Gary Varvel: Charlie Kirk is alive in his heavenly home
Scripture tells us how to defeat death
Turning Point USA founder, Charlie Kirk met his Savior yesterday.
VIDEO - Charlie Kirk explains why he is a follower of Jesus Christ.
Charlie Kirk is more alive today than he’s ever been.
Yes, we saw the video of the moment evil took his life, but 2 Corinthians 5:8 says, “We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.”
How do I know Charlie Kirk is present with the Lord? Because he publicly professed to be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said in Matthew 10:32–33, “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.”
President Trump called Kirk “legendary.” At just 31 years old, Kirk—founder of Turning Point USA—was a courageous conservative with an amazing mind and memory. He effectively changed the hearts and minds of college students around the nation through debate. Unfortunately, evil people cannot handle the truth.
As successful as Kirk’s short life was, his first priority was his faith in Jesus Christ and his love for his wife, Erika, and their two children.
Which raises the question: why would God allow this to happen to one of His followers? I don’t know. But Christians don’t live by answers—we live by promises. And God’s Word promises that death is not the end. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
See? Charlie Kirk is alive—he just went to his eternal home.

EVIL INCREASING?
Does it seem like evil is increasing? Or are we just seeing more of it because of smartphones and social media? I don’t know. I remember the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s.
But I also remember when there was no TSA at the airport—until 9/11/2001 changed that forever.
Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
I think he was speaking to us. Evil requires increased law enforcement. That’s why President Trump called out the National Guard in D.C.
This is what a godless world that needs Jesus looks like.
