Charlie Kirk & Murderous Lies

Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr. He is the victim of both an assassin’s bullet, and the malicious lies which many are using to justify his murder.

We need to understand the nature and purpose of malicious lies, because they are the primary weapon of our Enemy to silence the truth, and justify violence
against those who speak it.

 We need to understand the conflict we are in, and the tactics of our enemy.

 We wage a war with cosmic forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12).

The primary weapon of our enemy is lies.

 And the purpose of lies is always violence.

These strategies flow from his very nature, as a liar and murderer (cf. John 8:44).

If the truth cannot be disputed, it is discredited.

If it cannot be discredited, it must be destroyed.

Make no mistake: Charlie Kirk was not murdered because of anything wrong that he did or said, but the opposite: he was murdered because he told the
indisputable truth.

In order to justify the murder of an innocent father and husband, all kinds of false accusations must be made; racist, fascist, bigot, etc.

False accusations are the primary weapon of our enemy. They are a form of lie, and a malicious attempt to frame the innocent as guilty, in order to justify harming them.

As one commentator said this week, ‘they don’t murder you because you are a Nazi; they call you a Nazi so they can murder you’.

This tactic has been employed by the wicked since the dawn of time, which makes our gullibility and ignorance of this strategy so damning.

Even our Lord, the sinless son of God, was maligned as a ‘glutton and drunkard’ (Matt11:19) because he associated with those considered ‘outside’ respectable
society. His enemies falsely accused him of all kinds of evil, including sedition (John 19:12), in order to have him murdered. Even though they knew their
accusations were lies.

Solzhenitsyn makes the similar observation about the dark absurdity of the communist regime accusing citizens of crimes they knew they didn’t commit, and requiring them to sign confession statements that they themselves had written.

Why would someone do this?

The reason is, they wanted to condemn the innocent with lies. They wanted to justify their violence.

It is a total inversion of truth and justice, which is why God forbids it (Exodus
20:16), and actually tells us He hates it (Proverbs 6:19).

We need to take a long look in the mirror of our soul, to consider whether we have contributed to the kind of public discourse and society where Charlie Kirk was brutally and savagely slaughtered for simply having conversations.

Did we cow before false accusations when we were called ‘intolerant’, simply for
holding to basic truths? Did we censor ourselves when those accusations become that we are ‘bigots’? Did we sign the HR policy at work, which stated that we are devotees of the woke religion and their DEI lies, all to avoid false
accusations?

If so, we allowed for lies and false accusations to work.

We need to resolve now, in honour of our brother and the good of our world, to
never again surrender to lies.

To never again be shamed into silence by false accusations.

To never again give one single inch to words with murderous intent.

This is how we resist evil, and do good.

With you,
