Remnant Recap

• Silencing attempt rejected: Franklin Graham said Charlie Kirk’s assassin failed to silence Christian voices.

• Faith spotlighted: Graham said Kirk’s death has amplified the Gospel worldwide.

• Youth awakening: Reports suggest rising church attendance and renewed boldness among young believers.

The Left wanted silence. What they got was a megaphone. Franklin Graham says the assassination of Charlie Kirk was meant to shut down Christian voices, but instead it ignited something far bigger. In a culture that increasingly punishes faith and labels conviction as extremism, Kirk’s life and death are now forcing an uncomfortable truth into the spotlight. You can cancel a man, but you cannot cancel the Gospel.

Christian Post reports:

“I think what the assassin was wanting to do, no question, has backfired,” Graham told The Christian Post in a phone interview. “And what the Left is wanting to do is to shut the mouths of anyone who’s willing to speak out.

I hope this is going to raise up an army of young people who will take a stand for Jesus Christ, who are not afraid to speak out and not afraid that they’re going to be attacked or accused. We have to take a stand and be open to the truth and not be afraid to speak the truth.

There’s no question that Christian people of faith are under attack.

It’s another word to try to put you down, and to shut you up and to make you fearful of taking a stand.

I think Charlie’s death put a huge spotlight on this truth: that Jesus Christ is God’s Son. And so what the assassin, I’m sure, wanted to do was to shut Charlie up, to shut his mouth. The opposite effect is taking place.”

Charlie Kirk did not live quietly, and his faith did not die with him. The bullets meant to silence him only made his message louder. In a moment when courage is mocked and conviction is punished, his legacy is reminding an entire generation that truth is worth the cost. And if the Left hoped fear would win, Franklin Graham says they miscalculated badly.
