The political assassination of Charlie Kirk was not only intended to silence a conservative political influencer, but it was meant to silence conservative political leaders and millions of conservative young people across America.

Charlie Kirk was a man of consequence, one who will be long remembered. He bravely promoted the conservative principles of freedom of speech, free markets, and limited government, as his website makes clear. He believed conservative political principles conserve God’s great gifts to human beings, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Importantly, Charlie Kirk became a believer in and defender of the Christian faith. Realizing that God created all men and women in His image and that without God, order, freedom, and human flourishing are not possible.

Charlie Kirk was unafraid to take his beliefs into the public arena. He inspired many young people with the courage to stand up for their beliefs, even when it’s hard. May we never forget his example and determination to make the truth known.
