“Taking it to the Streets Ministry”

“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” — 1 John 5:21

 

     In every generation, voices rise that claim to speak truth, rally movements, and stir passion. Some are political, some cultural, some even religious. But Scripture is clear: no human being is worthy of our worship. Not pastors, not politicians, not pundits. Not Charlie Kirk. Not anyone.

 

      Charlie Kirk may be a prominent voice in American conservatism, but he is not our Savior. He is not the source of truth, righteousness, or redemption. When admiration turns into allegiance, and allegiance into adoration, we cross a line that Scripture warns against idolatry.

 

     Idolatry isn’t just bowing to statues—it’s elevating anything or anyone to a place that belongs to God alone. When we defend a man more fiercely than we defend the gospel… when we quote a pundit more than we quote Jesus… when we shape our worldview around a personality instead of the Word… we’ve misplaced our worship.

 

      Ask yourself

 

      • Do I spend more time listening to political commentary than I do reading Scripture?

 

      • Do I feel more emotionally stirred by a speech than by the gospel?

 

     • Have I ever justified ungodly behavior because I admire the person who did it?

 

      If so, it’s time to repent—not from political engagement, but from spiritual confusion. God is jealous for our worship (Exodus 34:14). He will not share His glory with another.

 

     Jesus is not a mascot for any political movement. He is King of Kings, not a commentator. He doesn’t need a platform—He reigns from heaven. He doesn’t need applause—He deserves reverence.

 

     Let us return to the simplicity and power of the gospel. Let us exalt Christ—not personalities. Let us be known not for who we follow on social media, but for who we follow in Spirit and in truth.
