What If The Best Way to Defeat Your Enemies Is to Convert Them?

God’s mission is this: to go to the greatest possible lengths, not to defeat his enemies–but to convert them.

In Jonah chapter 3, for example, we see that Jonah is sent to Nineveh on a mission from God. Why God wants to save the people of Nineveh.

In our day, the mission hasn’t changed—we are to pray and fight for the conversion of our enemies. God is sending us.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk this past week should make it clear that evil is real and that there are people who wish us harm.

The people cheering on a murder and then brazenly posting videos of their celebrations—these are people who need to know the Good News of Jesus.

How will they hear it if we don’t tell them?

The same Lord who sent Jonah is sending us. It will take everything we are and everything we have—it is literally the most important thing in the world—to reach the world for Christ.

We have enemies, yes. But the way of Jesus is not for us to seek to kill our enemies, but to be willing to die to convert them.

What Charlie Kirk’s murder has done is opened up a door into enemy territory, and we must be bold to walk right through it with the message of Jesus.
