Opus 2025-419: AM and PM

I am not talking about time but Times:  Ante Muerte and Post Muerte.  Although I would not put the murder of Charlie Kirk on the level of the battles of Hastings or Tours, it is going to make a difference.

I am still surprised that I don’t feel rage over the phlegm in the face this represents.  I may feel a bit of anger but my predominate emotion is sadness.  I have a great sadness for his family and what they have lost.  That is enough to demand blood.  I also have a great sadness for the fools who think that the destruction of America will bring in days of dancing in the sprinklers and riding unicorns.  It won’t.  It will bring back the Dark Ages with a vengeance.  What these twinkies don’t understand is that when they are no longer useful idiots the Marxist overlords will send them to the Gulag.  If they are lucky they will just be shot.  They will not be living in the villas on the hill separated from the smelly rabble.  They will become the midden of Marxism.

In a sense I am not sorry for Charlie.  As a believer I know that he has moved on into eternity and God is probably explaining the plan to him.  We have questions, and rightfully so, but we also have faith and confidence in the big picture.  I think that if Charlie could sit down with us now he would be the least surprised at his death.  I think he knew it was inevitable.  I remember listening to one of his meetings at a college as he explained to one of his antagonists that he received death threats all the time.  I think he said there had been two attempts on his life.  He may have hoped God would spare him but he knew there was a target painted on his chest at every rally.  He still continued to serve God and America by going out in joy.

Keep in mind that the goal of terrorism is to get people to stop living their lives and huddle in fear.  They would love it if we were afraid to go out in public.  They would rejoice if we wanted the government to do something.  Pardon the conspiracy theorist in me but I am not sure that the deep state wasn’t involved in this some way.  Those are wins for evil.

What would cause celestial fist bumps from Charlie is if we go out more boldly, stand taller and speak up more powerfully.  If you need a tutorial on how to do that, go watch some of his interactions on college campuses.  I would always express to people how amazed I was at his courtesy and ability to be polite to people who were obviously deficient in truth and ability.  If we need a motto for the morning I would suggest,

(1Pe 3:14-7 NAS77) But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.

Go in grace and peace.  Keep in mind that our hope is not in Charlie but in the Jesus that Charlie served.
