The man who has been heard and hated around the world. He has impacted the lives of everyone in the United States of America. Some see the impact as being good and others not so good. To me Jerry Falwell was a heroic man of faith.
The faith of Jesus Christ was never shunned by Dr. Falwell. He never stuttered when it came to presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When he spoke you knew what he was saying. He would not anyone to worship him, for he preached that we should worship Jesus Christ the Son of the living God.
I only had one opportunity to hear him preach in person, and that was at a Bible conference in Arnold, Missouri. First Baptist Church of Arnold had an annual Bible/Evangelism Conference sponsored by Bailey Smith’s evangelistic organization and the church there. It was a blessing to hear him speak in person. I enjoyed many of his messages as he proclaimed them on the Old Time Gospel Hour as well.
Let’s be sure we pray for his family – his wife, and their children. The sons will have their hands full taking on all the responsibilities that are at hand.
You may disagree with me about Jerry Falwell, but I believe all would agree, that he always believed in whom he preached.
