Reap What You Sow, Maybe Their Right?

Reap What You Sow? Maybe You’re Right.

I’m reading comments from more left-leaning folks who honestly believe that Charlie Kirk’s murder is “reap what you sow.”

They don’t think it’s punishment, but a consequence.

A consequence of a society that rewards what they say is cruelty and punishes empathy.

I don’t think this theory has anything to do with Kirk, but I wonder if they are onto something about our culture.

Stay with me here.

I read those words last night and for the first time understood something.

For me, and many in the world, we believe Kirk was being empathetic by calling out evil by showing people a way out.

He was strong in his opinions and forced no one to “buy in.”

What scares his opposition.

He was smart, effective, had amazing arguments and facts to back up his views, and Charlie Kirk was reaching the masses, something the left is failing at right now.

He had a message for people: the left has nothing.

Kirk was a threat to them and to the deep state, which includes power-hungry Republicans.

But we live in a world where “sin” is not dealt with.

It’s a judgmental word, and that bothers people.

It should bother all of us.

Just writing the word in this blog will bring me heat.

But it’s what it is, and sin is alive and well in our culture today.

Sin means “missed the mark.”

We all sin, but the idea, at least from a Christian perspective, is to do better.

We are to repent and do a 180.

Not a very popular idea in 2025 culture.

Our world makes excuses.

Kirk called out the lies.

From what I read, the more level-headed Kirk opposition doesn’t think he or anyone should be murdered for sharing their beliefs.

Where it gets ugly, to me, is that many of them believe Kirk reaped what he sowed.

In other words, they think his determination and examination of our world’s sin was mean-spirited.

Hence, “Reap what you sow.”

I find that twisted and wrong.

What this clarifies for me is what comes next.

How do our two ideologies come together when they are so opposed to one another?

We are like two magnets that repel each other.

To even suggest this is “reap what you sow” is ridiculous, callous, and so far off the mark that I will never see their point of view.

Charlie Kirk is a turning point in our history.

A curtain ripped in two.

Divisive, you bet.

Sheep and goats.

Right and Wrong.

Oil and water don’t mix, and many of us have seen too much to go back.

When that mixed-up kid pulled the trigger, something changed.

The public assassination of a 31-year-old man, and the ugly response from some, while hidden well by a few, their intention is obvious.

The damage is done.

The fog burned off.

Clarity restored.

We must listen to what people say, but look for what they are not saying.

Perhaps the empathy some fail to see in Kirk is vacant in their own lives.

I don’t think Kirk’s death has anything to do with “reap what you sow.”

If you go back and look at his interactions with even the nastiest people, he was always respectful.

I do agree his murder was a consequence of his actions.

He fought for the truth, and evil took him out.

His assassination was the result of speaking the truth, pushing buttons, and stepping on the toes of evil.

So, back to the reaping what you sow theory.

I agree we do, we will, we are.

The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue.

Oftentimes, we speak things into our lives without knowing.

When a culture and its ideology miss the mark, there’s a price to pay.

Reap What You Sow.
