Mourn with those who mourn...



It has become another sad day in VA, and around the world. News is spreading of Rev. Jerry Falwell's death this morning (Tuesday; May 15).


The Bible tells us in Romans 12:15 that we are to rejoice with those who rejoice, and mourn with those who mourn. So today, we in Christiandom, mourn with the Falwell family and the congregation of Thomas Road Baptist Church. Not to mention Liberty University.

Regardless of whether you agreed with him or not, Rev. Falwell did his best for the Kingdom. He took stands on some things that were necessary, as well as those that we erroneous (like the telletubbies) but nonetheless, he was a servant of God that will be missed, I am sure.

All in all, we have to remember the words of Jesus in Luke 9:50, when the disciples complained to Jesus that others we using His name to cast out demons, and heal the sick. Jesus wasn't alarmed liked they were. He simply said that if they are not against us, they are for us.

Which tells me that whether you liked him or not, he was with us, and on our side. One day we will see him in Heaven and rejoice around the throne of God together. Oh, what a day that will be!
