The statistics should terrify every Christian parent: 66 percent of young people who regularly attended Protestant churches as teenagers drop out for at least a year between the ages of 18 and 22. Lifeway Research confirms what pastors have witnessed for decades: 70 to 88 percent of youth from evangelical homes abandon their faith after just one year in secular college. By high school, nearly 30 percent of seniors completely dismiss religion as important to their lives.

This is the spiritual battlefield on which Charlie Kirk planted his flag at just 18 years old. While many churches retreated into entertainment and shallow programming, this young warrior marched onto hostile campuses with an arsenal of biblical truth.

In barely 13 years of public ministry, he built what would become the largest conservative youth organization in America, Turning Point U.S.A., and helped untold numbers of young people recognize that eternal truth, not cultural lies, were the key to creating a life of purpose and joy.

His assassination in Utah last week revealed something the secular world cannot comprehend: Charlie Kirk’s greatest victory was not political but spiritual. He reversed the tide of apostasy by raising a generation unashamed of the Gospel.

The world knew Kirk as a political provocateur. But those with eyes to see recognize his true mission. In a candid 2022 interview, Kirk revealed his heart: “Politics is moments in time… I’m more focused on educational, transformational, multi-decade change.”

This wasn’t campaign rhetoric. It was the battle cry of a man who understood that souls matter more than votes and that worldview transformation precedes political victory.

Moral Relativism and the Justification of Political Violence– legalinsurrection.com

Excerpt:

The shocking recent wave of politically motivated violence reveals the radicalization of the American Left. The moderates have been displaced by hard-core radicals who would stop at nothing to destroy the system. History helps us understand the rationale behind the radical Left’s justification of violence.

As early as the 19^th century, radical leftist ideologues indoctrinated their followers that violence was unavoidable to destroy traditional society and achieve their utopian vision. They believed in moral relativism and repudiated Judeo-Christian ethics and objective morality. They did not perceive human life as unique and inherently valuable and did not consider murder wrong.

One hundred years ago, radical leftist violence resulted in one of the bloodiest terrorist acts in the world, which happened in my native city of Sofia. Members of the communist party received funding from the Soviet Union to assassinate the Bulgarian government and political elite. The first step was to murder a famous general to ensure a large gathering of prominent figures for his funeral in the church of St. Sunday.

The assassins planted a bomb under the roof of the church and placed it in such a way as to target primarily the government officials present at the ceremony. It so happened that the general’s casket needed to be moved from its original location to accommodate the multitude of attendants. This managed to partially block the blast and spare most of the government members. Unfortunately, hundreds of others were killed or severely wounded.
