Anti-Christian Bigotry or Ignorance?
"MSNBC’s
Rachel Maddow is in the news for being critical of Liberty
University. No university is perfect, but let me just share a little bit of
the background of this great institution.
From very humble beginnings, Liberty University was started in 1971 by the late
Dr. Jerry Falwell. Early on, the school was financially on the precipice,
struggling to make payroll and build the needed facilities. Dr. Falwell stayed
true to the vision God gave him to build 'Champions for Christ,' and God
blessed his commitment and calling. Today Liberty University is an academic
powerhouse with a total enrollment exceeding 100,000 students—15,500 on campus
and 94k+ online. Here’s a school that’s less than 50 years old and has $1.3
billion in endowment and incredibly beautiful, new, cutting-edge campus. Today they’re
ranked as one of the top universities in the country and they have 17 colleges
and schools including a school of medicine and a school of law. This just shows
you what God can do when you’re faithful to Him and His calling.
God bless Jerry Falwell, Jr. as he continues leading and building this great
institution." - from Franklin Graham
