If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness. / Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him. / But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:9

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

I love that most of the response I’ve seen to Charlie’s murder is that of love and inspiration. Not vengeful hate or anger. His death will be a springboard for many to aspire to do the same and represent God in this world, being lights in a dark and dying world. Evil takes away life - it always have. But death is already defeated. Charlie knew that and knows it now more than ever. For to live is Christ and to die is gain!

Charlie Kirk’s death makes me want to be a better man. To shine more as a city on a hill.
