciple of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. We deeply grieve the loss of our friend & true leader. Our continued prayers will go out to your family & the movement you started; Turning Point USA..
ODE to Charlie Kirk , Anonymous
We hit our knees. We bowed our heads.
We prayed unto God through the tears we shed.
The God of miracles did not agree with us this time.
Taken so young to open our minds of the evil times.
He opened minds, he opened hearts.
Captured souls of American Christian hearts.
Half mast souls and half mast flags, we rise this morning.
Hearts and souls so heavy with mourning. God has a purpose. God has a plan.
Now is the time for us to Stand again.
He spoke The truth. He spoke the facts. He spoke boldly. He will be remembered for that.
Charlie Kirk lit a torch for the brethren throughout the world.
The body of Christ has been wounded.
The Lion of Judah is now AWAKE.
Rise up.
Pick it up your torch.
Put on your Armor.
Onward we march to Victory.
Let God’s light so shine forevermore!
