The Breitbart Interview With Franklin Graham: The Government ‘Has Marginalized the Church’
Breitbart | Jan 6, 2016
Franklin Graham, CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, tells Breitbart News the government in the United States: federal, state and local, “has marginalized the church.”
The Breitbart News interview with Graham comes one day after he launched his 50 state “Decision America 2016” tour on the steps of the State Capitol in Des Moines, Iowa. Graham’s goal is to encourage Christians to participate in the political process this election cycle by voting for candidates who support Biblical values and by considering their own run for office.
“We have removed God from the political process,” Graham tells Breitbart News.
“One hundred years ago, pastors were the political leaders in the community,” Graham says.

He is right. But then I know what this article will spawn. All those who jump on the anti-Christian bandwagon. Theocracy will be the buzzword. Never mind how this ‘slander the Christians’ campaign is working out, over the years. But now there is a new band leader with Obama out front chastising Chrisitians every chance he gets.
I see what Graham is saying, but on the other hand where are the other Christian leaders who are not speaking out about how Christians are being persecuted in this country. They need to stand up!

Great point. It is time someone said something though. There’s been silence.

Yes it was time to say something and I’m glad Graham did. At least he had the courage to do so.

LIke you I don’t know where those voices are of leaders, and the ongoing persecution. I guess he will remind some, maybe wake some others up. But so far its been too quiet about what’s been going on.

Too quiet is right. Dead silence! Are they afraid to speak up?
