CHARLIE KIRK
This is difficult to even write: we lost an extraordinary human-being and patriot today, who was murdered by an assassin's bullet. But Charlie's legacy will never, ever be silence. He touched and influenced not a few or a few thousand, but hundreds of thousands.
I knew Charlie well over many years. We were together during Salem radio KRLA events in LA, I had him on TV and radio, I attended a few of his TPUSA events, he was a fan of my books, etc. He was a delight. Always curious. Happy. Joyous. Social. Articulate. Brilliant. Strategic. And much more. Charlie and I would text from time to time about all things. When we had a disagreement, which was very rare, he always circled back and wanted to make sure we were all good. Of course, we always were. Charlie was always civil and kind. He even thanked me for doing things for him that, in my mind, were no big deal and most of which I did not recall, but to Charlie it deserved a mention.
I must confess. I am not only deeply sad but angry as hell. A political assassin, a coward, murdered my friend, our friend, a national treasure. He also attacked our republic, our civil liberties, our humanity, and I am furious. President Trump was nearly murdered by an assassin. Not once but twice. Damn it! I am pissed off!
I know we all feel truly sick about this. My wife, Julie, who interacted with Charlie even more than I, and I are devastated like all of you. This is a dark and grave day. I cannot imagine the grief his wife and children and all his family, and his TPUSA family, are experiencing. God bless them, help them, and protect them. And to all who admire Charlie, especially the young people in our high schools, colleges, and beyond, continue to follow in his footsteps. That's the greatest honor you can show him, and we need your help to save our country. Learn from the life he lived, as short as it was. It was extraordinary.
In order for anyone to walk in obedience to the Lord, He must first change your heart.
Christianity is not about becoming a better you. It’s about becoming a new you. A new creation.
Happy Easter! Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26). #Easter#HeIsRisen
Our @MattNorlander sat down with Reed Sheppard and his family to discuss his path to UK and how he learned so much from "Mama."

Why did God choose a teen named Mary to be the mother of the Messiah?
God could have chosen someone from Rome to bear the Messiah. After all, Rome was ruling most of the world at that time.
God could have chosen someone from Jerusalem, the spiritual capital of the world.
Or, God could have chosen someone from Athens, the intellectual and cultural capital of the world.
But God didn’t choose someone from any of these places. Instead, He chose a young woman who was living in Nazareth.
Roman soldiers overran Nazareth, an obscure place known for its wickedness. That is why Nathanael, when he heard that Jesus was from Nazareth, said, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” (John 1:46 NLT).
Yet God chose Mary and this obscure place to accomplish His purpose. He chose an unknown teenager living in an unknown place to bring about the most known event in human history: the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
