Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to boycott businesses that fund and promote the gay activist agenda.
Graham made the comment on Facebook, announcing that his ministry is pulling its accounts from Wells Fargo Bank because they're using a same-sex couple in their ads.
"This is one way we as Christians can speak out," Graham said. "We have the power of choice. Let's just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against almighty God's laws and His standards."
Gay activist bloggers are mocking Graham, saying it will be nearly impossible to do what he says because so many businesses now support the gay agenda.
In an earlier Facebook post, Graham called on Christians to pray for Supreme Court justices as they prepare to rule on gay marriage.
Graham said declaring same-sex marriage a constitutional right would be a "wicked, wicked thing," adding, "The only hope we have is prayer."
"Imagine tens and tens and tens of thousands of Americans praying for God to hear their prayers and to change the hearts of these justices," Graham continued. "He might just do that."
I prefer that businesses just shut up and sell their products/services.
However, that is not today’s business model...and as we all know, business operates on the herd mentality...
Jeez, I thought first of the Senator from SC—and it didn’t compute.
Nice post.
Nothing comes close to a degenerate who happens to be a homosexual. Never met one in my life that was not attacked to young teenage boys. So the next time you frequent this joint, if you have a young teenage son keep him close.
Haven’t looked at a Levi’s product for DECADES since they pretty much got the ball rolling.
hmmm...interesting phrasing, given the subject matter...
“the ones who give big bucks to pro-gay (i.e., anti-Christian) causes. That narrows the field considerably”.
Exactly. Add Ford to the top of the list.
Wasn’t very long winded at all, indeed it was succinct and to the point. I think you may have difficulty with discerning what you are reading...maybe try slowing down and thinking about what you read a little... God bless.
I’m not sure if flaunt is the word I would use.
I mean you won’t walk in and see them engaged in a public display of affection or anything.
It’s just, like I said, one guy, the male part, is very proper, not flamboyant, but gives off a certain air that does reveal his gayness.
The other, the female part, is no doubt flamboyant. he will ping ones gaydar to the maximum possible extent. There’s just no mistaking it.
And having talked to them while awaiting my food, I know that they are both from New orleans, both live in the same house, they arrive in the same car and leave in the same car each day, so I’d say it’s safe to say that they are a gay couple.
I don’t have a teenage son, but if I did I would feel safe letting him patronize this restaurant, but I would not feel safe letting him participate in the Boy Scouts, for instance.
Luke 17:26-17:30
The day is coming when they will not believe what will happen because of the folly in their hearts.
Thank you kindly.
I understand the sentiment. It is inherent in every human being. It is contrary to nature to be mean to people who have been nice to you.
Agreed. I will definitely be shutting out Amazon and I will let them know why. For too long Christians have been passive and let ourselves be railroaded. That need to stop.
I used to believe that was a proper way to proceed. I really don't anymore. Are we to act like everything is okay for an entire life time hoping that someday they'll somehow realize that maybe that lifestyle isn't.... in the hope that when they do they'll think of one of us to talk too? I don't believe that anymore.
Honestly, I lean toward the principle of when one won't accept your grace, (your message of the Christ and his salvation)... that you shake the dust from your sandals and move on to someone who might recognize the need for a savior. Tough words I know, but we are in a country that is moving away from God. Acting like that isn't a problem so that we maintain "contact" with them in hopes of a conversation some day.... I dunno.
I think it depends on the relationship. Oscar Wilde converted to Christianity on his deathbed because he had a lifelong friend who knew enough about Wilde to know that was the way to play it.
Other people, other friendships, I’d say be open to whether the Spirit is moving you to say something directly and promptly.
The first time I even heard of homosexuality was when I was young and the church people spoke of Sodom and Gomorrah. When you examine it, it is a case where Homosexuality was the norm in that community, and they regarded it as perfectly reasonable for two male travelers to be raped by the men townsfolk.
It was decades later when I ran across another such incident mentioned in the bible. This time in the City of Benjamin. The male townsfolk gathered around the house of man who gave shelter to a traveler and implored him to send out the man so that they might "know" him. They ended up sending out the man's concubine whom the townsfolk raped to death.
Two separate incidents with very similar behaviors contained therein. Even if you don't believe in the bible as a religious matter, it is difficult to argue that it is not also a historical record of events, a characteristic which Archeology is confirming more with each passing year.
I assume the two incidents mentioned in the bible likely happened, or anyway something very like them did.
Again, years later I discovered that the Nazi party was rife with homosexuals. That it was indeed, began as a homosexual based political organization. The deeper I looked, the worse it got. Some of the most horrible aspects of the Nazi's debauchery become increasingly more associated with homosexuality.
Many of the guards and administrators responsible for concentration camp horrors were themselves homosexuals. Famous Nazi hunter Elie Weisel was sent to Auschwitz, where he discovered that the head of his part of the camp "loved children," and observed that "there was a considerable traffic in young children among homosexuals there."
A Nazi administrator at Treblinka, according to one historian, "had a harem of little Jewish boys" and "sought in Treblinka only the satisfaction of his homosexual instincts."
And then you find out many pirates were Homosexual. Remember those lace filled flamboyant outfits normally associated with Pirates? It was "Gay". Literally.
The point here is that there appears to be enough evidence to suggest a linkage between homosexuality and sadistic domination of men.
What we have been seeing lately appears to run true to form. Those "Gay Wedding" cases we have been hearing about were caused by homosexuals specifically seeking out people who would object, just so they could file lawsuits against them. They didn't want consenting people, they wanted people whom they could dominate. They wanted to use the legal system to effectively force people into doing something against their will, and if you have done any studying of the issue of homosexuality, you recognize this behavior immediately.
There is a large contingent of that demographic that *want* to force other people to bend to their will. That is the entire point, and they get sexual gratification from doing it. It is a proxy for rape, which they would also do if they thought they could.
Given that in nature, animals raping other males is a method of exhibiting domination and a superior position in the community, it is no surprise to think some humans might posses this very instinct themselves. The "Butch" queers have this instinct, and they don't care if their victim is heterosexual. If anything, they prefer it. They get an extra bit of sadistic gratification that way.
Telling them "No! Stop!" is exactly what they want to hear.
My point is, the Gaystapo is just going to get worse. Thinking it has a boundary beyond which it will not go just shows ignorance of what it is, and where it has been before.
What you do is concentrate on a few broad consumer appeal type businesses and isolate them.(Look at what happened to Penny’s). There are businesses that have many Christian customers but not as many gay ones. Some of those businesses are into the Gay thing. Let say Target and Walmart both tout the Gay thing. You isolate Walmart and boycott them...they lose a ton of business! Yeah you might have to go to Target for a few more items but even Target will get the message.! Penny’s sure did...their ads are very tame now! Money speaks and despite higher than capita average salaries...gays in terms of numbers just don’t have the aggregate buying power as multi-millions of Christians do!
Remember The wisdom Solomon saw in the locusts....”The locusts have no king, yet they march out in bands!” Proverbs 30:27
You can isolate the one while sending a message as a broad consumer group to the rest. If Wallmart started losing billions to it’s competitors such as Aldi’s, ollies, or big lots,(even though they might have gay tolerant policies) they’ll have to make adjustments. Like facing a gang alone, you attack the biggest one or the loudest mouth first and bloody him as best you can...the rest may just fall back!
