This afternoon, a Christian husband, father, and advocate was gunned down in broad daylight in front of a large crowd of students gathered to hear him speak. Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative grassroots organization, was murdered for his faith and conviction on American soil by a political assassin.
The shooting occurred on a college campus, which was once the public square of discourse and the free exchange of ideas. But today, we witnessed what happens when the hateful rhetoric of extremists sows division, demonization, and violence.
Early Americans traveled to our country in search of a place where they could freely worship and live out their faith without persecution. They established a framework to protect our most cherished freedoms. Today, those values are under attack. There is a battle for the hearts and minds of the next generation, and for the future of our country. This is not a political battle; it is a spiritual battle, and our nation is in desperate need of restoration that only God can provide.
We grieve this horrific act of violence. Please join Nebraska Family Alliance in praying for Charlie’s wife, his two young children, and his family. Pray for healing and a country united in Christ, courage, and commitment.
A MESSAGE FROM NFA:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:35-37
