The wisdom you provided us, Brother Dknow, about Brother Graham a while back is even more relevant today. Just now, Rev. Graham announced a preaching tour in, of all places, England. That socialist atheist country needs a message about its sin. Pastor Zeke goes there often and blasts a message about the coming fire. Rev. Graham however, is billing his preaching schedule as the GOD LOVES YOU tour.

Graham needs to cancel. He needs to read this thread on our site: God Hates England - The Landover Baptist Church Forum

Franklin Graham returning to the UK for 'God Loves You' Tour | World

Perhaps, dear Brother Mayor Hold, Reverend Graham is returning to -bound England to continue the work that his dear father had started. Goodness knows that Billy Graham tried his very best to get the old Queen to be saved from her sins, even though she brazenly laughed in his face!

Psalm 105:15 "Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm."



It's little wonder that Queen Elizabeth 2 is writhing in right now — rejecting a servant of Almighty does require a hefty price to be paid!

Much better to help drive away the root cause of their wars, hurricanes, famines, etc.--the devastating effects of sin. If they would just be more like us white Christians, God wouldn't need to keep punishing them.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

People who don't believe in God, or follow false gods, are very obstinate. An effective missionary presence can even enhance that; from Graham's "Decision" magazine:

https://decisionmagazine.com/five-key-revivals/

The Church’s first great revival occurred when 3,000 Jews came to Christ on the day of Pentecost … Since the early 1700s, God has brought about a number of notable revivals … Perhaps the most remarkable revival has taken place in China since the last missionaries left in 1953. In 1980 there were 2 million Christian believers in China–and by 2000 there were approximately 75 million. God chose to have the missionaries removed before the explosive growth occurred, that He might receive the glory.

I've highlighted salient portions throughout – but am uncertain how that growth is determined? As in most commie regimes, just asking the question is a good way to volunteer for brain experiments. His charity does have a field hospital where patients can be confident the chaplain providing care does not have too broad a definition of marriage. It can be so embarrassing refusing treatment in field hospitals not having mandatory statements of faith for volunteers to sign.

https://www.nbcnews.com/

policies require most contractors and some full-time volunteers to sign a statement of faith that includes a declaration that “we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.” … A. Timothy Lunceford-Stevens, said he has filed a complaint with [New York] Human Rights Commission after he tried to volunteer at the field hospital but was turned away because he refused to sign the statement of faith.

https://decisionmagazine.com/franklin-graham-pray-for-ukraine/

We have been responding in the Name of Jesus Christ. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has been on the ground, sending crisis-trained chaplains to offer spiritual and emotional help and also training pastors and church leaders. Samaritan’s Purse has sent planeloads of relief supplies to the region, including an Emergency Field Hospital

Appropriate crisis training is so important, in this dynamic environment. Obviously God has not chosen to remove missionaries here. The piece explains about earthquakes in various places and nation rising up against nation. Civil war is not mentioned specifically but there are places where tribes are chopping one another up and usually shooting the farmers too, eliminating workforce and expertise in one fell swoop, so famines take off even in once productive breadbaskets. In the face of so much evidence, how can there be any pushback against prophecy?

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-human-beast/201603/why-are-major-wars-declining

War between major powers is going out of style … This decline has been nearly continuous, with each century experiencing fewer great power wars than the previous one, the only exception being the upturn in the twentieth century. There were twenty-two great power wars in the sixteenth century, eleven in the seventeenth century, eight in the eighteenth century, five in the nineteenth century, and six in the twentieth century … about 20 percent of the half-decades since 1815 have witnessed the initiation of a great power war, compared with nearly 60 percent in the previous three centuries.

Of course, the upturn in the twentieth century involved not just an increase in the number of wars, but also in their scale and lethality. The two world wars of the 20th century were each larger than any conflict ever seen previously reflecting industrialization of warfare in terms of weapons production and logistics.

The decline of major wars in the nineteenth century surely reflected the increased costs of engagements … taken to an extreme during the Cold War where … both sides busied themselves with building up weapons arsenals that would never be used. According to the bizarre logic of the time, military forces and weaponry were most useful if they were never used at all.

Bringing food, tents, and other emergency supplies to a devastated country just encourages the residents to rely on handouts. This culture of dependency is ruining all of the sh*thole countries of the world. Much better to help drive away the root cause of their wars, hurricanes, famines, etc.--the devastating effects of sin. If they would just be more like us white Christians, God wouldn't need to keep punishing them.

Franklin Graham: Easter is about more than just egg hunts | Church & Ministries News (christianpost.com)

I was encouraged by your report but wonder how someone goes about preaching a pre-recorded sermon?

As thousands have reportedly died and over 11 million have been displaced from their homes since the invasion began at the end of February, the 69-year-old Graham preached his pre-recorded Easter sermon from Lviv in western Ukraine.

[Johny Joe Hold]

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

I was relieved to learn Franklin Graham stuck to his Godly principles when giving his Easter Sunday sermon in Ukraine. It was my hope he would not bring food, tents and clothing to those who have defied Putin. On other trips to tragic world events like Haiti and Afghanistan he preached the evil of sin. Thank you, Jesus, he preached about sin yesterday in Ukraine.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

Franklin and his bus entourage will be moving down Old Route 66. They will have nightly revival meetings in cities along the way. He will start where Route 66 starts in Chicago. Look for him coming to your city--you will hear about sin.

Must be a real Fire-'n'-Brimstone hellfire revival if he's going down Route 666 and starting in Chicago, the spawning ground of Hillary "Satanist Bulldyke Bitch" Clinton. I always hated that bipartisan cuck Billy Graham (currently getting raped up the ass by demons in Hell) going around giving Christianity a bad name and misrepresenting Jesus and the Holy Bible with his putrid fluffy bunny self help gospel. Kudos to Franklin Graham for actually spreading what the Bible actually says about faggots, non-Christians (such as Democrats and Muslims), and other worthless disgusting vermin, hated by God.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ... Ephesians 6:5

Ephesians is always encouraging for me. In verse five, a comparison is drawn with Christ highlighting what "Godfearing" means. It does involve respect, yes, and a willingness to follow His commandments but also to be frightened. It's not some special "magic" sort of fear having an esoteric meaning only senior clergymen would understand. The abject servant is very obviously frightened, even to the point of trembling before its owner in the flesh. God made sure the language was unambiguous because it's being used as a model for our understanding of Christ.

And God is consistent. This is not just Paul being unreasonable, as critics represent him; recently I've been reading Peter's epistles which were written to a much broader audience than Ephesians. In the first letter, Peter identifies strangers† living in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, quite a big area; his second letter is addressed to them that have obtained faith‡ through the righteousness of God and Jesus Christ, again a very broad category. Like Paul, Peter also mentions the slave status.

I Peter 2:18-20 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

It's sometimes claimed the reference to "servants" is not actually about slaves but employed staff, such as a butler or a cook. That is a frivolous claim however because whether an employee or a slave, the work environment is sufficiently arduous to frighten the individual and induce trembling (which is quite an advanced stage) or in Peter's case, one where buffeting is appropriate for mistakes——spilling the soup, say——and moreover suffering inflicted when the wretched servant has done well. Whether a paid chef, a well-remunerated majordomo or a bought-and-paid-for slave makes zero difference. It's the master's birthday. You've made a cake he loves, perhaps buying the ingredients out of your own pocket, and he is so pleased. "[Name of servant] that is one fine cake," he says. Everyone gets a slice and they all enjoy it. That's called doing well. But what would please God? The fact that everyone was happy? Or for the master to inflict suffering as a reward for the cake, a wicked beating right there in front of everyone, utter humiliation.

This is spelled out just so we'd know what was being referred to: being frightened, trembling all over, wrongful punishment or deserved buffeting, unjust suffering inflicted for doing well, that's what's acceptable to God. So often when fake churches make up a different Gospel I worry that in doing so they're making themselves unacceptable to God and depriving their congregations of His Perfect Love.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

There was a wonderful news release today from Franklin Graham. While the rest of the evangelical community is hand wringing about Haiti and Afghanistan, Franklin is seizing an opportunity. No one else to doing nightly evangelical events so he has it all to himself.

Franklin and his bus entourage will be moving down Old Route 66. They will have nightly revival meetings in cities along the way. He will start where Route 66 starts in Chicago. Look for him coming to your city--you will hear about sin.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

Earthquakes are always striking sin-heavy zones that thumb their noses at God and the Bible. California, Haiti, Japan. Those coons just violated Romans 13:1 by gunning down their HNIC, so maybe that was why God shook them up. They haven't let up their rampant voodoo, fornication, coonery, thuggery, and laziness one bit since Jesus smashed the hell out of the place a decade ago. They literally share a small island with the Dominican Republic, but it's always Haiti that God pinpoints for His seismic wrath.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

Once again, those heathens are looking for hard working decent people to give them new beach front homes.
I asked Miss Cookie wo give me a list of all the people from that Godless country that have provided any support for LBC. Not-a-single-one.
Take, take, take. No giving. God sends messages to people. Seems to me that haters are going to hate, hate. hate. Where is their compassion for those struggling Pastors living a meager existence on what small stipend afforded them.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

Brother Mayor, I hear the heavy burden of leadership weighing on your soul. I can suggest physical remedies for temporary relief, but long term what Haiti really needs is fresh young men filled with the Holy Spirit to go over there and get down to the serious business of saving every soul one at a time. Or two on occasion.
Look at Pastor Zeke, for example. After all those years as a missionary in Japan he still has an insatiable appetite for the orientals, it's unnatural.

When we send our Pastors overseas to save souls there are always busy bodies whispering about what really takes place. Pastor Zeke saves the souls of young men and women, period. Pictures prove the most beautiful of them is most appreciative of his message. Personally, I think there are young people in Haiti who await Pastor Zeke:

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

It is the responsibility of Haitians to rid the island of those demons. Our pastors could help, but if Haitians themselves don't care why bother. Good luck to Franklin in his efforts to rid them of sin. I pessimistic on Haitians getting rid of demons.

It really is sad how few people understand the value of slavery and the role that it plays in salvation.

Brother Pat was right on target when he spoke of the demons that infest Haiti. It is the responsibility of Haitians to rid the island of those demons. Our pastors could help, but if Haitians themselves don't care why bother. Good luck to Franklin in his efforts to rid them of sin. I pessimistic on Haitians getting rid of demons.

Re: Pray that Franklin Graham Brings no Gifts for Haitians

The Haitians need to repent of the deal they cut with the Devil to escape from slavery. The Bible tells us that slaves should serve their masters:

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ... Ephesians 6:5

But the Haitians were not content with the perfect life as slaves that God bestowed upon them. So they made a pact with Satan to get free. Now God is punishing them with poverty and starvation and earthquakes and diseases and death.

Until the Haitians turn away from their sinful lives and return to bondage under their French slave masters, they will continue to live in squalor.

It really is sad how few people understand the value of slavery and the role that it plays in salvation.
