Thanks for sharing. Though many of us disagreed with Dr. Falwell on several points, I think we all agree that we refuse to have our brother maligned and slandered by the public.

Falwell’s passion, vision, and courage, along with his perseverance and dedication are things which I have great respect and admiration. I pray that the future of Thomas Road and Liberty University will be greater than Falwell had ever imagined.

But I know that he was a brother in Christ, who was trying to faithfully serve his Lord. I have to admit, I am getting my boxers in a bunch over the reaction that I am reading over his death. I don’t think reveling, like some are doing, in his death is appropriate. It certainly doesn’t give them the moral high ground. How does it make them any better than the Westboro Baptist bunch and what they did at Matthew Shepard’s funeral?

He took personal time to shepherd my wife and I during a family crisis. I did not agree with all his decisions but I am forever changed by his passion for the gospel and church planting.
