Franklin Graham's Inauguration Prayer.

Billy Graham was a true American hero.

The one part of this inauguration I was looking forward to was Franklin Graham's prayer.

It was a good biblical prayer sure but the Gospel wasn't mentioned, Franklin could easily have slipped the Gospel in, a wasted opportunity if there ever was one. 100s of millions were listening.

"But he said Saviour" Sure, but so do Christmas carols. There was no context to the word Saviour.

He should have slipped in a quick message in his prayer (related to the theme) about us being sinners and that our only way to heaven is by believing on Christ's shed blood on the cross.

Also comparing Trump's 4 years against Christ's eternal reign would be useful.

If J.D. Vance is the next president could I suggest Ray Comfort does the prayers for the ceremony? Now that I'd love to see!

Trump's 4 years against Christ's eternal reign would be useful?? I don't know where you got that. Trump has never denied Christ and in fact, promotes him in his speeches, that we need to get back to Christ and that He is our foundation, if America is to be great again. That has been his message.

@FreddieUK It is the will of the people. People do, including Billy Graham, cast a vote for presidents of their choice. It's been revealed that the legendary evangelist Billy Graham voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, stated by his son. It is our duty as Christians to pray for the leaders of our country and elect whom we feel will lead our country in a Christian way.

From President Truman to President Trump, Billy Graham offered spiritual counsel to these world leaders.
By 1952, his words of encouragement helped convince Gen. Dwight Eisenhower to run for president and, once in office, establish a National Day of Prayer. Graham then became an Oval Office regular and a presidential golf partner.

@LadyGrace But until Franklin broke that confidence, he kept his party political views to himself, maintaining the ability to minister to all.

@FreddieUK I don't know that and I don't think anyone can say for sure. You could be right but it still doesn't change anything.

I'm afraid he sold out his integrity as soon as he sided with MAGA

@BritishFailedAesthetic Plenty who call themselves Christians but who seem to be far away from the people Jesus encouraged us to be.

@FreddieUK Ofcourse. That can be from any political side.

@BritishFailedAesthetic I'm sure that's correct, so best not to align one's faith so overtly and singularly with an essentially earthly political manifesto.

He isn't his father's son. He does a lot of things that his dad never would
