This week, my social media has been flooded with Chief’s kicker, Harrison Butker, and the commencement speech he gave at Benedictine College. His speech went viral due to his remarks about encouraging women to be homemakers and mothers. He also called out false religion and religious leaders who do not live a life of sanctification. Butker stood up and said everything that is contrary to modern culture, and he is getting raked over the coals for it.
Butker, who is 28, spoke to a graduating class at Benedictine College, which is a Catholic College. Butker, himself, is a devout Catholic and took the opportunity to share his heart. As a 28-year-old young man, he spoke about ideologies and principles contrary to those of the current culture. He stood his ground and called out immorality and unethical behavior in the church and society. He spoke about his own life and his relationship with his wife. He talked about the importance of women in the home and the undeniable value they have in being homemakers. Overall, Butker gave a speech that called out the destructive ways in today’s society and culture and is getting hated for it.
Jesus Christ said, “They hate you because they first hated Me.” Butker is getting canceled over his unpopular opinions. What’s ironic is that the people who want to cancel him are the ones who preach inclusion and acceptance. He took a stand on his principles and faith. He called out the sin within society. He challenged the young people in the audience to consider what truly matters. Nothing that he said, I feel, is wrong, out of line, or unjustifiable. He spoke the truth, and the current society, which hates the truth, wants to see him destroyed for it.
If you haven’t heard or read Butker’s commencement speech, I have a copy of it linked HERE. I encourage you to read the entire thing. Too many people are only showing snippets of what he said to fit their agenda. Like most things in today’s society, what people say will be taken out of context. This is exactly what has been happening with Butker. Sadly, the current society doesn’t know how to think for themselves and will only read headlines without seeking out the whole story.
When a young man stands in front of a graduating class and shares his faith and beliefs and encourages morality, ethics, and right living, then there is nothing left for me to do than to stand with him and give him my full support. Butker shared opinions contrary to today’s society and culture, which is exactly what is needed. It is refreshing to see a young man stand for morality, ethics, faith, and Christian values. I believe we must support and encourage these young adults who take a stand for what is right and true, and that is exactly what I will do.
Our current society is running hard toward humiliation, debauchery, corruption, and ultimately, destruction. There are no longer moral or ethical values in our society. When truth is whatever you want it to be, then truth is nothing more than a falsehood. There is only one Truth, and that Truth was rejected and despised by humanity over 2000 years ago. He hung on a cross, cursed, and died for those who hated him. He laid down his life so that we might live. Sadly, the Devil has been hard at work pushing humanity to deny and reject the Truth. However, there are still those who will boldly speak the Truth amid a society that hates, abhors, and denies the very essence of it.
I applaud Harrison Butker. He stood among giants, spoke the truth, and did the right thing. This society will do everything in its power to cancel him, but it will lead to God’s glory. Cancel Culture will push their agenda to cancel Butker, but they will never be able to cancel Jesus Christ and His Truth. With that said, I stand with Harrison Butker, and I applaud him for doing what is right in a culture that praises evil.
What do you think? Do you stand with Harrison Butker or do you side with today’s culture and society? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
