Though Charlie Kirk’s Ship Has Sailed His Legacy Endures

Charlie Kirk inspired young people, especially college students, including my grandson who attends Liberty University, to defend their beliefs with clarity and courage. He modeled respectful debate and civil discourse, and his love for family demonstrated his character. Despite his early passing, his legacy endures, motivating young Christians and Conservatives to value free speech and open dialogue.

As Judeo-Christian conservatives grieve the passing of Charlie Kirk in the days ahead, we can rest in the truth that Charlie Kirk talked the talk and walked the walk. He woke up on Wednesday, 10 September and walked onto another campus to have another set of conversations to spread his message. On that vary same day he was walking with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We should all remember the words of Matthew 10:28: Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.” Our lives are short, but Charlie Kirk lived his short life well. May we all do the same for the glory of God, until we likewise see Jesus’ face to face. His death is a loss, but the movement he inspired will endure. His dedication to open debate set an example that young conservatives will continue, defending free speech and the values he stood for. While caution is sensible, avoiding controversy limits growth and impact—the saying, “Ships are safest in the harbor, but that’s not what ships are for,” captures this well.

The miscreant who shot Charlie Kirk and those who celebrated the assassination modeled all that is wrong with a culture that abandons objective truth and consensual morality for a zero-sum battle that cancels and silences disagreement. Kirk, by contrast, will be remembered not only for his passionate commitment to his political and cultural beliefs but also for his sincere desire to reach out to those who disagreed with him, seeking to forge a better future for the common good. He died doing what he loved to do—debating and advancing issues that matter to his Lord and Savior and the nation he sought to serve. It remains essential for public figures to demonstrate integrity and uphold the principles that strengthen civil society. Additionally, it is crucial for individuals across communities to serve responsibly and thoughtfully in times of challenge and uncertainty, fostering understanding and positive engagement.

Let us continue to pray for Ericka Kirk’s resolve as she takes up Charlis’s cause with these words “The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry. To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die. It won’t. I refuse to let that happen. It will become stronger. Bolder. Louder and greater than ever." She announced that Turning Point PUSA’s campus tours and America Fest will continue and grow... There will be even more tours in the years to come... The radio and podcast show he was so proud of will go on.She promised, “I’ll make Turning Point USA the biggest thing this nation has ever seen. It appears the Left leaning, anti-Judeo-Christian, Jihadist ideologues, globalists, collectivists/social democrats have awakened a sleeping giant.
