The Rev. Jerry Falwell arrived at Lynchburg General Hospital today around noon after being found unresponsive in his office. Ron Godwin, the executive vice president of Liberty University, confirmed that Falwell was found unconscious in his office after missing an appointment this morning.
Chorus
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know.
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go.
I know He'll take me through, though I am weak and poor.
Chorus
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Just up in Glory Land we'll live eternally.
The Saints on every hand are shouting victory.
Their song of sweetest praise drifts back from Heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Chorus
O Lord you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Probably because Savage is Jewish. It wouldn’t set well to be told that you can’t enter heaven unless you’re a Christian.
There are some comments with an attempt at humor but nothing that could be called hatefilled or viscious. Mostly well wishes and prayers.
My mother was taken to Lynchburg General when she had her stroke in Appomattox (Vera, VA). Their diagnostic equipment was down for maintenance, so she was transported to Virginia Baptist Hospital. On the way over she had a second stroke and died (back in ‘87) several weeks later.
To be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord. What an amazing life he led. Prayers to his family and all who loved him.
You need to re-read your posts. You claimed that it happened here, too. It just did not.
I won’t address you again, AppyPappy.
Surely am not defending the leftist scum.
Just pointing out that there are certain high ranking democrats whose demise would bring out the worst of us too.
Well, I’ve been known to wander over to the DUmp, but not today. I don’t think I’d be able to wash off the filth and muck. FReepers are not like that, no matter who it’s about.
Over the years I was seldom on the same page as Reverend Falwell, and I believe that he did more harm than good overall. Nevertheless, I do believe he was a sincere Christian, and that his mistakes were made with the best of intentions. It is my hope that the Lord will judge him (and me, and all of us poor sinners) mercifully.
Prayers for his soul and for his sorrowing loved ones.
DCPatriot.
I won’t be addressing you again, either. Ever.
Five minutes ago, I just heard of Jerry Falwell’s passing into eternal glory. I do remember that interview with Falwell that Michael Savage did.
On a day like today, we can best pray for Savage. Jerry Falwell does not need our prayers now, for he is with his Redeemer at this moment, of that I am sure. Not because of anything that Jerry Falwell did correctly, but only because of what Jesus did right on the cross.
Well Savage is not a practicing Jew but Prager and Medved are Jewish and it doesn’t bother them what Christians believe. It was just odd that Savage got so rattled that Falwell believed that—seems like he would have already known.
I know what you mean. Noway am I going to the sewer today. I just can’t handle it.
Prayers to Rev. Falwell’s family. What a shame, but what joy for his weary soul.
His poor family. They’ll all be so sad.
Thank HEAVEN for Jerry Falwell. I believe it was his well-organized and prayer-backed movement that gave us Reagan.
