Franklin originally spoke out to Christian Pastors at a Pastor's Conference...... trying to educate them to the realities of Islam.  Unfortunately too many Pastors do not comprehend the true dangers of Islam.  Franklin wanted the Pastors to realize that their own government was not going to protect their religious liberty.... and that the muslims are NOT a peaceful religion as George W. Bush so famously said.   

And Obama is actively protecting the Islamic faith around the world.... not wanting them to be harmed.  He is more concerned for muslims than Christians in the ME.

And now we have our own government doing crazy things like telling Pastors to cease and desist preaching against homosexuality........ as they did to Dr. John MacArthur.

It is time for Christians to wake up to the fact that persecution lies ahead and they need to prepare themselves mentally and spiritually for this.

Pastors should be aware of that.  They are beheading Christians all over the Middle East.  I don't know Kroz and its hard to imagine loving people so lost in the cult of Islam that they believe they should kill people.  What kind of a monster god is that?  I can't get the images that I saw on the internet out of my mind.  Even so Muslims are accepting the Lord in the Middle East and all I think we can do is pray.  Pray for salvation for Muslims.  Pray for the Christians in the Middle East and Africa.  Everywhere actually.  Pray for Godly leadership in the United State to combat the demonic influence of Islam.

It helps me to remember the focus and what we wrestle with.

Ephesians 6:12American Standard Version (ASV)

12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

I appreciate your input on this subject, CD.    I did not mean to imply that we do not love people.... nor do I think Franklin implied that.  We can love people and still condemn their behaviors.

I personally believe that Christians at large (not you) tend toward burying all problems in the mantra of "love thy neighbor".  They refuse to open their eyes to the real ramifications of evil.

Franklin wants all Christians to wake up to the fact that the goal of Islam is evil.  Jihad is a mere instrument they use toward their goal.  WE are their "infidels" that deserve death.  I do not believe that the Bible teaches pacifism.

We need to realize that truth will not prevail if we sit back and do nothing.  We must actively engage the enemy.  God repeatedly sent His people into battle in the OT.  Our battle today is indeed spiritual as well as physical.  They are not mutually exclusive.  And of course, we PRAY without ceasing!

BTW, the fastest growing Christian Nation in the world today is Iran!

Muslims are searching for a better answer to their spiritual questions.  There are now 16% Christians in Iran!  That is a huge increase in Believers.

How do WE engage the enemy today?  We follow Franklin's example and boldly speak the truth in love.  We attempt to open the eyes of those who are blinded by the PC political rhetoric. 

Franklin Graham speaks out again.....

Graham on Wednesday criticized Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., for having lost his "moral compass."

"Senator Harry Reid outrageously declared yesterday that Republicans had 'lost their moral compass' after they were unable to get the 60 votes needed to move the bill in Congress forward that would defund Planned Parenthood," he wrote on his Facebook page.

"You've got it backwards Senator Reid. You lost your moral compass years ago! You openly support abortion – the murder of babies in their mothers' wombs – and now by backing Planned Parenthood you obviously support the dismemberment and sale of baby body parts."

Graham's verdict?

"Shame on you and each one in Congress who did not support defunding Planned Parenthood. One day you will stand before God, and the blood of these innocent children will cry out for justice," he wrote.
