The sad thing about Jerry Falwell is not that he never did anything good (which is to say Godly), as some folks seem to think. The sad and sinful thing about him is that, publically, instead of preaching God’s Word to public officials (elected and running for office) and telling them what God required of them, he was a Republican Party cheerleader, a “dumb dog” that was not barking (Isaiah 56:10), a “eunuch in the palace of the king of Babylon” (II Kings 20:18).
