FRANKLIN GRAHAM - SAY IT ISN\'T SO FRANKY

Yup, Yup! Rev. Franklin Graham got himself disinvited to the National Day of Prayer at the Pentagon! Say it isn't so Franky! However, in all seriousness, at least I respect the man for sticking to what he truly believes. Let me begin by stating that I respect and admire both Billy and Franklin Graham for their endless commitment to serving God. In saying that, I believe that the comments he made were a little short sited. Yes, the Islamic religion does have a rather violent twist (ok, hurricane twist) to it but they could easily say the Christian religion has a rather violent past itself. Yes, I am a Christian in case anyone should wonder. However, I embrace the truth since my Father is Truth amongst many other positive dominants things.

You have a lot of so called Christians roaming around here professing their faith, but yet they're failing to take care of the Father's store house. America is a Christian Nation and the Christians within it are giving away what God had entrusted to them. Unfortunately, there are a lot of dressed up, articulate, intelligent, entertaining and charismatic preachers that are very good at reaching deep into peoples pockets and sending them home both spiritually and financially broke. It has become a huge business, and becoming a hot mega preacher has correlated into a good paying prospect. For foot ball, it is the super ball and for preaching it is TBN. Hey, I am not saying TBN is bad. In fact, it is wonderful and does serve God's purpose. However, nothing we do is perfect and just like big corporations, there are always politics within it and along the line bad decisions are made. Even when it's bad, God uses it for good. In short, we need to give Franky a break here. He is a man of great conviction and faith. Who among us is without fault? Let me answer. None of us is without fault. It is a shame what our military brass did and serves as a perfect example of what we are becoming as a country. May God help us all.
