THE PASSING OF JERRY FALWELL

As many of you know that Rev. Jerry Falwell passed away this past Tuesday. There is a great sense of loss to me that some of the bulwarks of the faith and morality have passed off the scene.  A month or so ago Dr. Lee Robertson passed away and a few years ago Dr. Jack Hyles.  The list could go on and on. Who will fill their shoes? This is an important question because the battle is only getting worse. For example, liberals began trashing Jerry Falwell's memory and legacy, before he was even buried.

“The vicious attacks against this fine man show just how immoral our opposition is,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty.  “Instead of showing any respect for a person who has just died, liberals rushed to defile him on their blogs. This gives us a very clear picture of just who we’re dealing with in the culture war.”

One blogger noted: “What a great way to move into the season of gay pride.”

Former John Edwards blogger, Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon wrote: “The gates of hell swing open and Satan welcomes his beloved son.”

On Wonkette, a blogger noted: “At a time like this, people deserve sympathy and good wishes – except for Falwell, who is an evil ----.”

British atheist Christopher Hitchens was on CNN and told Anderson Cooper,  “I think it’s a pity there isn’t a hell for him to go to.”  Later, he called him a “conscious charlatan, and bully and fraud.”

These comments are just a brief glimpse into the hearts of liberals and secularists – those who wish to wield political power over our nation in Congress and other institutions. We need to reach People for Christ!
