Few people have had as much political influence as Charlie Kirk. An autodidact as he would say. Kirk certainly was a man who did not believe in the status quo, and believed that it was his duty to move the next generation to think critically about current events, and appealed for rationality and moral absolutes. He stood in the middle of the crowd, as he aimed to awaken those who have been entrapped by the false promises that postmodernism, and Marxism have promoted for decades.

The Christian Worldview

A worldview is a pattern of ideas and beliefs that help us make sense of the world and that guide our decisions and actions. Everyone has a worldview, everyone has a bias, and ultimately what we believe will be applied in the way we think, speak, and act. Marxism, Postmodernism, Secularism, Islam, Christianity, and New Spirituality are the major worldviews that

dominate cultures. Each has a position on what is real, what is true, and what is good and beautiful. Evidently, only one worldview can be correct, due to the fact that a worldview has to pass the test of Rational Consistency, Empirical Adequacy, Explanatory Power, and Practical Relevance. A worldview must be coherent and internally consistent. A worldview must align with observable, verifiable facts. A worldview should

explain the realities of human existence. A worldview must be livable and meet human needs.

Anyone hearing Charlie Kirk for more than a few minutes, could testify that Kirk strived to promote the superiority of the Christian Worldview. That is, only the Christian Worldview passes each of the tests, and none other comes close. His stance on abortion drove many to consider how in the west people have adopted a culture of death, without concern for the most innocent. His opponents would constantly attack his lack of sensibility for women, but he would remind his listeners to think about the dignity and sanctity of human life. In other words, he would challenge people to think beyond the narratives of the moral relativists, and help them consider when human life actually begins, and where do human rights come from.

Outside Absolutes

One of the things that made Kirk stand out as a tho

ught leader was his ability to point people to outside absolutes. Outside absolutes is the antithesis of relativism. Rather than looking at truth from within, he would challenge his critics to consider what makes something morally right, true, and beautiful. Strong feelings and opinions are not a good source of truth, because one can end up affirming something that is not in one accord with reality. For example, no matter how strongly I feel about 2+2=6, is going to change the fact that 2+2=4. Truth has to be true at all times, otherwise it’s not true. For this reason, we must appeal not to ourselves and our feelings, but to look outside ourselves. This is what C.S. Lewis once talked about that produced men without chests.

In the Abolition of Man, Lewis, mentioned that there was this little green book in which two men discussed the beauty of a waterfall. The book asserted that the waterfall was beautiful because it was a projection of what the person felt with

in, so that it was people who assigned beauty. He called that preposterous, because ultimately that which is beautiful is something that is recognized, not something that is assigned. This is the very reason that we can recognize that it is more honorable to lay one’s life for your country, than to desert your allies in battle. The good and the beautiful must therefore be universally good at all times, and universally beautiful at all times.

This does not mean that one cannot have a preference over let’s say vanilla versus chocolate ice cream. But there is an irrevocable truth to the fact that all peoples everywhere can recognize something as simple as murder being wrong.

Every other worldview, except for Christianity, has a very difficult time defending this very simple concept. If morality is relative, then why is murder wrong. Or like postmodernists, who believe that there is no such thing as absolute truth, they struggle to defend it, as they appeal to the cultural norms deciding that it is wrong to murder. The problem is, that if culture decides that murder is wrong, what happens when culture suggests that it is morally right to discard a specific people group? This has happened in the past, and the answer is obvious. Murder is wrong, because there are certain moral laws that exist within natural law, prescriptions that come not from the people, but from outside the people, that are universal, always being true, always being right.

Calling Evil, Evil and Good, Good.

It is true that sometimes Charlie Kirk would ignore, or perhaps give a pass at some of the hypocrisy of the Republican Party. Perhaps this was a fight he could not win. As he aimed to unify people to wake up from Wokeism (the grandchild of Marxism). He found it better to lead people to a political group that could make a difference in our nation. His influence in those between the ages of 18-34 was quintessential for th

e Republican Party to secure the win in the 2024 elections. His cause, bringing common sense back.

A man who called evil, evil, and good, good. He would often state his disagreements with president Trump and the Republican Party. He was not a nationalist, but a true patriot. Someone who saw America as an open exceptional people.

Sadly, We live in a world that celebrates the murder of Charlie Kirk, a champion of truth, and mourns the death of known criminals. How could this be? Where has the world gone? The truth is, this has been the case since our first parents decided to rebel against God. This is not new. But this pain to have lost such a hero, a man who truly won the hearts of so many millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha, by simply going to college campuses and having open discussions. This is devastating. His family, his wife and children, they will never be the same. The tide that Kirk championed won’t die with him.

His murder is a reflection of the shattered morality of every other worldview that believes it is morally right to end the life of those whom we disagree. To remain indifferent, or to say “he had it coming” is to ignore the toxicity which permeates our culture. In the end, his death shows how correct he was, and how incorrect the world is. Ultimately, the world needs Jesus.

Charlie Kirk, well done. You have fought the good fight.

To the Kirk family, though we celebrate his life, I mourn with you.
