Defense Department Expulsion
Franklin Graham, son of Evangelist Billy Graham has been disinvited from the DefenseDepartment National Day of Prayer for simply making an observation regarding the theology and practice of Islam. Interestingly this was made years ago. He rightly makes the distinction between the Muslim people and their religious doctrines.
This should alarm and outrage everyone, not just Christians.
First, these leaders represent mainstream Christianity.
Second, their disinvitations were because of their faith/morality consistant with traditional Christianity.
Third, Franklin Graham is the second of high profile Christian leaders persecuted for their faith. Previously, Tony Perkins from the Family Research Council was disinvited.
Fourth, I personally experienced this same type treatment. When I made a presenation to the
DefenseDepartment on human trafficking I voiced my support for Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. I was told that because of that my presentation was edited from the DVD and I was not given a copy. I am now proceeding with a Freedom of Information Act request.
Fifth, the ominous forboding of things to come: Our nation has degenerated from honoring the Reverend Billy Graham, who prayed with Presidents to discriminating against his son who simply affirmed the Christian heritage and constitutional rights of Americans.
Sixth, Warning: Christians need to take profound notice to the growing hostility to Christianity and Christians by some government policies. In a news brief from ONE NEWS NOW, April 26, 2010, of the American Family Association it said.
“One Pentagon advisor says that rejection wouldn’t have happened while
George W. Bush was in the White House.”
We need to let our voices known to our U.S. Senators, Congressmen/women and President Obama
Seventh, prophesy fulfilled. Late but not too late: We are seeing the continual unfolding of the hostility against Christianity and traditional American values. This is a fulfillment of prophesy after the Soviet Union fell. The word was that the spirit of anti-christ which used communism in the eastern block was exorcised and looking for a new home. It found one in America. This is only the beginning…..unless Americans and people of faith stand up.
