He’s gone home. No doubt there’ll be a cheering crowd on his arrival.
You know, I go to that site and read those hateful comments and I cannot believe that the people we have running the house and senate represent those lunatics.
>>You should see the utter EXPLOSION of hatred from the leftists
How would they feel if Rev. Jesse Jackson were to pass on?
(a preacher they have no prob with). You’d see no venom
if that happened.
Yeah. I met him once, too. He had an incredible personal presence. God be with his family and the community of faith he nurtured.
Good memory to have.
Good memory to have.
Well put.
Going Home
They say there’s a place , where dreams have all gone
They never said where, but I think I know
Its miles through the night just over the dawn
On the road that will take me home
I know in my bones, I’ve been here before
The ground feels the same, though the land’s been torn
I’ve a long way to go, the stars tell me so
On this road that will take me home.
Love waits for me round the bend
Leads me endlessly on
Surely sorrows shall find their end
and all our troubles will be gone
And I know what I’ve lost, and all that I won
when the road finally takes me home
And when I pass by , don’t lead me astray
Don’t try and stop me , don’t stand in my way
I’m bound for the hills where cool waters flow
on this road that will take me home
Love waits for me round the bend
Leads me endlessly on
Surely sorrows shall find their end
and all our troubles will be gone
And we’ll know what we’ve lost and all that we’ve won
when the road finally takes me home.
I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home
They say there’s a place , where dreams have all gone
They never said where, but I think I know
Its miles through the night just over the dawn
On the road that will take me home
I know in my bones, I’ve been here before
The ground feels the same, though the land’s been torn
I’ve a long way to go, the stars tell me so
On this road that will take me home.
Love waits for me round the bend
Leads me endlessly on
Surely sorrows shall find their end
and all our troubles will be gone
And I know what I’ve lost, and all that I won
when the road finally takes me home
And when I pass by , don’t lead me astray
Don’t try and stop me , don’t stand in my way
I’m bound for the hills where cool waters flow
on this road that will take me home
Love waits for me round the bend
Leads me endlessly on
Surely sorrows shall find their end
and all our troubles will be gone
And we’ll know what we’ve lost and all that we’ve won
when the road finally takes me home.
I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home

Baptists need a ping.
Despite naysayers, Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority set the ground work for much of the conservative movement that followed. Many of today’s conservative figureheads got their start at Moral Majority, including Cal Thomas.
Some of the remaining memories I have of my grnadmother are that she watched Falwell’s Old Time Gospel Hour every week.
Any ill will intended toward him, in my prescense is unwelcome. He was a very humble man, despite the lure of pride because of all that God had put under his charge.
The angels are playing harps for a hero’s welcome home.
When you consider that hes built Liberty University into a 10,000+-student institution, with very well-regarded academic departments (and not just in theology), in only 36 years? Its an amazing accomplishment.”
You are so right. And that’s just one of his legacies.
I really feel like he can’t be replaced. Of course, God is in control, now and forever. Yet....I feel a tremendous sense of loss. Sort of like an era has ended.
I suppose my prayer is that thousands - perhaps Liberty grads., perhaps others who were touched by his life and minsitry - would rise up to take his place.
Over the last decade or so, personally, I have moved to a much more Calvinistic theology. In that context, I have heard a lot of people sort of thumb their noses at the likes of Falwell and another great one, Tim LaHaye. I was always quick to respond that perhaps I don’t buy all of Jerry’s theology, yet none of us can claim to have advanced the kingdom as much as him. Not even close! This man was a might warrior for God. I shudder to think what depths of depravity America would be in if not for the faithful witness, testimony, activism and preaching of this great man of God.
I am sad today for America.
Oh, I am sorry, RB. This is a very sad time.

Their hate is oozing upon reading about Falwell.
Below is an example of the "tolerant" far, far left from somebody named Hawaii Hiker ...
It is very difficult to feel bad for him the so-called "religious right" has been among the most mean-spirited & vicious people this planet has ever seen...Those bastards danced in the streets (?) when Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered...A fundy nearly killed Larry Flynt decades ago...And they've done countless acts of violence to abortion clinics, gay nightclubs, etc.... The proper term for them would be the religious wrong..
May God raise up another with the courage and conviction that Dr. Falwell has exampled for us!”
Indeed. May God raise up thousands!
Dr. Falwell is absent from the body but present with the Lord... I know I should be sad, but it does not get any better than that. To see His face and hear Him say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
That’s okay. It happens every time I post some DUmmie droppings................
HUH? Are you serious?
If Bubba or Hillary were to meet their demise, this place would turn into Carnival.
Today, it proves that the nickname the DU has is well earned..
