The Rev. Franklin Graham gave a chilling warning during the keynote Monday night at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Orlando, Florida. He warned church members of โthe coming stormโ headed for churches and ministries.
Thereโs a storm coming, and weโve all got to be prepared.”
Franklin Graham serves as president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and head of Samaritanโs Purse.
Rev. Graham also said that “every demon from hell” has been “turned loose” in our culture today.
“The world has deteriorated so quickly. We cannot be deceived, and we canโt be fooled. We need to get ready and be prepared.โ
The Cancel Culture
Graham said believers in the United States are โliving in a cancel culture that wants to destroy Christian organizations,โ adding that โwe cannot back up, we canโt retreat, donโt apologize for the Gospel โ just declare it, just preach it.โ
โThey want us to shut our mouths; they donโt want to hear from us. If you’re not going to preach the Gospel, you don’t have anything to worry about,โ he said.
“We’re living in a cancel culture, and [big corporations] want to destroyย Christian organizations,” he continued.
Graham urged Christian organizations to prepare to defend themselves against the growing cancel culture in business, insurance, banking, and technology and challenged them to continue sharing the hope of Jesus Christย in the face of increasingly difficult circumstances.
“If you’re going to try to proclaim the gospel, they’re going to try to shut you up.”
Noting that if one “doesnโt talk about sin” or “preach the gospel,” then that person doesnโt have anything to worry about in society, he added, “But if you’re going to try to proclaim the gospel, they’re going to try to shut you up.”
Confusion and Lies from Hell
The Rev. Franklin Graham has told Liberty University graduates that the nation is being dominated by a โculture of confusion and lies,โ which come โfrom Hell.โ
During his remarks, he told graduates that he prayed that โthis class will stand for truth,โ noting that โour world is changing.โ
โIt has changed so much, just in the time since you set foot on this campus a few years ago,โ said Graham. โThink how much it has changed. The increase in violence, the moral decline.โ
โI canโt help but think that the heart of God is grieved as He looks at our world today. Our country. Oh, I love our country, but it’s in a downward spiral morally, spiritually, economically, politically.โ
Graham went on to say that he believed the nation was โin a freefallโ because the country had โturned our back on God and His truth,โ urging the graduates to be a โbeacon of light,โย โstanding on the Word of Godโ while living in โa culture of confusion and lies.โ
Rev. Graham declared that โthe Bible doesnโt contain truth, it is the truth,โ adding that โevery Word of God is trueโ and that โtruth is not what you say it is, truth is what God says it is.โ
Graham quotedย John 14:6, โJesus answered, โI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me,โโ explaining to those gathered that โJesus is not a way to God, He is the way to God.โ
The Culture Lies from Hell
โMany churches today have compromised on the authority and truth of Godโs holy word. Many of our politicians and leaders have bought into the lies of culture and the woke ideology,โ Graham warned.
โThe world wants you to believe that we are more than just male and female, that we can be transgender, whatever we choose to identify as. Thatโs a lie. Itโs just a lie from Hell.โ
โThe world wants you to believe that abortion is OK; that it’s a womanโs choice. Itโs a lie…Itโs a choice, but it’s murder. Itโs a sin.โ
โWhere does all this come from? It comes from Hell. It comes from Satan. Heโs the author, and heโs the father of lies. You see, the world wants you to sit down and shut up. No, donโt you do that? I want you to stand up, to shout out, to lift up your voice, to lift up the truth.
