If you go to his Wikipedia page right now, they describe him as a Political Activist. But if you asked Charlie Kirk how he wished to be remembered…he said, “I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.”
I originally titled this, “a brother who had courage to speak the truth” but Charlie Kirk wasn’t my mother’s son. Before 2017, I didn’t know he existed.
And yet…I shed tears for this man. For a lot of us, our unexpected reactions did feel like someone just killed our brother. But why? Allow me to explain.
For those who don’t know, Candace Owens was released from the Daily Wire and the prevailing theory as to why, is because Candace expressed that “Christ is King” and some people think that’s antisemitic.
First off, I want to make it clear that you’re reading the words of a committed Christian. I really do view Jesus as my Lord and Savior and, like a modern-day knight of honor, I strive to obey the words of him and his Apostles to the best of my ability.
Secondly…I have a great deal of respect for Jewish people. The Bible was written by Jews. Some of my heroes like David, Jeremiah, Hannah, and Elijah were all Jewish or Hebrew. Jesus Christ was Jewish from the line of David. When Oct 7th went down, I wrote a passionate essay calling out those who were harassing and persecuting Jewish people in America.
I’m pointing this out because, cutting to the chase…claiming that someone is antisemitic simply because they declare “Christ is King” is a trumped-up charge that’s one-step away from trying to get the person canceled.
