Franklin Graham

Mikey,

I am very disappointed that you asked for the invitation to Franklin Graham’s speaking engagement at the Pentagon to be revoked. Your organization says its mission is to make sure religious freedom is not suppressed in the military, yet this very humble, honorable, man was denied his right to speak and pray at this engagement. I was very privileged to hear Franklin speak in our area. Thousands attended the event, and were not disappointed. His message has always been one of the love of God, forgiveness, and redemption. At this time in history, with our troops in harm’s way, and unrest across the world, this message of hope is exactly what would have encouraged those that would have heard him.

Also, Franklin, as a father of a man in the military, should have been encouraged to come and present that message of hope to those that serve our country.

When Franklin made the comment in 2001, we were experiencing Islamic terrorism. Islam is a faith that encourages death to those that don’t believe in their religion. You really need to do a fact check and find out who is a threat to whom.

Well, God will take care of it all in the end, and His purpose prevails. My prayer is the same as Franklin’s- that you know the Lord Jesus, find redemption, and faith in God.
