He’s a man of God. He holds sway with The Almighty, The Power. It is an allusion that man has power. If people would realize that it is God who decides what happens and doesn’t, often based upon our faith as Christians and the decisions we make in life, people would live far different lives. I hope he is the beginning of an avalanche of faithful, God inspired decisions from the people of God.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Frankly, Franklin seems to be a bit wooden in approach compared with his famous dad Billy.
The Lord can use even this, a wooden gospel is better than no gospel, but it’s up to Franklin how far he actually goes with the Lord.
When looking at Old Testament parallels, I believe it is wise to remember that this was a teaching phase to mankind, when the meaning of Christ had not yet been presented on the blackboard, as it were. The parallel here might be better taken as the “land” of American Christendom as a whole. It needs to understand where love fits in God’s plan, because the basic eternal commands are to accept God’s love and return it to God both directly and through your neighbors. And love in turn was shown on the Cross.
I could soapbox all day but that would be ridiculous. I have other stuff to do. Ciao, and God bless you all.
Thanks for that.
Also, maybe Rev Graham’s gesture will wake more up to the truth of what their government has come to represent.
