NBC: Franklin Graham Expounds on Phil Robertson and the Untapped Power of the Church to Affect Society

Franklin Graham : Jan 2, 2014  BillyGraham.Org

"I've never really been one to try to be politically correct. I just feel truth is truth, and sometimes I probably offend some people." -Franklin Graham

Phil Robertson(Washington, DC)—I appreciate the Robertson family's strong commitment to Biblical principles and their refusal to back down under intense media pressure over Phil Robertson's comments in a recent interview. As the Robertson controversy winds down—at least for now—I have been amazed at how many churches have apparently "ducked" out on the issue (sin). Some were even quick to condemn Phil Robertson.

If we Christians banded together and took a stand, perhaps we wouldn't be losing so much ground in what the media is calling the "cultural war." However, it is not a cultural war—it is a religious war against Christians and the Biblical truths we stand for. Some churches have fallen into the trap of being politically correct, under the disguise of tolerance.

Franklin GrahamGod is not "politically correct," and He is certainly not tolerant of sin. The Bible tells us that He is going to judge all sin one day; and anyone who is not found under the Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ, will face an eternity in Hell separated from God. Scripture says, "So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come forth, separate the wicked from among the just, and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:49-50). But today God is willing to forgive anyone who truly repents (is willing to turn from their sin), asks for His forgiveness, and believes on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ ("For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" Romans 10:13).

Also, as reported in LifeSiteNews, in an NBC "Meet the Press" interview on Sunday, December 29, Graham, when asked if his stance on homosexuality (that it is sin, like other sins mentioned in the Bible) would change, he said it wouldn't.

"God would have to shift," he said, "and God doesn't. God's Word is the same yesterday, today and a million years from now that it's [homosexuality] sin."

Graham reportedly also agreed with Pope Francis' contention that God, not man, is the ultimate judge of sin.

"I've never really been one to try to be politically correct. I just feel truth is truth, and sometimes I probably offend some people," he said.
