At her husband’s memorial service, Mrs. Charlie Kirk did more than just honor her husband. She outlined great lessons of the Christian life which they had learned together and put into practice. Some quotes from her remarks:
Erika Kirk Understands Leadership
“To all the men watching around the world, accept Charlie's challenge and embrace true manhood. Be strong and courageous for your families. Love your wives and lead them. Love your children and protect them. Be the spiritual head of your home. But please be a leader worth following by your wife.”
Erika Kirk Understands Marriage
“Wives, be virtuous. Our strength is found in God's design for our role. We are the guardians. We are the encouragers. We are the preservers. Guard your heart. Everything you do flows from it. And if you're a mother, please recognize that is the single most important ministry you have. In our home, because Charlie traveled a lot, we tried to travel with him where we could. But I made sure that when Charlie returned from work, it was his sacred landing place away from the worries of the world. I didn't make him feel guilty for being away too long or too much. Or getting home too late. I always told him home is here for you and it'll be ready for you. And I made it into this place where he wanted to be as soon as possible when he was on the road.”
Erika Kirk Understands Discipleship
“All of you who are already believers: It is your job to shepherd these [new converts who are responding to the revival.] Do not take that lightly. Water the seed of their faith. Protect it and help it grow.”
Erika Kirk Understands Faith
“Charlie knew that faith was a habit. The more you live it, the more it grows. But know this too. The seed has only just been planted. The enemy will tempt you the most in a time like this one. God will always be there for you. But you must choose to mark your soul again and again in the direction of Christ. Pray again. Read the Bible again. Go to church next Sunday and the Sunday after that. And break free from the temptations and shackles of this world. Being a follower of Christ is not easy. It's not supposed to be.”
A quick reminder:
Christianity will never perish, but godly Christians will always be persecuted. Today the intensity of persecution is rising.
"Children in China are prohibited from attending Christian church services, and the Chinese Communist Party rewrites Bible verses to support official pronouncements from the State. Sharing the gospel online is a crime, and Christian pastors are regularly arrested and “disappeared.” In India, Hindu terrorists set Christian churches and Bibles on fire and beat up and murder Christian parishioners. Muslims in Indonesia hunt down Christians as if they were animals. Muslims in Nigeria have massacred or abducted a hundred thousand Christians over the last six years and have destroyed some 20,000 Christian churches and schools. Islamic governments in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran discriminate against Christians, punish them ruthlessly for their beliefs, and execute anyone brave enough to convert to Christianity. In North Korea, ...
“Groypers”, as Fuentes fans are known, are not conservatives. They are the voice of a generation which feels ignored, mistreated and unfairly maligned. They don’t want “small government”, they want revenge.
The bulwark against this voice of Cain was shot in the neck and killed on a college campus a few weeks ago. Charlie Kirk was single-handedly leading the Zoomer Right away from bitterness and resentment, towards God, family and service. How and whether the remaining principled conservatives try to resolve this attempt to take over their movement remains to be seen.

No. But that will be the fake news of the coming week.
X keeps interesting records of their traffic.
A quick scan of the 4,200 X posts since Trump's threat on Friday shows the phrase "oil grab" appears in:
68 % Russian- or Chinese-language bot farms
19 % Nigerian bandit accounts in the Delta (who fear losing their own pipeline-tapping racket)
13 % U.S. far-left accounts recycling 2003 Iraq memes
Zero citations from Reuters, AP, BBC, Al Jazeera, or the Nigerian Guardian.
