Stop, In the Name of God by Charlie Kirk

Beyond anti-racism, the earth, and self, there are three additional counterfeit religions discussed in this chapter—scientism, consumerism, and power. Each of these offers a false sense of security and robs us of worshipping God. Until we set our hearts on worshipping God, we will not see the benefit of honoring the sabbath.

Next week we will discuss chapter 6 of Stop, In the Name of God.

Stop, In the Name of God by Charlie Kirk

Faith in God is reasonable, and we happen to have evidence and arguments on our side from every discipline of study. Today we get into a discussion on the absurdity of atheism and the warrant for creationism. This is something we desperately need to understand in our lie-saturated culture. Belief in the God of the Bible is a warranted claim that is accepted as evidence all on its own. We can confidently believe the Word of God.

Next week we will discuss chapter 3 of Stop, In the Name of God.

Stop, In the Name of God by Charlie Kirk

Why do we worship things other than God? What happens when we focus only on ourselves? How are the anti-racism and climate control movements religious causes? What should our generation do in light of modern-day idolatry? All of these questions come up in this discussion over chapter 4 of this book.

Next week we will discuss chapter 5 of Stop, In the Name of God.

Stop, In the Name of God by Charlie Kirk

We start the investigation into the Sabbath by looking at Genesis 1:1 for an entire chapter (it actually extends into the next chapter as well). One of the best lines from this reading was, “Work finds purpose when it moves toward rest; rest finds holiness when it reflects the Creator’s own pause” (16). Everything from creation to history having purpose to God being outside of time and space, is intended to point us to God and reveal who he is to us.

Next week we will discuss chapter 2 of Stop, In the Name of God.

Join us as we walk through history from creation to the present to see how the sabbath has been followed and interpreted at different stages down through time. This is not merely a passive rest or recreation, it is a taste of the future Messianic Age, a rest from creating or striving, and an intentional choice for presence and consecration.

Next week we will discuss chapter 4 of Stop, In the Name of God.

Today we cover the foreword, prologue, and introduction to Charlie Kirk’s seminal work before his assassination. We talk about Charlie’s legacy, friendship with Dennis Prager (who this book is dedicated to), relationship with Erika Kirk, and his mission to restore people back to life as God designed based on Scripture. Joining us to introduce the book is our sister. Are we striving to hold our lives together or are we surrendering to God’s plan for us?

Next week we will discuss chapter 1 of Stop, In the Name of God. Just a heads-up, this will be the longest and probably the deepest chapter in the book, so start reading it early in the week.

In Season 3, we are reading Stop, In the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life by Charlie Kirk. We are excited to read from an author who was so devoted to his Christian faith on a topic that is so needed. May this not just be an interesting read, but a soul-refreshing practice that we can adopt for the rest of our lives. We are thankful you would listening and/or read along with us.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

What a glorious entry into heaven we read about in the final pages of this allegory.

Thank you for reading Pilgrim’s Progress with us.

Looking forward to kicking off Season 3 of Give Attendance to Reading next week.
