Saint's are the Salt of the earth, scattered in every Tribe, Nation, People and Tongue. They are Witnessess of the Power of Salvation, death to their own sin with Christ and Resurrection Life in Christ. The world hates the Sanctified Blood Washed Saints, Son's and Daughter's of God; Saints are hated by the world because they are filled with the Light of Christ.. Darkness cannot enter PURE LIGHT, Its impossible !! Saints are children of pure divine Faith in the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Almighty GOD the Father.

How so? Traditional Christians, across the board, support Trump. The only exceptions are the 'liberal' Christians...and they're generally 95% liberal and 5%Christian. This is true among both Catholics as well as Protestants. Trump has been our strongest ally. There is no excuse for any Christian doing anything else BUT supporting Trump.

April, your rant at the end is gold. I have been feeling so gaslit over the last couple of years, culminating in the last few months, and you said what I've been feeling perfectly.
Thank you for covering this specific prayer. I was absolutely appalled at Franklin Graham and his prayer. He has been a huge part of electing Trump both times. He has dishonored his dad and everything he stood for and lived out.
Nope he did not dishonor his father who like it of not was a white Nationalist. Billy rarely spoke overtly of his Christian Nationalist beliefs largely because it was the accepted norm in his day that whites where to rule blacks and other races. People just accepted that as being as bedrock a principle as a marriage between a white and a non-white being wrong. In fact anti miscegenation laws were common when Billy was in his prime.
I was saved at a Billy Graham Crusade event. I have been unsaved by Franklin Graham and his cabal. I don't want or need modern "Christianity" if this is what it has become.
Keep your eyes on Jesus my friend. No man can save you no man died for you. Jesus did and he will never ever disappoint you. Keep your eyes on the savior ❤
franklin graham isnt a christian, he rejects nearly all of christs teachings. you cant be a christian and reject christs teachings. and God "saved" trumps life? how about the firefighter who was killed? was that Gods judgement? .
I agree. Franklin, like so many other fake clergy, inherited hus daddy's god buisiness. He also takes a LOT of money in salary from his charities. It has been reported 600,000 from Samaratians Purse and 200,000 from the other one. All he cares about is money and power.
OMG! I too cracked up laughing when the sycophant said of malenia about "the beauty, the warm and grace that she'd shown not only to this nation but the whole world" Oh, please, franklin, franklin, franklin!
@@tgriffin3059 Michelle Obama was right. Because look at where America is today! She and many others, who are not naive, saw this, and know that this side of Americans was always there. And so said, so done. America gave the world a good look of who they really are.
Question: Has anyone ever heard Trump pray? Even the Lord's prayer, not "freestyle" prayers? Wouldn't you think he would be comfortable if he was God's chosen? Also why did he loose in 2020? I don't know what prayer is worst Frankie Graham or the Bible girls gone Wild's blasphemous revision of the Lord's prayer. This all makes me sick!
So true. When he is in church no matter what the occasion, he never prays or does responsive readings or sing. He just sands - stares - sleeps and figits.
This, this, this! When asked what his favorite verse was, his response was, "That's a deeply personal question." No Christian I've ever met was unwilling to share a verse, ANY verse! Either our president is hiding his light under a mountain of bushels, or he legitimately doesn't know a single verse.
@e.m.8094 give me a break! This channel has "Authentic" hosts and guests. It's not a church and doesn't want to be. I'll pray for you and I am sure if you asked Tim would too.
@@AmethystarOh it's worse than that. He was pressed on the old or new testament, and he didn't even know anything about them. The man's done the world's laziest christian cosplay and evangelicals lapped it up because he hates the same people they hate.
It's hard to imagine a better example of empathy than God becoming human. Being born living and dying like we do. How do you follow Jesus and question empathy?
I have just scrolled by and checking out this video. I am from a margalized community and Christian. People like Franklin Graham are a disgrace and these nationalists are not Christians. I am grateful that I not alone and channels like this are going to be necessary in the next 4 years to come. Thank you for speaking out and proving that these nationalists don’t speak for Christians and Christianity.
That right but remember who has two choices but are devils or sinners, you have to choice the less devil. Biden is anti Christian a hater he says very clear that he will impose the LGBT 🏳️🌈 in all the planet of 8 billion habitats. What an arrogant man in that moment Biden declares that he is master of mankind and mean he spoke like Antichrist. I my daughter sister and niece vote for because HE IS THE ONLY CHOICE AT THIS MOMENT, DO YOU believe that Kamala will a good president for all Americans, NO, 😮THE woman hate Christ and she will put good Christian in jail maybe in a concentration camp. CHOOSE WISELY
Love this! Thank you as a Christian, still I go to Revelation 13. I started reading revelation Trump's first term! Amen, the girl on your channel is on fire!! Preach sister.
No. Billy Graham was a central figure in the rise and legitimization of Christian nationalism. If he were alive today, he’d 100 percent back Trump. Please do not fool yourselves
And you along with everyone of us will be judged for the sins that we committed including your joyful feelings watching Jesus Christ punish them who went before you! I hope that you will remember that we are all sinners and none of us are guaranteed eternity in heaven!! And to wish that anyone be told by Jesus Christ to be gone for I never knew you breaks my heart and soul!! I am guilty of every sin that I have ever committed and I deserve nothing but punishment for my sins!!
Thanks to Tim and April for all they do opening their homes to the homeless, providing for the poor, and displaced. What has Franklin Graham ever done for the least of these that his prayers should be heard.
Bravo. If you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto Me. Funny how the name above every name Jesus, Is rarely,if at all, mentioned
Trump looks bored. I worry about Baron turning out worse than his father, if that’s possible. He never smiles, and he never looks happy. I hope I’m wrong. I hope he turns against the practices of his father.
I'm a Buddhist and I subbed to you guys and rang the bell within the first minute of this video!! Keep speaking out and rest assured that yours is the right doctrine for times such as these!!!
No he isn’t. Were Billy alive now, he’d 100 percent back Trump. He was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the rise of Christian nationalism. Don’t kid yourselves.
What has happened to these people. Are they that corrupted? Have they always been corrupt and I just was unaware of it? I’m so disappointed with American Christian leadership.
@@jacquelineadams4872 I once read Ruth Graham once put Franklin in the trunk of her car while driving for misbehaving as a kid. Maybe she should have left him there. Billy would have never approved of trump in his prime.
Yep. These people cannot be seen appearing to drink alcohol or dance because they want to "protect their witness", their reputation, but they embrace and exalt Trump. Matthew 23:23-25 23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. 25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. They need to meditate on this whole chapter. April nailed it! Thank you!
Just for those who are unaware? Claiming the title of Christian will not save you. According to a well-known survey. 85% of Americans claim that title. 7% claim to be born again spirit filled believers. It doesn’t matter what we think or feel. The word of God says we must be born again to see the kingdom of God. JOHN 3:3
Not all who have the gift of teaching have the gift of discernment. And Franklin Graham doesn’t even have the gift of teaching. He repeats other teachers. His father had the gift.
I lost all respect for Franklin some years ago when I was supposed to go with Samaritans purse to Haiti on a medical mission trip. I forgot what happened but for some reason he needed to take a PR trip there and they cancelled our medical trip to actually help the people of Haiti. Franklin is a fraud! plain and simple.
"Your values go wherever your power goes. Trump gives you power and you renegotiate all of your theology, all of your values, to make it fit why Trump is God's chosen one." The best 10-second summary of current evangelical culture I've ever heard.
Its sad but not surprising. Lack of respect. We are to be light and salt Matthew 5:13-16. I wonder how much Money Franklin got for this idolotry. Now you see why Church s are losing members daily and weekly.
I agree that's the main reason but I live in a red conservative state and I know many who left church's because of politics from the pulpit. Most of them said it was like hearing Fox news more than Jesus Christ being exalted and praised.
You have given me hope, thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only evangelical who did not vote for Trump, who has more attributes of an antichrist than God's servant. In fact, I am so sickened by what is happening I cannot identify as evangelical any longer.
I am going to be honest here, I am a Christian and I was taught that Jesus is out Messiah. But I think one day we are going to see Trump replace Jesus in American Christianity. I was saved in another country, I consider myself an evangelical, but I will be honest outside of America evangelical Christianity does not stress nationalism.
evangelical hypocrites like graham macarthur hagee jeffress bakker kunneman walnau robertson are already worshipping trump because they are all greedy hypocrites
We must go thru trials and hard times to get to Jesus coming! Praying every day for strength to get thru and to REMOVED THE BLINDER off people, especially those who call themselves CHRISTIANS!
Community is incredibly valuable. I am not knocking it. I find myself longing for a constructive way to make all this better. My biggest worry isn't the country or politics, it is the destruction of Christianity. People want to follow Jesus but they look at these people claiming to know him and they don't see him
Oh I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm a christian democrat and its super discouraging that all the christians I know say you have to be republican, and all the dems I know and watch, make fun of christians, I'm so glad a channel like yours exist, and your sane, everyone going after the bishop especially christians like mark driscol and living waters and etc is massively discouraging, I look forward to watching more of your videos your insight on this...... .speech is exactly how I felt. I skipped it during the inauguration because I knew it was going to make me angry, and I just want to live a life that is pleasing in Gods sight, and I hate getting angry over politics, but what have we become
This is an awesome commentary! More of this should spread around in defense of the Rev Bishop Mariann Budde who had the courage to make an appeal for mercy and compassion for the less fortunate and vulnerable people. She is now vilified by so many. She must be protected because we need more brave people like her.
Also, wrt Melania, remember all the "Michelle Obama is a man" memes? The comparison pics of her and Melania "who is the classiest first lady" with the rhetorical answer being "not the black woman"? SMH.
More religious leader need to stand up to this evil. I know it says that people will be blind to this evil and follow it, but I still hope people can see the truth
When will we learn that “not everyone who says Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven?” Hell will be full of so many who thinks they know God BUT unfortunately God didn’t know them.
President Biden is an observably humble man with a certain practice of attending church with evidence of his being an obedient servant to a loving power. 🙏
I worked at the Billy Graham library with my husband years ago… And it really breaks my heart over the years to see the road that Mr. Graham has taken and the people he’s taken with him.
For there shall arise False Christs & False Prophets😈& shall shew great signs & wonders; in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matt 24:24..Lead Astray, Deceive, Mislead.. if possible.. even the elect, the very elect, even God’s chosen ones. (Believers)🔥
Not Christian myself. But I appreciate this BS being called out. As for Bishop Budde - How dare that bishop bring the teachings of christ into the church. And how dare she make her self an inconvenience to the politicians who want to just cherry pick whatever aspects of "going to church" are good for appearance, vote capture, and their own political advantage.
As a child I remember my grandmother supporting the Billy Graham ministries and years ago I tried to continue her legacy by supporting Samaritan’s Purse. After watching Franklin Graham fawning over Trump all these years, I could no longer support his ministry. He no longer has his vision or his heart on Jesus and his teachings.
I have supported Samaritan's Purse many, many times growing up in the church over the years, but Samaritan's Purse has a lot of problems financially with the way they report, but the most disturbing to me I saw a few of their videos during Helene and I found them to be almost propaganda.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I STOPPED ALSO. FRAKLIN SUPPORTS EVERYTHING THAT'S AGAINST THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST. IT IS MIKE PENCE WHO GOT THE EVANGELICALS TO SUPPORT DRUMPF AND LOOK WHAT IT GOT HIM. NEARLY HUNG BY DRUMPF'S BROWN JACKETS.
OMG - after watching this, I feel like I’ve just been to church… AMEN. Saw this prayer being given on Monday in real time and had the same reaction. Thank you for speaking truth.
@@tomo.8096 i am an exchristian and one of the most fantastic things my preacher ever said was heaven was absolutely not going to be any thing like church. Thank GOD pun intended.
You know what is fascinating to me about the scripture passage Franklin cited, it was Daniel 2:21….Daniel had come to interpret Nebukanezzer’s dream, and the interpretation began in verse 32. Nebukanezzer was the head of gold, who God was raising up. TRUMP is the feet of clay mixed with iron. Franklin just prayed the prophecy of Daniel over Trump, and what his fate is: “The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.” Daniel 2:32-35 NIV
I am 60 years old, Wheaton College graduate. I would bike past Billy Graham center every day on campus. In 1986 he spoke in chapel. Some of us sat on stage 10 feet from him. He spoke about eastern European Christians. He actually showed a lot of tolerance, humility, and acceptance of differences given that it was 40 years ago. His son? Yuck. I am no longer a Christian. Most of the evangelical I know are all in on Trump. 😢
Franklin is using his father's legacy to gain fame, fortune and power. In doing so, he has become a stumbling block unto others. May God remove the scales from his eyes so he can see that a true Christian would pray for all God's children, not just the rich. For Christ did not come to save the righteous. He came to save the sinner.

Matthew 5: 6: 7: Anyone who preaches a different Gospel even an Angel from Heaven,..let him be CURSED. Galatians 1: 6 - 8;
The preaching of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but unto us who are SAVED it is the power of GOD, 1 Corinthians 1: 2:
As Christ gave His Life to save His Bride, His Holy Church of the Cross of Jesus Christ and Resurrection Life, The True Church without spot or wrinkle, His True Bride Church is Spotless, saved by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of her Testamony, and She loves not her own life even unto her death. Revelation 12:
By the Grace of God the Father alone, Christ's Bride, surrendered her whole triune being to Christ, as HE gave His Life for His Bride, His Holy Church.
This is a GREAT MYSTERY. Study Ephesians. Colossians, Philippians, The Narrow Way to Eternal Life..
Sadly the majority living on earth today, are on BROADWAY the road to destruction..!
There is a way to mankind that seems right however it leads to destruction.. follow the LORD and all His SAINTS on the Narrow Way to Eternal Life ; very few find the Narrow Way of the Cross. It is in dying to our sinful carnal nature with Christ, that every Saint is Born Again. Without the Cross there is no Pentecost .

April, your rant at the end is gold. I have been feeling so gaslit over the last couple of years, culminating in the last few months, and you said what I've been feeling perfectly.
Isiah 5 20
Thank you for covering this specific prayer. I was absolutely appalled at Franklin Graham and his prayer. He has been a huge part of electing Trump both times. He has dishonored his dad and everything he stood for and lived out.
Franklin has compared trump to jesus
@@patthompson6716 that is sad and trump is no jesus
Nope he did not dishonor his father who like it of not was a white Nationalist. Billy rarely spoke overtly of his Christian Nationalist beliefs largely because it was the accepted norm in his day that whites where to rule blacks and other races. People just accepted that as being as bedrock a principle as a marriage between a white and a non-white being wrong. In fact anti miscegenation laws were common when Billy was in his prime.
Wrong . Is father would be proud. Trump is amazing
@@mistiquefire3462
No, Trump is a god unto himself! A hater of people, nascissist
Oh my goodness. God said that we should not worship any other God but him.
These are classless people. And Graham is a phoney.
Trump is the most righteous president we've had in my lifetime. Sooo much better than pedo Biden.
I was saved at a Billy Graham Crusade event. I have been unsaved by Franklin Graham and his cabal. I don't want or need modern "Christianity" if this is what it has become.
😂
He is merely a snake-oil sales!
So don't go after "Christianity", go after the gospel itself! Much better, anyways!
@@denisemayosky1955 You mean that "love thy neighbor as thyself" passage?
Keep your eyes on Jesus my friend. No man can save you no man died for you. Jesus did and he will never ever disappoint you. Keep your eyes on the savior ❤

that idiot is no minister
franklin graham isnt a christian, he rejects nearly all of christs teachings. you cant be a christian and reject christs teachings. and God "saved" trumps life? how about the firefighter who was killed? was that Gods judgement? .
I agree. Franklin, like so many other fake clergy, inherited hus daddy's god buisiness. He also takes a LOT of money in salary from his charities. It has been reported 600,000 from Samaratians Purse and 200,000 from the other one. All he cares about is money and power.
What a disgrace Franklin Graham is.
According to their own creed, God appoints *all* leaders. I didn’t hear them praising God for appointing Biden...
Powerful point. Somehow God let Biden, Obama, etc. slip in.
OMG! I too cracked up laughing when the sycophant said of malenia about "the beauty, the warm and grace that she'd shown not only to this nation but the whole world" Oh, please, franklin, franklin, franklin!
I guess.he.liked.her nude.picture s.
She didn't claim to be embarrassed by our nation like Obama's wife did.
@@tgriffin3059 Michelle Obama was right. Because look at where America is today! She and many others, who are not naive, saw this, and know that this side of Americans was always there. And so said, so done. America gave the world a good look of who they really are.
Question: Has anyone ever heard Trump pray? Even the Lord's prayer, not "freestyle" prayers? Wouldn't you think he would be comfortable if he was God's chosen? Also why did he loose in 2020? I don't know what prayer is worst Frankie Graham or the Bible girls gone Wild's blasphemous revision of the Lord's prayer. This all makes me sick!
So true. When he is in church no matter what the occasion, he never prays or does responsive readings or sing. He just sands - stares - sleeps and figits.
This, this, this! When asked what his favorite verse was, his response was, "That's a deeply personal question." No Christian I've ever met was unwilling to share a verse, ANY verse! Either our president is hiding his light under a mountain of bushels, or he legitimately doesn't know a single verse.
@@ryanstuart4671 In all fairness, I've never heard anyone on this "Christian" channel pray either though.
@e.m.8094 give me a break! This channel has "Authentic" hosts and guests. It's not a church and doesn't want to be. I'll pray for you and I am sure if you asked Tim would too.
@@AmethystarOh it's worse than that. He was pressed on the old or new testament, and he didn't even know anything about them. The man's done the world's laziest christian cosplay and evangelicals lapped it up because he hates the same people they hate.
I am so PISSED OFF! How dare Franklin Graham be so disrespectful!!
Lol kook
How was he disrespectful?

DISGRACEFUL SPEECH bt Franklin Graham. Shame on him.😢😢😢😢
Franklin’s views are in them mainstream of US Christians
@ Which is driving millions away from Christianity. Many of us don't want to join a bigotry club.
6:50 yes it is sickening. Mere fact trump didn’t put his hand on Bible, he clearly thinks he is above God.
Well done you guys
Funny how Trump backers are saying "that is being taken out of context"
It's hard to imagine a better example of empathy than God becoming human. Being born living and dying like we do. How do you follow Jesus and question empathy?
Atheist here. Thank you for building the courage to call it out like it is! Bravo!
I have just scrolled by and checking out this video. I am from a margalized community and Christian. People like Franklin Graham are a disgrace and these nationalists are not Christians. I am grateful that I not alone and channels like this are going to be necessary in the next 4 years to come. Thank you for speaking out and proving that these nationalists don’t speak for Christians and Christianity.
That right but remember who has two choices but are devils or sinners, you have to choice the less devil. Biden is anti Christian a hater he says very clear that he will impose the LGBT 🏳️🌈 in all the planet of 8 billion habitats. What an arrogant man in that moment Biden declares that he is master of mankind and mean he spoke like Antichrist. I my daughter sister and niece vote for because HE IS THE ONLY CHOICE AT THIS MOMENT, DO YOU believe that Kamala will a good president for all Americans, NO, 😮THE woman hate Christ and she will put good Christian in jail maybe in a concentration camp. CHOOSE WISELY
"marginalized" lol
You're in a "marginalized" community? Give me a break.
Love this! Thank you as a Christian, still I go to Revelation 13. I started reading revelation Trump's first term! Amen, the girl on your channel is on fire!! Preach sister.
WHAT? Warmth & grace from Melania? I don't care do you?
Touché 😎
His father is fuming in heaven. Just ridiculous
Graham is perverting Christianity to kiss tRUMPs butt
Totally agree.
Thank you Tim Whitaker for shining a spotlight on Franklin Graham. What an Evil man.😢😢😢😮😮
No.
Billy Graham was a central figure in the rise and legitimization of Christian nationalism. If he were alive today, he’d 100 percent back Trump. Please do not fool yourselves
I didn't see God in the voting booth. Jr. Graham is taking the Lord's name in vain. Who is he to declare what God wants!
The day will come when Franklin is told to his face "be gone, for I never knew you." And I'm honestly gonna be fighting back cheering.
Me too!
And you along with everyone of us will be judged for the sins that we committed including your joyful feelings watching Jesus Christ punish them who went before you! I hope that you will remember that we are all sinners and none of us are guaranteed eternity in heaven!! And to wish that anyone be told by Jesus Christ to be gone for I never knew you breaks my heart and soul!! I am guilty of every sin that I have ever committed and I deserve nothing but punishment for my sins!!
Thanks to Tim and April for all they do opening their homes to the homeless, providing for the poor, and displaced. What has Franklin Graham ever done for the least of these that his prayers should be heard.
Bravo. If you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto Me. Funny how the name above every name Jesus, Is rarely,if at all, mentioned
Franklin is a nut.
I’m right there with you.
Love you two. Everything you say makes so much sense, and I'm shockeeeed not many are talking about this sad reality
Under His Eye
May the Lord Open
Trump looks bored.
I worry about Baron turning out worse than his father, if that’s possible. He never smiles, and he never looks happy. I hope I’m wrong. I hope he turns against the practices of his father.
Serious concerns. About that. Relationship. And. What. Barron Will. be.
I’m
I'm a Buddhist and I subbed to you guys and rang the bell within the first minute of this video!! Keep speaking out and rest assured that yours is the right doctrine for times such as these!!!
Billy is spinning in his grave.
He sure is!!
No he isn’t. Were Billy alive now, he’d 100 percent back Trump. He was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the rise of Christian nationalism.
Don’t kid yourselves.
Franklin is certainly NOT his father! Shameful!
What has happened to these people. Are they that corrupted? Have they always been corrupt and I just was unaware of it? I’m so disappointed with American Christian leadership.
That’s who they really were.
His father can only look on and pray - wondering where did I go wrong God? What has become of my son?!? 😞😟😓😭
His father supposedly worked for the fbi secretly pushing government agendas via church sermons
I wonder what Franklin's mother would have thought about him. I think.he gave them trouble when he was young anyway.
@@jacquelineadams4872 I once read Ruth Graham once put Franklin in the trunk of her car while driving for misbehaving as a kid. Maybe she should have left him there. Billy would have never approved of trump in his prime.
They will tell u straight up that God uses evil people to do his will
Thank God i found this channel! I'll be here.God bless you.
Amen sister! "I won't be gas lit, you can't tell me that what I see with my own eyes, is not true!"
Yep. These people cannot be seen appearing to drink alcohol or dance because they want to "protect their witness", their reputation, but they embrace and exalt Trump.
Matthew 23:23-25
23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
They need to meditate on this whole chapter.
April nailed it! Thank you!
Blessings to you all!
Just for those who are unaware? Claiming the title of Christian will not save you. According to a well-known survey. 85% of Americans claim that title. 7% claim to be born again spirit filled believers. It doesn’t matter what we think or feel. The word of God says we must be born again to see the kingdom of God. JOHN 3:3
WHAT IS HIDDEN SHALL BE FOUND❤😮
He's never going to get that orange out of his teeth
Not all who have the gift of teaching have the gift of discernment. And Franklin Graham doesn’t even have the gift of teaching. He repeats other teachers. His father had the gift.
A good thing is now the mask is off and we can see the truth they have in their hearts. I thank God for that!
You guys keep me sane.
I lost all respect for Franklin some years ago when I was supposed to go with Samaritans purse to Haiti on a medical mission trip. I forgot what happened but for some reason he needed to take a PR trip there and they cancelled our medical trip to actually help the people of Haiti. Franklin is a fraud! plain and simple.
"Your values go wherever your power goes. Trump gives you power and you renegotiate all of your theology, all of your values, to make it fit why Trump is God's chosen one." The best 10-second summary of current evangelical culture I've ever heard.
Why does no one ever say that what these people are doing is apostacy? They preach a gospel contrary to what Christ taught... isn't that apostacy?
@@ericbicknell7231 Who, and what?
Its sad but not surprising. Lack of respect. We are to be light and salt Matthew 5:13-16. I wonder how much Money Franklin got for this idolotry. Now you see why Church s are losing members daily and weekly.
30 pieces of silver for sure
The church is losing its members because they don't teach the true Gospel of our beloved Jesus Christ who died for us at the cross for our sins.
I agree that's the main reason but I live in a red conservative state and I know many who left church's because of politics from the pulpit. Most of them said it was like hearing Fox news more than Jesus Christ being exalted and praised.
You have given me hope, thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only evangelical who did not vote for Trump, who has more attributes of an antichrist than God's servant. In fact, I am so sickened by what is happening I cannot identify as evangelical any longer.
I am going to be honest here, I am a Christian and I was taught that Jesus is out Messiah. But I think one day we are going to see Trump replace Jesus in American Christianity. I was saved in another country, I consider myself an evangelical, but I will be honest outside of America evangelical Christianity does not stress nationalism.
evangelical hypocrites like graham macarthur hagee jeffress bakker kunneman walnau robertson are already worshipping trump because they are all greedy hypocrites
That means you believe he is the Anti Christ
Franklin g. sold his soul to evil. He will be held accountable one day. Shame on him.
Adultery in all three marriages is my understanding.
We must go thru trials and hard times to get to Jesus coming! Praying every day for strength to get thru and to REMOVED THE BLINDER off people, especially those who call themselves CHRISTIANS!
Hold tight to the lessons and discernment that God has given you! I don't see or hear anything Christ like about the Trump administration!
Community is incredibly valuable. I am not knocking it. I find myself longing for a constructive way to make all this better. My biggest worry isn't the country or politics, it is the destruction of Christianity. People want to follow Jesus but they look at these people claiming to know him and they don't see him
Jesus said “Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it”!
Oh I'm so glad I found your channel, I'm a christian democrat and its super discouraging that all the christians I know say you have to be republican, and all the dems I know and watch, make fun of christians, I'm so glad a channel like yours exist, and your sane, everyone going after the bishop especially christians like mark driscol and living waters and etc is massively discouraging, I look forward to watching more of your videos your insight on this...... .speech is exactly how I felt. I skipped it during the inauguration because I knew it was going to make me angry, and I just want to live a life that is pleasing in Gods sight, and I hate getting angry over politics, but what have we become
You guys are good. Just subscribed and will get April's book.
When the True King Stops In He WILL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH IN THE VALLEY OF JUDGEMENT !
This is among the worst, blasphemous prayers I've heard. It's disgusting. It's gross 🤮🤮🤮🤮
This is an awesome commentary! More of this should spread around in defense of the Rev Bishop Mariann Budde who had the courage to make an appeal for mercy and compassion for the less fortunate and vulnerable people. She is now vilified by so many. She must be protected because we need more brave people like her.
Whatever happened to the separation of church and state?
because of abuse power greed.
We lost that 40 years ago with Ronald Fu****g Reagan.
Also, wrt Melania, remember all the "Michelle Obama is a man" memes? The comparison pics of her and Melania "who is the classiest first lady" with the rhetorical answer being "not the black woman"? SMH.
More religious leader need to stand up to this evil. I know it says that people will be blind to this evil and follow it, but I still hope people can see the truth
When will we learn that “not everyone who says Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of heaven?” Hell will be full of so many who thinks they know God BUT unfortunately God didn’t know them.
President Biden is an observably humble man with a certain practice of attending church with evidence of his being an obedient servant to a loving power. 🙏
I worked at the Billy Graham library with my husband years ago… And it really breaks my heart over the years to see the road that Mr. Graham has taken and the people he’s taken with him.
April was on fire. Love it.
Yeah, WHOO! YOU GO, GIRL!!
You forgot to mention that SIN brings judgment...
"These people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." YEP!!
Thumbs up at 2.30. That snort of derision😂
Testify, April!!!
Matthew 7:21,22,23. Jhon 9:31 😢😢😢
Franklin Graham is rich and doesn't want to pay taxes. That is at the bottom of political speech.
According to Goggle Graham is worth 10 million.dollars.
For there shall arise False Christs & False Prophets😈& shall shew great signs & wonders; in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matt 24:24..Lead Astray, Deceive, Mislead.. if possible.. even the elect, the very elect, even God’s chosen ones. (Believers)🔥
All this from a nation that has never apologized for enslaving African people. Franklin Graham should meditate on
1 Corinthians 13.
Exactly.
Not Christian myself. But I appreciate this BS being called out.
As for Bishop Budde - How dare that bishop bring the teachings of christ into the church. And how dare she make her self an inconvenience to the politicians who want to just cherry pick whatever aspects of "going to church" are good for appearance, vote capture, and their own political advantage.
As a child I remember my grandmother supporting the Billy Graham ministries and years ago I tried to continue her legacy by supporting Samaritan’s Purse. After watching Franklin Graham fawning over Trump all these years, I could no longer support his ministry.
He no longer has his vision or his heart on Jesus and his teachings.
I have supported Samaritan's Purse many, many times growing up in the church over the years, but Samaritan's Purse has a lot of problems financially with the way they report, but the most disturbing to me I saw a few of their videos during Helene and I found them to be almost propaganda.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I STOPPED ALSO. FRAKLIN SUPPORTS EVERYTHING THAT'S AGAINST THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST. IT IS MIKE PENCE WHO GOT THE EVANGELICALS TO SUPPORT DRUMPF AND LOOK WHAT IT GOT HIM. NEARLY HUNG BY DRUMPF'S BROWN JACKETS.
Growing up in the 50s Billy Graham was such a solid goodwill messenger for God. For Franklin to tarnish all that Billy stood for is appalling!!
OMG - after watching this, I feel like I’ve just been to church… AMEN. Saw this prayer being given on Monday in real time and had the same reaction. Thank you for speaking truth.
@@tomo.8096 i am an exchristian and one of the most fantastic things my preacher ever said was heaven was absolutely not going to be any thing like church. Thank GOD pun intended.
AMEN!
Great job.❤
You know what is fascinating to me about the scripture passage Franklin cited, it was Daniel 2:21….Daniel had come to interpret Nebukanezzer’s dream, and the interpretation began in verse 32.
Nebukanezzer was the head of gold, who God was raising up. TRUMP is the feet of clay mixed with iron.
Franklin just prayed the prophecy of Daniel over Trump, and what his fate is:
“The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.”
Daniel 2:32-35 NIV
I am 60 years old, Wheaton College graduate. I would bike past Billy Graham center every day on campus. In 1986 he spoke in chapel. Some of us sat on stage 10 feet from him. He spoke about eastern European Christians. He actually showed a lot of tolerance, humility, and acceptance of differences given that it was 40 years ago. His son? Yuck. I am no longer a Christian. Most of the evangelical I know are all in on Trump. 😢
Go April!!!!!
Franklin is using his father's legacy to gain fame, fortune and power. In doing so, he has become a stumbling block unto others. May God remove the scales from his eyes so he can see that a true Christian would pray for all God's children, not just the rich. For Christ did not come to save the righteous. He came to save the sinner.
Since when is Melanoma warm??????
Will the United States rise above this our country is being tested
My thoughts exactly. I couldn’t believe his prayer.
Shameful!!!
God speak truth to your people😢
