Franklin Graham vows to Pray at Pentagon
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association ^ | May 5, 2010 | Bushmaster

Posted on 05/05/2010 11:45:07 AM PDT by Bushmaster7

As reported by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association today, "Even if President Obama fails to intervene to allow him to lead a National Day of Prayer event at the Pentagon Thursday, Franklin Graham will still be there— praying for the U.S. military and his own son who is serving in Afghanistan. The Pentagon had invited the National Day of Prayer Task Force, of which Graham is 2010 honorary chairman, to lead an official prayer service on site, but later rescinded its invitation after various groups protested. Graham told USA TODAY that when President Obama visited his father, Billy, last month, the younger Graham asked the president to intercede with the Pentagon to restore his invitation. He said Obama replied that he would 'look into it.' Invitation or not, Graham vows to pray for the military tomorrow. He also will be leading prayer at the national observance in the Canon Office Building, and a later event on the steps of the U.S. Capitol." Please support Franklin Graham with your prayers. It is Obama and his administration that disinvited Franklin Graham from praying at the Pentagon in the first place since it would 'offend Muslim sensibilities'. Never has America had so anti-Christian a president as we have today.

Now, if he’d just come out and boldly state the obvious.

There are two sides in the Cosmic Battle.
Christ’s and Satan’s.

Islam, Atheists, 0bama, and the left in general are opposed to Christianity, putting them in the latter camp.

There is no “neutral”.

“He is great man.”

I hope he’s better than his dad who worshiped at the feet of Hillary Clinton.

Dr. Graham worships God Almighty. It is a disgusting comment to say he worshiped Clinton.

Why would you say that? Rev. Graham has been respectful to all US Presidents and their wives.

if President Obama fails to intervene

C'mon Obama...where is your strongly worded letter, your most feared weapon?

Proof of where his loyalty lies...that when asked to choose a side here (Christianity versus "other")...he chose, as usual, to vote "present"...

...which instead sent a different message...

...that of coward

Shocking to many but true; every human alive right now is either condemned or in God’s kingdom, there is no gray area. Franklin Graham is so great; he always gives the whole gospel
message on secular tv whether he is given 1 minute or 5 for his topic discussion.

The so-called good Billy Graham emphatically said that she’d make a good president. To hold someone in respect that has committed her life to fraud, grand theft, supporting the continuing murder of 3,300 unborn children every day, to me, is contemptuous.

Sorry, he said it . . . I didn’t.

I’m hoping it’s due to the fact that Billy G. is elderly and suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. Maybe it’s affecting his mind a bit?

Billy sees all of God’s children the way we all should...as God’s beloved in need of a Savior.
