BGEA Responds as More UK Venues Cancel Franklin Graham: 'We are Pursuing Actions Based on Religious Discrimination'
CBN News ^ | 2/5/2020 | Steve Warren

After facing discrimination in the UK because of his biblical beliefs, a spokesman for Franklin Graham tells CBN News they have decided to fight in court for their religious rights there.

"Since the original venues have broken our legal contract with them, we are pursuing appropriate actions based on grounds of religious discrimination and freedom of speech. The Gospel always faces opposition, so we will prayerfully and boldly continue to press forward so that the Good News of God's love and forgiveness will be proclaimed in all of the cities we have planned to visit," the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) spokesman told CBN News.

PRAY for Franklin Graham, who unashamedly preaches the GOOD NEWS wherever he goes.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! ~ Isaiah 52:7

The people should push back. It’s the only way to stop this nonsense.

If he tries going to Asia, he’ll now find his venues closed off, all of them, and it won’t have anything to do with religious persecution. Maybe the same here within a month...we shall see.

So if you don’t kiss the Muzzies a$$es, forget about freedom of speech.

I had the pleasure of singing in the Billy Graham Crusade MANY years ago.

At the time, Franklin was kind of in rebellion against his Dad’s Faith, and a cause of great sorrow and prayer.

Now the Prodigal Son has come home and may eventually make an even bigger impact for the Gospel than his wonderful father did.

For those Christian parents who struggle with wayward children, be encouraged by one of the most miraculous stories of our present day.

The UK is lost. All we are seeing are the death throes.

If you don’t agree with militant LGBQ.. If you believe marriage is between one man and one woman.. they will shut you down with the help of the Radical Left. Never give in to Sinfulness.. Stand up for Our Lord and Savior.. Always.
