His mentoring, friendship and prayerful support are gifts I can never repay. I can however, pay tribute to his life, and his life’s work: educating and equipping Christians to spread the Christian message—not just at home and in the church, but in our communities and in our politics. When many Christians elected to duck the culture wars or took a pass on issues such as abortion, or the secularization of our children’s education, Dr. Falwell refused to budge. Even more important than his steadfastness, however, was his commitment to building a Christian Coalition which could give voice to our concerns and extend our values into the heart of the culture. Exhorting Christians to act on their beliefs, Dr. Falwell helped give new urgency and relevance to Christian values in America. This is Jerry Falwell’s legacy, and it will not soon be forgotten.
