Rev. Franklin Graham: School board member is 'most important elected official' in America today
Categories: US Education News
Speaking to Fox News Digital exclusively in a telephone interview late last week and then via emailed comments on Monday, Rev. Franklin Graham, CEO and president of Samaritan's Purse and CEO and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, talked about the great need of Americans to turn to God today.
The Christian leader also noted the importance of elected office in communities across America — as, increasingly, concerned parents take a stand against a culture that does not embrace biblical values."Our educators have taken God out of schools. Our politicians have taken God out of politics. Our nation is not better [for it]. Our nation is worse," he said.
FRANKLIN GRAHAM ON EASTER: ‘OUR ONLY HOPE IS GOD’
Graham added, "Individuals don't have any idea how to come clean. They do not know what in all actuality. It simply appears to be that we go from awful to more regrettable," he said.That is the reason, he said in convincing remarks, "the main expectation is God. Only God can turn this nation around," he said.Rev. Graham added, "We have become so violent. Our entertainment is so violent.
God judged this world with a flood. He flooded the entire earth — and one of the reasons is because mankind had become so wicked and the world so violent. And look at how violent we are today."He continued, "Our entertainment industry pushes violence. It pushes sex. And the Hollywood people come out against guns — yet they take guns and they glorify them."
He also said, "We’re so twisted. And I hope that our nation would wake up and see the problems we’ve facing and realize the only hope is God.""We need Christian men and women on school boards who can take control of their communities," he said. "The entirety of this junk and this rottenness that the left is all pushing on our understudies — that can be convoluted assuming Christian people ran for school boards."
"Just analyze your heart, and in the event that there's something not squarely in your life, admit it to God and request his forgiveness."It is excessively simple to point fingers and take a gander at others and what they're doing, he recommended. "We really want to take a gander at our own lives," he said. "We're heathens."
He added, "I don’t tell people who to vote for, but I am encouraging anyone who wants to take a stand for what’s right to vote for biblical values on November 8."Graham continued, "This is a critical time for our nation. Issues like abortion and sexuality and gender are being politicized like never before, but these are moral issues that the Bible is clear on.
Despite the fact that the right to speak freely of discourse and religion are enduring an onslaught — as Christians, we actually reserve a privilege to be clear about our convictions." Franklin Graham has regularly empowered people all through the years to be related with their close by instructive councils — and he as of late posted by means of virtual diversion about "the dangers of essential race speculation that is being pushed in our schools and society."
He in like manner actually returned from Ukraine, where his affiliation, Samaritan's Travel bag, is helping many ousted Ukrainians with their most sincere necessities, similar to food and drug, amidst the Russia-Ukraine war. Samaritan's Purse has been operating six medical sites across Ukraine — one emergency field hospital and five clinics, noted Graham.
