Charlie Kirk was a Sabbath Keeper...
RickH:
Charley Kirk lost his life this week and one of the things he was spreading was about the Sabbath....
"Charlie Kirk
Charlie grew up Presbyterian. Discovered the Sabbath in the Bible. Also heard a radio speaker talking about the blessings of Shabbat. They started keeping it. He loves to talk about the sabbath; he gets tired of politics. He is writing a book on the sabbath. Stop in the name of God.
Sabbath helped him immensely. Before he started keeping it, he was sleeping poorly and burning the candle at both ends. He heard Dennis Prager talk about keeping the Sabbath. He got jealous of him after hearing about God’s divine stop sign. They made a commitment to start keeping it.
The Sabbath is a prioritizing of who is in the church. Genesis 1:1 sets the tone for God’s requirements and authority. The Catholic church tried to change the Sabbath to Sunday. It is the most ignored Commandment of the Decalogue. Honoring the sabbath helps you keep the other 9.
Dr. James Marcum shares the Sabbath with patients who are faced with health crisis. People use dopamine to make up for a lack of Bible truth in their lives. True worship activates a healthy part of the brain, that includes the Sabbath.
Charlie turns off his phone Friday night till sabbath night. Turns it off, his family uses electric on Sabbath. No news on Sabbath. If I can turn my phone off you can too. Charlie has 1500 employees. They know not to try calling him on the Sabbath. He turns his phone off. One time the President tried calling him on Sabbath. Charlie did not answer it. This day is for the Creator God and his Saviour.
Sabbath keeps you distinct from other people. Sometimes other Christians give you a hard time for keeping it. If I walk into your house on Sabbath, can I tell something different is happening? All family, all Jesus.
Ivan asked “How do you connect Jesus to Sabbath?”
Charlie: There is some sloppy teaching that Jesus broke the Sabbath. Two miracles, creation and resurrection affirm the Sabbath.
There are two types of people.
We are an unhappy accident.
Or creation. We are a miracle. By honoring the sabbath we are pushing back against dark nihilism in our world.
Never worship creation. Worship the creator. Romans 1.
Flesh fights the Sabbath. The enemy wants to prioritize materialism over the Creator. "https://www.fulcrum7.com/news/2025/3/29/will-you-be-made-whole-friday

Yes, I did some digging deep into this and found that it is true that he rested on the true Sabbath.
But he still worshipped on Sunday.
I still have questions:
Why didn’t he seek out a sabbath keeping church?
Why didn’t God protect him?

He was a bit of an interesting character. His wife is a staunch Catholic, although I've been heard she did join him in his Sabbath keeping. However, it will be interesting in December when his books comes out. My gut tells me it won't teach the true Sabbath but it will teach you should keep "a" Sabbath. It doesn't come out until December and its #1 on Amazon best seller list.
Interesting how things are working out. Its a little sad to me that Charlie Kirk can preach about the Sabbath and world listens but 20 million Seventh-day Adventists are mostly ignored. Well not for much longer. There is a SOP statement where she says that as a people not many people know about us but that will soon change, I can't help but wonder if that change is now. I wish I could remember enough of that statement to be able to look it up.
Charlie Kirk did do an panel discussion with Danny Shelton.
Why did God let Charlie Kirk die?? I have no idea but Mark Finley just put out a sermon with that title. This spiritual warfare and I have no idea how some of that interplay works out. I honestly won't attempt to answer that question but I will try to put forth an idea that I happen to personally prefer (but I'm open to being wrong). Why did God let William Miller die before his time?
I just watched a video of a sunday preacher saying that laws that require Sunday observance is the best gift that can be given to this nation.
JimB:
Here is that statement I couldn't find earlier.
Every position of truth taken by our people will bear the criticism of the greatest minds; the highest of the world’s great men will be brought in contact with truth, and therefore every position we take should be critically examined and tested by the Scriptures. Now we seem to be unnoticed, but this will not always be. Movements are at work to bring us to the front, and if our theories of truth can be picked to pieces by historians or the world’s greatest men, it will be done. Ev 69.1
We must individually know for ourselves what is truth, and be prepared to give a reason of the hope that we have with meekness and fear, not in a proud, boasting, self-sufficiency, but with the spirit of Christ. We are nearing the time when we shall stand individually alone to answer for our belief. Religious errors are multiplying and entwining themselves with Satanic power about the people. There is scarcely a doctrine of the Bible that has not been denied.—Letter 6, 1886. Ev 69.2 EGW Writings: https://egwwritings.org/read?panels=p30.354&index=0

Thank you
We’re told that persecution will refine us.
