From the Archive: Charlie Warns Against Satan's Attacks

Charlie Kirk (0:03)

My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter. Go start a Turning Point USA high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade. Most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am. Lord, use me.

Buckle up, everybody. Here we go.

Thank you. Good morning, everybody. It's great to be here. And it's been quite a month this last week for us on our team. We've been crisscrossing the country from Michigan to Minnesota, and we're heading to Texas this week. My day job is to go to college campuses so you don't have to, and to spread the message of truth and of liberty. And every message I give, I make sure that I tell young people the importance of ultimate purpose. And I don't know if you noticed this, you probably have, but for many students across the country right now, they are experiencing a crisis of purpose. In fact, I was in Minnesota, in Mankato, and I had some students come up and they say basically what is the point of existence? There is no God, there is no truth. And I realized in a very profound way that Satan, who is real, by the way, and the church doesn't talk about Satan enough, and we'll talk about Satan a little bit. That'll be not the most uplifting part of my message. Actually, it's very uplifting because we win against Satan thanks to Jesus. So there actually is kind of uplifting.

Just a matter of how you frame it, Satan has done a very good job of leading us to believe that there's nothing to believe in. And we've seen that over the last year and a half, and kind of in my job, I talk about a lot of different things, but I'm trying to bring people to ultimate purpose, and the ultimate purpose is Jesus Christ. And purpose comes from a Greek word, telos, which is where we get the word telescope from, which means far out in the distance, that which worth aiming for. And without any form of purpose, then you start to get into a lifestyle that prioritizes indulgence or pleasure and all these sorts of different things. And so I was really moved this last week when I had students come up to me. And again, the primary thing I do is not to spread the gospel in the sense that you might think, but everywhere I go, I spread the gospel. It's no different than those of you that are plumbers or carpenters or police officers, that you're able to do it through the work that you embody and you still talk about it every single day. And I was really moved when students came up to me, they said, Charlie, I'd never heard anyone in the history of this campus say that Jesus Christ was the king of the world. Not once, in four years. And it moved me back to an earlier time when I was in church, and I just know I have to get my life right with Christ. And I was just reminded that this is a good kind of lesson that I learned this last week for all of you, that you need to say that every single day to somebody. And it might not be politically correct, which, if you know me, I could not care less about that. That you need to say every single day that there is objective truth, that there is a point for your existence, that there is a God who loves you and that created you. And I don't know if any of you have had this experience before, but I was kind of jolted awake the other night with just kind of a repetition of Genesis 1-1. I was like, why can I not get Genesis 1-1 out of my head? And it's a scripture that everyone knows in one way or the other. And by the way, we're all giving this beautiful Bible. And I'm going to get into Bibles in a second, which is a really important thing, because I think physical Bibles need to have a comeback, and we've got to get rid of our Bible apps. I'll get into that later, though, because I'm a big believer in physical Bibles. I don't mean to offend people. That's probably going to be the most controversial part of my speech today.
