Billy Davis, the associate editor of American Family Network, wrote the following: "There is a stark difference between the 95,000 people who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s life at State Farm Stadium and the people who happily celebrated his death."
He continues with an article that profoundly marks the difference between politics and biblical faith.
I read it twice and decided there is no way I can adequately summarize his comments.
Let me share his words.
Be informed, not misled.
The following was published by American Family Network on September 29, 2025. It was written by Billy Davis, the associate editor of American Family Network.
If you haven’t watched the moving, beautiful worship music from Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, you need to go watch it online.
Well, read this article first. Then go sing and worship with the crowd, estimated at 95,000, who gathered after a horrific murder to sing loudly with joy on their faces and hands lifted high.
Here's an example of how the memorial service moved hearts and freed souls. It's an X post by Tim Allen, the actor/comedian. In something like a confession, he wrote he had never forgiven the man who killed his father. That happened back in 1964, when Tim was 11 years old, and a drunk driver took the life of Gerald Dick.
“I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad,” he wrote on X.
What moved Tim Allen to admit that, and to share it, was Erika Kirk forgiving Tyler Robinson, the young man suspected of taking the life of her husband and the father of their children. “That man….that young man…I forgive him,” she said from the stage.
“I forgive the man who killed my father,” Tim Allen wrote, finally freeing himself from six decades of hate and anger that hid behind silly jokes and one-liners.
Tim Allen’s X post, which has surpassed 12 million views, is full of replies that are just as wonderful and uplifting as his soul-freeing confession. You should go read those, too.
From worship music praising Jesus to a widow forgiving her husband’s killer, imagine the confusion among the modern-day Democratic Party. At the DNC headquarters, it was probably like Jane Goodall studying those Tanzanian chimps.
“Why do they look so…happy?”
"Why haven't they set anything on fire yet?"
“Quick, ask ChatGPT how you run out of a grave. We might need to know that for the midterms.”
There is a stark difference between the 95,000 people who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s life at State Farm Stadium and the people who happily celebrated his death. The difference is hope, or, to be more exact, where your hope lies.
"If you need hope, if you need joy, if you need life," musician Brandon Lake told the crowd, "He's a God of resurrection power."
Charlie's ultimate hope was in Jesus, not the Republican Party he passionately supported. Compare that belief system to today’s Democratic Party, where government is their god. According to their belief system, this god should be worshipped in the spirit of taxing the rich and in the truth of whatever MSNBC says that is in accord with today’s talking points from the Democratic National Committee.
That is why, when the Department of Education is shuttered, and climate change grants are cancelled, Democrats believe America’s children will lose the ability to read and, worse, the oceans will rise and drown us all in 10 years or, if we’re lucky, 20 years.
Thus saith the government-paid climate scientists, with their strangely inaccurate models, and the Chicago teachers’ union impacting kids and also praising a cop-murdering Communist revolutionary.
It’s all a scam. It’s like a political pyramid scheme built on money and power. The true believers at the bottom are vandalizing a camera-loaded Tesla, and killing the Turning Point founder, while their temple prophets on Capitol Hill are getting rich on evil Wall Street and going to Christmas parties with those Republicans who are supposed to be Nazis.
This misunderstanding over hope and heroes is important. It's why Democrats think half the country worships President Trump, like he can do no wrong, because they make Dr. Fauci candles and cupcakes and brag about it. Compare this to our side, which sees government as something necessary but not pleasant, somewhere between a root canal and a colonoscopy.
President Trump is just a man like us, a man with a sin nature he expresses with ease sometimes. He is sometimes wise and sometimes foolish, like telling the memorial service our nation is in shock and grieving, and also, tariffs are gonna make us all rich.
Think about how that hit them at the DNC. They probably looked up how tariffs are polling among independents, but there is no poll about redemption and a new life. Somebody at the DNC probably had to call their second cousin, the Baptist deacon, to ask what "resurrection power" means. Their smartest strategists were thinking of fundraising goals and poll numbers when a weeping widow stunned everyone with forgiveness. That can't be real. What is she really up to?
It’s much like the baffled demons in [C.S. Lewis's] “The Screwtape Letters.” In one of the letters, the high-ranking demon Screwtape describes how Hell itself is confounded by God’s plans. “We are still trying to understand what He is about, yet everything He does advances His purpose, often through the very means we design for evil,” Screwtape writes.
Tim Allen, his soul now free, knows what God is all about. So do many of us, who see His hand at work, almost three weeks after he called Charlie home.
Thank you, Billy Davis.
Takeaway
Is there anyone you should forgive, but have not yet done so?
Be Thoughtful. Be Prayerful. Be Pro-Active.
