I saw where there is a website that will give you the names of people who put something on Facebook or one of the other public sites that was negative toward Charlie Kirk and information about them, so that people could work at causing them to be fired from their jobs or lose business in their businesses. My goal with every person in my life who is not a believer in Jesus is to influence them towards faith in Christ. I don’t think making them pay for saying negative things about Charlie Kirk would do that. It doesn’t seem like a method that Jesus would approve of in my life. It would certainly feel good, because my flesh is drawn to vengeance, but I don’t want my flesh to control my life or my behavior. In Romans 12:2, the Apostle Paul says, “don’t be conformed to this world.” That means that the world’s way of doing things should not be the standard I follow. My flesh will pull me into the ditch if I allow it to, the world will try to influence me to live the way they do, and the devil will continually tempt me to be unloving to people. I desire to do only what Jesus would be pleased with. I fail at that, but I am getting better at following Jesus’ will.

At what point is this information important just to protect ourselves and family. My example MOST Christians with kids at least consider home school or private school because just look some of the awful things being said were by public school teachers. I would not want my kid to spend 1hr+ everyday with a person that celebrated the assassination of a 31 yr old husband and father.

I have been thinking a lot about this lately. Yes there has been a lot of extreme reaction following Charlie’s murder. And then a lot of extreme reaction about the extreme reaction. And i wonder where that cycle of reaction ends; if it ever does. After much contemplation I have decided to not to participate in that cycle. I don’t see any benefit to doing that and I don’t think it glorifies God or spreads the gospel. It only clarifies that there really is no difference between the world and me other than God chose to save me. And I would much rather talk to people about that. Then when they get mad at me, I know it really, truly isn’t anything I’ve done and they truly aren’t mad at me and have no justification for their anger. I like being in that place. It looks and feels like a righteous place to be. I really want to hear God say to me, “Well done!” and this seems like the right path for that.
