Jerry Falwell, going home at age 73

Dr. Falwell was a polarizing figure, you either liked him a lot or you flat out hated him. Despite doctrinal differences, Dr. Falwell was clearly a man who was passionate, passionate about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, passionate about America, passionate about Liberty University. Much of what Dr. Falwell said caused a ruckus, from parties as diverse as homosexuals to Calvinists. But overall he was a man with a heart for God and his work on behalf of the Kingdom are manifold. My prayers go out to Dr. Falwell's family and all those who loved him and had their lives touched by him. Enjoy your rest Dr. Falwell.

Dr. Mohler wrote a piece on the life and legacy of Dr. Falwell on the Newsweek On Faith forum. As expected, every crackpot liberal is out taking cheap shots at Dr. Falwell, never recognizing the irony of speaking in such an intolerant way about a man that they accuse of lacking tolerance.
