Jerry Falwell's Death

Tuesday May 15, 2007

I want to extend my condolences to Rev. Jerry Falwell’s family, congregation, and university community. Death is always the enemy and it is the enemy here. One day, however, Jesus promises that those who follow him will live again. That is the hope of Christians everywhere and I know that was Rev. Falwell's hope as well.

Why do you believe that "death is always the enemy"?

I'm glad somebody actually asked this, Nan. To say our culture has a backwards perspective about death is a major understatement.

When I heard of Jerry Falwell's death, I went from sadness to elation for this man in about three-seconds. He is now present with the Lord Jesus. He stayed on the right path. My sadness is for his enemies that will be in eternity in an altogether different condition.

Excellent powers of clairvoyance you have there Donny. My condolences to Falwell's family and friends.

I agree, Tom. Maybe if our culture didn't overvalue longevity such, more people would live "Christ-like" lives earlier. ;-)
