It’s shocking and deeply troubling that some people might feel happy or vindicated by the news of Charlie Kirk being shot. This kind of response reveals how extreme political or ideological polarization can dehumanize others in our minds. It’s a reminder that in the midst of disagreement, anger, or frustration, some people start seeing opponents not as human beings, but as targets for punishment.

But the truth is horrifyingly simple: no one’s beliefs, opinions, or words ever justify someone’s death. Not one person on this planet possesses absolute truth. Not one person’s perspective is flawless or perfectly aligned against all others. We are all individuals, created with free will, and we each have a right to our own thoughts, beliefs, and ways of expressing ourselves.

This is why the act of taking another human’s life, simply because we disagree with them, is incomprehensible and morally unacceptable. Hatred should never escalate to violence. The moment we allow ideology, politics, or personal differences to justify the taking of a life, we cross a line that erodes the very foundations of our humanity.

Disagreement, debate, and even strong emotions are part of being human, but murder is never the answer. Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, regardless of whether we agree with them or not.

The world is hurting, and in moments like this we all cry out: why? Why would someone who seemed so normal commit such a heartbreaking, senseless act?

At the root, it reminds us of a deeper truth, wounds that go unhealed do not simply disappear. Left unattended, they can grow into isolation, anger, and even destruction. God designed our minds and hearts to need connection, encouragement, and truth. But when we isolate ourselves and only feed on negativity, the mind begins to change. If we allow dark ideas to repeat in our thoughts, they can take root. With what’s called confirmation bias, we begin searching only for information that validates those thoughts. The internet, though an incredible tool, can fuel this, because for any idea, no matter how destructive, there is endless content to make it feel real.

But this isn’t how God created us to live. He designed us to need one another. “It is not good for man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). He calls us to live in community, to bear one another’s burdens, to sharpen one another, and to lift each other up in love. When we divide into extremes, when we choose sides and refuse to listen, we rob ourselves of the very gift God gave us for health and happiness: each other.

True wisdom doesn’t come from shutting out voices we disagree with. It comes from humility, recognizing that every person carries a piece of truth and value, because every person is made in the image of God. Division is the enemy’s tool. Unity, understanding, and compassion are God’s design.

If we want to heal as individuals and as a nation, we must step back from extremes and remember who we are in Christ. We are one body with many parts (1 Corinthians 12). We are called to love one another, to seek peace, and to walk in truth. Healing will not come from doubling down on hatred or isolation, but by leaning into God’s heart, choosing love, choosing compassion, and choosing to see one another as He sees us.

Now, more than ever, may we turn back to Him. Only in His presence will our wounds be healed, our divisions be bridged, and our hearts find peace.

In light of what has happened with Charlie Kirk, let us not allow bitterness and hatred to plant seeds of bitterness in us. Moments like this can tempt our hearts toward anger, but instead, we can let them refine us, turning our bitterness into betterment. The Bible reminds us that times like these will come, but they also point us to the hope of Christ’s return. Rather than being weighed down with fear or resentment, let’s lift our eyes to Him, stay focused on being ready, and commit ourselves to helping others prepare their hearts as well.

III. Florida ranks 45th in the prevalence of untreated adults with mental illness, with 58.40% of adults with mental illness not receiving treatment.

From Divine Concepts Counseling, Inc.

We’ve all seen the headlines and reactions surrounding the affair that was exposed at the recent Coldplay concert. While it’s easy to share memes, jokes, and commentary online, we want to gently remind our community of something important:

Behind every scandal are real people. Real families. Real pain.

At Divine Concepts Counseling, we believe that every human being is capable of poor choices, none of us are immune. And more often than not, there’s more to the story than what’s captured in a viral video or a trending headline.

We encourage you to take a step back from judgment and lean into empathy. This situation impacts not only the individuals involved, but also their loved ones, children, friends, and communities. It’s not entertainment, it’s heartache.

✨ Mental health matters.

When we care for our mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, we are better equipped to make wise decisions, set healthy boundaries, and handle life’s pressures with integrity. When we mock others in their pain, it reveals something lacking in our own healing.

Let this be a reminder that what our world needs is not more finger-pointing or public shame, but more compassion, accountability, and healing.

If you’re hurting, struggling in your relationships, or carrying secret burdens, we’re here for you.

Divine Concepts Counseling, Inc.

💛 Restoring hearts. Redeeming stories. Renewing minds.
