Rev. (Franklin) Graham: America is 'Morally Crumbling Within ... We Have Turned Our Back on God'

(CNSNews.com) – Reverend Franklin Graham said he did not know whether President Barack Obama dislikes America, as “America’s Mayor” Rudy Giuliani stated last week, but Graham said it is true that Obama “defends Islam and chastises Christians,” denies the “religious freedoms” of those who oppose abortion and gay marriage, and added that our nation is “morally crumbling within” and that “we have turned our back on God.”

“Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has taken a lot of heat from the media for his remark that he's not sure if President Obama really loves America,” said Rev. Graham in a Feb. 24 Facebook post.

“I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that the president defends Islam and chastises Christians, rebukes our allies and befriends our enemies, and fully supports gay marriages and abortion but denies the religious freedoms of those who don't agree,” said the reverend, who oversees the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

“Our nation is ridiculed abroad and morally crumbling within,” he said. “We are in trouble. We have turned our back on God.”

At a private dinner gathering on Feb. 18 at the 21 Club in New York City, Giuliani, a Republican, said “I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America.”

” Perhaps most honor God with their mouths, but not in their hearts.”

This is a tough one to prove or disprove. Urban dwellers, primarily on the B(east) coast are losing it. Elsewhere, religious people abound. Flyover country is much bigger than the leftist MSM would ever admit to. We do need a PUBLIC revival soon.

I would reccomend Freepers read:The Harbinger and the Mystery of the Shemitah by Rabbi Jonathon Cahn. It shows how according to Old Testament we are under the same principles of following God as ancient Israel was and we have failed so we are under judgement. 911 was a wake up call to repentence and it did not happen. I think you will find it intresting to say the least

No matter what the devil tries to do .. GOD is always ready and willing to receive a new believer.

However, we must recognize the times we are living in and choose which path we are going to take.

There is a storm coming .. and the whole world is going to see GOD perform the most awesome of miracles .. which will launch the world into the final harvest.

I’m praying for people to be ready.

If God will be behind it (and He will be), the collapse will be spectacular, deep, and profound. After all, He is God Almighty.

A large percentage of high school/college aged kiddos believe homosexuality is an accepted lifestyle. The Almighty is a thing of the past for many.

Climate change, Greenie weenies, animal rights orgs like PETA, Sierra Club, Greenpeace worship the world/animals.

Secular humanism mixed with a tad of Hinduism, Atheism, world citizen ideology.

satan has been hard at work attacking the church “from within”, perverting the family unit, promoting alternative lifestyles, using ungodly men to strip God from society, marginalize the divinity of Jesus the Messiah.

“We have turned our backs on God.”

Nowhere is that more evident than the election of Obama ... twice.

Actually, the first chapter of the Book of Romans says that God has brought judgment to our nation. Verse 18 to the end of the book mirrors the daily headlines in America.

The passage specifically states that God has placed a reprobate mind--a spiritual state in which minds that are incapable of understanding godly Truth and Spiritual Standards--in many people.

One test for the reprobate mind is: "I don't understand how the Bible could say that."

It’s always held in bounds by the Lord such that all promises are valid. Whosoever will remains whosoever will.

Everybody, but everybody, came off the Fall with a reprobate mind so we ought to be very careful about patting ourselves on the back. We might bust our arms.

We got a pride problem. We don’t want God’s love. We think our self love is quite sufficient.

he's precisely right....personal morality is the foundation of public and civic morality...

so IMO using porn to "get off" or whatever term is used shows absolute disdain for women, for children and mostly for God...yet we'll have the "conservatives" and "patriots" saying its no big deal....

it goes along with our low birth rate....so many people hate children, think they're an inconvenient burden, don't want them on planes or in restaurants or movie house...don't want them at weddings...

we've become a hateful, selfish society of adults with no sense of our duties to God, family, and country...

you know, if people had half as many children as our parents did, we wouldn't be having this illegal immigration crap going on....there would be no jobs or houses for them....

but alas....we've been too busy to think about the future.
