On the death of Charlie Kirk
American Christian and conservative leader Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday. Kirk (1993-2025) wasn’t as remarkable for what he said (though he did get things mostly right) as he was for how he spoke up (boldly, as a grateful child of God) and for where he was willing to go. Kirk made dozens and dozens, and maybe hundreds, of appearances – captured as YouTube clips – on campuses across the United States. He’d set up a booth and take on any and all questions from liberal students who, it so often seemed, had never even heard an intelligent conservative Christian speak before. It was at one of these events that he was murdered.
The link above goes to a collection of articles, assembled by Tim Challies, reflecting on Kirk’s assassination. The video below is of Kirk stepping up for the unborn. May Kirk’s courage inspire many more Christian young men to be just as strong and courageous (Joshua 1).
Tim Challies, on how to write a great book review…

Organ transplant investigations expose grisly stories of patient abuse
This is an American story, but one that should concern Canadians because in our murder-as-medicine MAiD-approving country, wouldn’t it be all the more likely that a dying patient might be euthanized for their organs?

How to face apparent contradictions in the Bible
Michael Kruger has three tips to deal with passages in the Bible that seem contradictory:
1) don’t be scared of them
2) don’t apply today’s conventions to yesterday’s writers
3) be humble and patient: that we don’t have an explanation now doesn’t mean there isn’t one, or that it won’t show up later
My Soul Among Lions, Psalm 2
I remain fascinated at the many very different, great treatments that can be given to the Psalms…..
