On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk, a MAGA political activist, founder of Turning Point, USA, husband and father, was killed in what most people are calling a politically-motivated act.At this point we don't know the motives of the killer, but we can know the motives of our own hearts, and so it's time for us to reflect on whether or not we are loving our enemies the way our King would have us do.
