FRANKLIN GRAHAM CHIDES CHRISTIANITY TODAY FOR USING FATHER’S NAME IN CALL FOR TRUMP REMOVAL
Celebrated evangelical pastor Franklin Graham revealed Friday his father, Billy Graham, voted for Donald J. Trump in 2016 because he believed he was the best man for the job.
“My father knew Donald Trump, he believed in Donald Trump, and he voted for Donald Trump,” Graham wrote on Facebook early Friday. “He believed that Donald J. Trump was the man for this hour in history for our nation.”
Rev. Franklin Graham was responding to an article that appeared Thursday in Christianity Today — a magazine founded by “America’s pastor” Billy Graham — declaring that President Trump should be removed from office.
Since “they invoked my father’s name (I suppose to try to bring legitimacy to their statements),” Rev. Graham wrote, “I feel it is important for me to respond.”. . .
Rev. Graham then proceeded to offer his own searing indictment of the behavior of House Democrats in their “politically motivated, 100% partisan” impeachment of the president. . .
“I know a number of Republicans in Congress, and many of them are strong Christians,” he declared. “If the President were guilty of what the Democrats claimed, these Republicans would have joined with the Democrats to impeach him. But the Democrats were not even unanimous—two voted against impeachment and one voted present.”
“This impeachment was politically motivated, 100% partisan. Why would Christianity Today choose to take the side of the Democrat left whose only goal is to discredit and smear the name of a sitting president?” Graham asked. “They want readers to believe the Democrat leadership rather than believe the President of the United States.”
Rev. Graham next offered a tally of some of the president’s accomplishments, asking rhetorically why Christianity Today had not bothered to take them into consideration.
“Look at all the President has accomplished in a very short time,” he wrote. “The economy of our nation is the strongest it has been in 50 years, ISIS & the caliphate have been defeated, and the President has renegotiated trade deals to benefit all Americans.”
“The list of accomplishments is long, but for me as a Christian, the fact that he is the most pro-life president in modern history is extremely important — and Christianity Today wants us ignore that, to say it doesn’t count?” he continued. “The President has been a staunch defender of religious freedom at home and around the world — and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that? Also the President has appointed conservative judges in record number — and Christianity Today wants us to ignore that?”
The evangelical leader then moved into discuss the real motivation behind Christianity Today’s hit piece on the president.
“Christianity Today said it’s time to call a spade a spade,” he wrote. “The spade is this — Christianity Today has been used by the left for their political agenda. It’s obvious that Christianity Today has moved to the left and is representing the elitist liberal wing of evangelicalism.”
“Is President Trump guilty of sin?” Graham concludes. “Of course he is, as were all past presidents and as each one of us are, including myself. Therefore, let’s pray for the President as he continues to lead the affairs of our nation.”

Dear Mr Graham, Thank You for speaking out against Christianity Today. I was very disappointed when I had heard they went against Trump. I pray that Christians will fall away from any support of such a magazine for it no longer represents the body of Christ. I find it difficult to understand how anyone who considers themselves a Christian can team with a pollical party that evocates abortion at all much less to full term. May the Lord bring his cleansing light into this situation that the truth would be heard and seen.
Lord God, we Intercesors for America rebuke the thoughts and words that Mark Galli wrote in the Magazine Christianity Today. Please convict him of his erroneous views and show him how he has actually distanced himself from Jesus with his self righteous attitude.
But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48.
we pray in Jesus Name.
I think “Christianity Today” forgot their true purpose and their true mission. Guess What? I forgive them! After all the criticism, I think the Holy Spirit will use that to make them more aware of what they do and publish. Christ said, “If you are without sin, you may cast the first stone!” I don’t know about you, I have sin in my life and in desperate need of a Savior who is Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas!
Someone told me that George Soros bought the magazine to use as his mouthpiece. The writers and editors will have to answer to God for this.
I concur with all Rev Graham has to say about his father, about himself, about Christianity Today, and about the state if the Democrat party. In a nutshell, ‘me think the Demos protest too much. They have done absolutely NO THING except persecute and malign a duly elected president since 4 Nov 2016. Listen please: it’s not a Russian/Ukraine thing [were they part of your plans? That is what I suspect] It’s a GOD thing!
God bless you Rev. Franklin Graham. With you all the way on all your comments and articles. I stand firm . Ephesians 6:13
Will be at your Rally’s in Florida.
In Christ Love,

In 2018 Mr. Gallo wrote, “I consider people like me as elite evangelicals.” He went on to scorn others who didn’t think like him. I am wondering how a person with these attitudes was ever chosen to be the editor of a Christian magazine.
Father God, we need Your help so desperately! We have been praying that You cleanse our government of corruption, but we must also ask that You cleanse Your Church in America.
Correct, discipline, and rebuke as You deem necessary. We do not want anyone to be deceived.
Have mercy, shine Your light brightly so that Your people clearly see the path they are to walk.
We pray in the Name of Jesus, the Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
AMEN!! AMEN!! I agree.
But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48. Lord thank you for your Word that admonishes us and help us keep our eyes on You. Glory be to you Lord!! In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Pray for Unity in the Bride of Christ. That she have no spots or wrinkles when Jesus presents us to the Father.
Francis Frangipane had a good post yesterday, “Angry, Angry”. A well worth read.
Noah spent 120 years of day-to-day obedience building the Ark, which preserved mankind and brought judgement to the former world. Jesus tells us in the end it will be like the days of Noah.
Jesus also tells His disciples that the world will know that He is, by the disciples Love for one another. The Christian litmus test in a nutshell! So is the Ark of our lives floating or sinking in our day? Will we endure in Love or be swallowed up in all the rancor we hear and see around us?
James asks a great question to the Church, “What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you?” Spots and wrinkles?
Jesus wants to purify His Bride, if we let Him. His Kingdom is not of this world. He controls every conversation along the Narrow Road, and His Cross guides us as we go.
Unfortunately the actions of Mark Galli, as a mouthpiece for a magazine, is indeed the epitome of its namesake, Chritianity Today. By usurping the word Christianity, the hope is to persuade, pervade and pervert the cost of salvation at the hands of our Lord and Savior. A blemish is on this magazine for embracing the ideologies of embedded imposters who seek to steal, kill and destroy humanity at the hands of the great deceiver. Get your discernment on folks. Christianity Today, the magazine, is the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Thank u Franklin! It’s time the church wake up an speak up for what’s right! 2nd Chronicles 7:14 says if My people(Gods) who r called by My name will humble themselves an pray an seek My face an turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven an I will forgive their sins an heal their land.
Church! The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence an violent men take it by force. Let’s take back everything the devil has taken from us for the Kingdom sake!
AMEN Brother Franklin!! This is called ‘RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION’… looks like the left got to them too, as well as Hallmark, Chick Fil A, and now Christianity Today! This is truly a foretaste of what’s to come. We must continue to strap on Gods armor and battle on our knees in the Holy Spirit🙏
Amen.
I thank God for you , Pastor Franklin . I shall stand with you and with President Trump . I agree with all you have said . God is at work just like He did in the past . He is doing much more to day to show His power and glory even through evil.
Listen to what God said to Pharaoh :
“But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power that my Name might be proclaimed in all the earth” Exo.9 :16
Well written, this summarized Franklin’s letter well. Thank you.
I hear the echoes of our Lord’s words, “I didn’t come to bring peace, but a sword…”
Thank you Franklin for speaking the truth. My husband and I were more upset about the use of God in the impeachment proceedings than the impeachment itself.
Also a staunch supporter of Israel and finally moved our Embassy to Jerusalem.CT’s Mark Galli is sitting in judgment like he’s God. That’s what the Pharisees did. Seems like he would rather have an evil person like Hillary Clinton in the White House. Mark Galli thinks he should be the one to choose who’s President rather than We the People.
Amen. Praying in agreement with Franklin Graham, a very courageous and righteous man to speak out. Father I agree with Franklin Graham. May it be so, in Jesus name, amen.
