There’s only one thing that God has permitted me to speak on, regarding the events that have happened in the last week.

I’m not someone who is very politically active. I was not a long-time follower of Charlie Kirk. But I did see his videos on my feed. I did watch some of his debates, especially the conversations he’d have with people about Christ.

This past week, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. There are a thousand different opinions, and a hundred more angles to look at all those opinions than I have the time or the energy to sort through. But as I was praying this week, and thinking and talking to God about this, one thing really stood out to me in this whole mess.

Charlie Kirk didn’t make one choice that led to his assassination. It’s not like he got up that day and randomly decided to go out and speak about the gospel at that university. It’s not like an angel came down and asked him, “Hey, Charlie. Would you give up your life for Christ today?”

It was a constant, everyday decision that he made. Every single day, he got up and had to decide, “I’m going to speak about the gospel because Jesus is the truth.” Every single day, he chose to live out the calling God put on his life, no matter if people got angry at him, no matter if people made fun of him, no matter if people shouted or raved or spewed hate at him.

Sometimes, giving your life for Christ is a moment.

But there were so many moments before that that we don’t get to see. There are moments when we doubt. Moments where we have to grit our teeth and say, “Yes. I choose God above all else.”

Living for Christ isn’t one choice. Sometimes, giving your life is that moment, it’s that one choice where you face death, and you don’t let it intimidate you. You don’t back down. But more often than not, it’s that small, every single day, type choice. It’s literally giving your life, your whole entire life—every day, every hour, every single second—to live the truth of Jesus.

It’s choosing Jesus even when people look at you weirdly. It’s choosing Jesus even when people could throw hate in your direction. It’s choosing Jesus when you don’t get what you want, or when the things he’s asking you to do seem pointless or strange. It’s choosing Jesus no matter what.

Many of us would give up our lives for Christ. If we were faced with that moment, I know countless people who wouldn’t back down. But this past week got me thinking. Am I giving my everyday to Christ? Am I giving up the things he’s told me to give to him? Am I willing to look weird for him? To be shouted at and hated? Am I willing to give every second, every single breath I breathe, to Jesus?

Am I living for Christ?

Are you?

Usually, I have something free for you guys to grab at the bottom of these articles. Today, I’m going to ask you for something. Would you take a moment and pray for his wife with me? Would you pray for his children? His friends? His enemies?
