Charlie Kirk was a prophet in every sense of the word. A true prophet speaks the truth of God to the specific sacred sins of the day with absolute moral clarity. And if they are effective, they are often killed for their words.

Sometimes a prophet can predict the future, not because of a special revelation, but because they are so equipped with understanding by the Spirit of God that they just know what is coming.

Over the past two decades, I have often been dismayed and discouraged by the compromises coming from once trusted evangelical pastors, churches, colleges and other organizations. Even faithful Christians often speak in semi-coded lanaguage when broaching moral topics that our culture has labeled ‘political’. But these serious issues of moral rot will not dissipate under a nuanced response any more than cancer will go away with Tylenol. Charlie Kirk stood against these sheltered sins of our society with moral clarity that was so refreshing. He spoke clearly about abortion, transgenderism, homosexuality, communism, socialism, the history of America and the historical truth of the Bible. He loved those who disagreed with him and put his life on the line to bring others into the freedom of living in Christ. May God raise up thousands in his place who will testify to the truth with bold confidence. This world can take nothing that God will not restore a thousand times over.

Hebrews 11:36-38

Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. They were stoned, they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword…the world was not worthy of them.
