» Brother_Jones - My Basic Point Is That
In response to My Basic Point Is That posted by pink101:I don't know how anyone can comment on that, do you? Can I read your inner thoughts? It's easy to call the kettle black.
Well in the case of the famous Sinclair Lewis novel, Elmer Gantry led a double life and had plenty of witnesses to the idea that he was interested in money and fame, more than ministry.
I agree with you about the inner life and heart. Nobody can discern the heart except God, but the evidence in Falwell's life is that he lived consistent with being a disciple of Christ. At least to the point that he was loved by family, friends, and members of his church for living a life of a Pastor, Father, Husband, and Friend.
And he was highly spoken of by his loved ones. And that is important when reflecting on his work, I think.
Religious scammers need to be exposed for preying on the lost. And I think most of the time their own personal life is in shambles.
Falwell reached out to the lost and prayed for the lost with a sincere spirit, it certainly appears to me by looking at the evidence of his life.
i am just an oldtimer for the Lord.
