Dwight L. Moody said, "One day you will hear reports that D. L. Moody is dead. Don't believe it. I will be more alive then than ever before!"
Likewise, Dr. Jerry Falwell is more alive now than ever!
According the Associated Press reports, Dr. Falwell collapsed in his office this morning at 10:45, was rushed to the hospital, and never regained consciousness.
I have met Dr. Falwell on several occasions. Last fall he and I were the plenary speakers at the West Virginia Baptist Evangelism Conference. We sat together, laughed, and then we preached.
Dr. Falwell was an extraordinary man. He rose to fame, but never forgot his common roots. He always had time to speak to the "least of these my brethren." His humble heart and servant spirit is what endeared him to so many. He shared the gospel at every opportunity, especially when being interviewed on national TV.
Dr. Falwell, you will be missed. But we are right behind. See you soon!

Alan, thanks for that kind word aboout Dr. Falwell. It's hard to believe we lost such a great man of God. I don't know if you ever heard his joke about the 70 Virginians that are going to beat up Osama bin Ladin but it's funny. It's in response to their so-called 70-virgins theory.
