When we encounter horrific situations like the Charlie Kirk murder, it naturally makes us (eventually) search for a solution. And many of the solutions being bantered about now on social media channels are political. But politics will not fix this. Only the gospel can fix this.

The solution to evil is not Charlie Kirk’s politics. It’s Charlie Kirk’s Savior.

Jesus changes lives. Individual lives. And collectively, His gospel changes culture and society. Dr. Elmer Towns has referred to this as redemptive lift, and the implications are powerful.

Church planting and growth are the key to promulgating the gospel effectively, and to changing societies, changing nations.

To the pastors, church planters, missionaries, and servants of Christ reading this – what you do matters. More than you know.
