Franklin Graham: The Power of the Gospel

For far too long, the world has been haunted by Iran’s bully threats of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” Republican and Democrat administrations alike have vowed, for decades, that Iran should never possess a nuclear weapon. And finally, an American president took decisive action. President Trump sent out B-2 stealth bombers to drop bunker-busting bombs on Iran’s entrenched nuclear facilities. As President Trump announced the successful raid, he humbly acknowledged and thanked God: “I want to just thank everybody, in particular, God. I want to just say we love You, God, and we love our great military. Protect […]

Franklin Graham: Proclaiming Christ in the Nation’s Capital

President Trump’s Holy Week proclamation announced to America and to the world that he and First Lady Melania Trump were, in these exact words, “celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ — the living Son of God.” You can’t get any clearer than that. This came in contrast to President Biden’s declaration last year that Easter Sunday be recognized as “Trans Visibility Day.” That was shameful. We thank God for bringing this kind of change so quickly.  It was encouraging to see the White House Faith Office hold events throughout the week in observance of […]

Franklin Graham: The Gospel—A Matter of Life or Death

During the Vietnam War, Ronald Reagan spoke about why Americans must treasure their freedom: “Freedom is a fragile thing, and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction.” Similarly, Christians must contend for the faith in every generation. God has entrusted us with the responsibility to go “make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19) and to be His light “for salvation to the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47). That’s why I am so excited that more than a thousand pastors and ministry leaders from nearly 60 European countries gathered in Berlin, Germany, May 27-30, to recommit themselves […]

Franklin Graham: Preaching the Timeless Message of the Gospel

As I write this, I have just finished preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to more than 430,000 people gathered in Meskel Square in the city center of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. I praise God for the thousands who repented of their sins and professed their faith in Jesus Christ during the two-day Encountering God outreach. Sixty-five years ago, my father preached the same Gospel message of faith and repentance in Christ in this same Ethiopian capital. Since then, the world has changed, politics have changed, but the Gospel does not change. It’s the same yesterday, […]

Franklin Graham: Blessed Is the Nation Whose God Is the Lord

The horrific images are seared in my mind from my visit several weeks ago to Southern California following the devastating wildfires that killed more than two dozen residents and destroyed $250 billion worth of property. Street after street, mile after mile, nothing remains among the ashes except a few chimneys and some other charred remnants where houses, schools and businesses once stood in the Eaton and Pacific Palisades fire disaster areas.  Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains have been there ministering to displaced residents, firefighters and the entire community. Pray for these families as they try to determine whether or […]

Franklin Graham: When Good Is Evil and Evil Is Good

As President Donald J. Trump begins his second term in the Oval Office, he faces a number of urgent challenges on the international and domestic fronts, and he certainly will need God’s wisdom to deal with them. There is, of course, the longstanding war in Ukraine, where the conflict has now entered its fourth year. There have been tens of thousands of deaths on both sides and many more wounded and injured. President Trump is keen on ending the war and bringing about an acceptable peace, but it won’t be easy. Domestically, a number of issues demand his attention and […]

Franklin Graham: Pray for Donald J. Trump

On Jan. 20, Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. Trump became only the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms. He received more than 77 million votes — the most ever by a Republican candidate — as voters expressed concern that our nation is in trouble.  Voters rejected the far-left liberal political agenda of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris that championed abortion rights, same-sex marriage and transgender advocacy, and created a legal and political atmosphere that was hostile to Biblical principles and Christian values.  The incoming administration has promised […]

Franklin Graham: Until Jesus Comes, We Have Our Marching Orders

We witnessed one of the greatest political comebacks in U.S. history as Donald J. Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States, becoming only the second president ever to win two non-consecutive terms. When President-elect Trump is sworn in to the White House on Jan. 20, he will have a majority in the U.S. Senate and quite possibly in the U.S. House of Representatives, though that was too close to call at press time.  In his victory speech, President Trump pointedly referenced the assassination attempts: “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason,” […]

Franklin Graham: Pray Fervently for Our Nation

American voters have decided decisively who will be the next president of the United States. Congratulations to Donald J. Trump on being elected the 47th president of the United States. I pray that you will look to God every day for His guidance and wisdom. Months of election primaries, campaign rallies, political advertisements, nominating conventions, candidate endorsements, debates, press conferences and media interviews have finally culminated in citizens voting for Trump to return to the White House as the nation’s commander-in-chief.  Voters also elected candidates for Congress as well as governor, state legislators and local school boards even while approving […]
