When it comes to using television and radio to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Billy Graham and Franklin Graham have worked to maximize their impact over the decades.
But now Franklin Graham has a somewhat dire warning to those who use these mediums to spread Good News.
“The storm is coming where we’re going to be off the radio and television and the internet,” Graham said.

Ping is right.
Once we are forced off of the internet and out of the public arena, the Iron Curtain that has already descended upon non-truth-seeking Americans will slam shut.
Don’t forget the possibility of a major gun grab. That will be really bad too.
Here’s where Christians are headed as exemplified in Graham’s speech -
“The problem with cultural Christianity, he [Graham] added, is that people place too much emphasis on offending people. The Gospel, in and of itself, is offensive, but that doesn’t mean we need to water it down.”
Now, recall the UK article yesterday where they jailed a guy for saying what the State concluded was ‘offensive speech.’

Christians need to get into the mind frame that everything they have is gone. They have nothing left to lose. As long as you think you have something to hold onto, you are going to be hesitant.
Exactly, and Solzhenitsyn agreed.
He pushed a shot that involved aborted babies. Hes a fraud
100% agree. Not easy to do.
If you are going to slam someone, then you have to provide more information and some citations. Otherwise, you are just noise to be ignored.
The Storm is here, we missed seeing it. I have another perspective on the pretend you have nothing to lose...presumably to make one unafraid or at least willing to resist. A man with nothing truly to lose has no reason, other than hatred to fight. This puts him in a similar category with the enemy who exercise their hatred through greed. We have a lot to lose, we have wealth, family, and friends that can be lost through the threat the left is posing.
But, we have to be willing to actually sacrifice and organize. Boycotts are good. So are days or weeks where we refuse to participate in the economy...stay home from work, don’t spend any money....
We can defeat the enemy without firing a shot by tearing down their economic base. It’s been done before...think Poland and India. But, we truly need to recognize the threat against us and be willing to sacrifice our own economic well being. Which at this point is probably temporary anyway.
Agree
We can defeat the enemy without firing a shot by tearing down their economic base.

Remember a few years back when Chick Fillet refused to buy into codifying into law Gay Marriage? ….and actively spoke against it?
Well, shortly after that their franchises MULTIPLIED! In my neck of the woods, 5 new Chick Fillets were built, and I see many new ones from Georgia down to Florida where I travel a lot.
Point: Christians are most certainly blessed when standing firm in their faith, not backing down and in fact Doubling down in spreading God’s word. I know I have. I can say with certainty the past three years of my life have been the MOST blessed days of my life.
That said, never, ever doubt the power of prayer, tithing, giving daily Thanks, Praise and Worship. Amen.
By the way it is Sunday, if you haven’t yet found a Church to attend - do so immediately. The POWER of collective Worship is simply amazing.
Matthew 10:39
Those who try to gain their own life will lose it; but those who lose their life for my sake will gain it.
Pray for Revival, it’s coming.
Graham is right.
Prepare.
Exactly.

There was a lot of the same talk and fear when the FCC changed its rules in the 80’s that religious broadcasting would cease. Instead, it proliferated. You’ve got more religious based broadcasting than ever before.
