LET’S TALK ABOUT AMERICA TODAY

About this sermon

I have now lived through the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the 1968 Democratic presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Sr. I remember sitting down on the floor in our home as a 2nd grade little boy, watching President Kennedy’s funeral on a black and white television. Additionally, I remember when the Vietnam War was finally over on April 30, 1975. Furthermore, I have lived through 9/11, which happened twenty-four years ago. I have also lived through a global pandemic. While I can say these were all significant events and even generational moments, what happened on the campus of Utah State University on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, is unprecedented, and its impact remains profound and seems endless. Who would have ever thought that a 22-year-old man would take a rifle onto the roof of a nearby building and brutally assassinate a 31-year-old man named Charlie Kirk? Charlie was on that campus to do what he does all over America, leading a dialogue with university students with the sole desire to impact their lives to make America stronger and greater in the future. With respect for every person, he was always honest with others but valued them personally and treated them with grace. However, Charlie Kirk’s unique approach was that he believed in the Bible, and his views came from a biblical worldview. The questions are many today. Did this horrendous event occur because of Political Violence? Or did it happen because of Charlie Kirk’s unashamed and courageous commitment to Jesus Christ? Personally, I see that both are true. But I also see something more profound: spiritual warfare, which is undeniable. Evil is alive all over America and the world. This evil deception is everywhere, including the online world, where so many evil things are occurring that lead to destruction and even death. Wake up, everyone! Satan and his demonic forces are alive and causing chaos, destruction, division, and even death. On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was a target, not only of an assassin’s bullet, but also a target of this enemy called Satan. #charliekirk #america #jesus
