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.

No matter what anyone says, I will always remember Falwell for his love of the Lord. The rest is no worse than my smallest sin. (if there is a small one) selahV

Tony and Gordon,
Thanks for your comments.
Tony, I know there are a lot of disagreements over Dr. Falwell. I know some Southern Baptists who completely despised him. You cannot help but admire his courage and boldness.
Gordon, Sometimes we need someone to open our eyes and it could be either way of the side that one believes.
Thanks again.

Dr. Falwell was a bold man of God. Perhaps at times he may have gone to an extreme position, but sometimes we need someone to do that.

Hello Brother Tim,
Yes, I disagree with you on a point or two about Dr. Falwell, but I do wish I had his courage. Being in Virginia, I regularly listened to his radio show on the Liberty radio station, WRVL. When he preached the Bible, man, could he preach. But, when he got onto his political agenda, he morphed into something entirely different.
He had the tenderest of appeals for folks to accept Christ but I never could agree with the way he was so quick to point the finger at radical/extremist groups he was opposed to.
And indeed, my prayers are with the Falwell and Thomas Road Baptist Church families.
