God bless you Franklin. You are in my view the best partner in preaching that your father Billy could have got to spread God's Will for this world, regarding repentance, forgiveness ,and salvation. Also, you are one of the few preachears who reminds us about judgement. Go ahead,I will always pray for you.!

Krystal says 8.30.2010, 4:03 p.m.

Its because of leaders and teachers like you that we can all stand firm together and share the truth in Christ Jesus - we are His ambassadors on earth and we will STAND FIRM. Thank you for the encouragement and for the boldness. I will pray for your continued strength in Him and Him in you. PRAISE GOD.

Thank you Franklin for your Unyielding stand for Christian values, spreading the gospel and helping the less fortunate and hurting, who need it! I pray for your family, BGEA and Samaritan's Purse everyday.

Dawn says 8.28.2010, 11:19 p.m.

The Graham family has always stood up for what they believe in. They preach the gospel. The main message is Salvation. They are out to win souls. I have noticed a lot of churches don't preach salvation. I ask you what is wrong with this picture. They don't even preach it at my church. I guess they think all who come to church are saved. I think not. There are churches that believe that there is no hell. I want to know what bible do they read.

Rose says 8.28.2010, 1:53 p.m.

Dave says 8.27.2010, 8:32 p.m.

Because your dad was obedient, I heard the word that opened my eyes in 1972. God then escorted me down the isle, I could not sit in my seat. It has been a great journey. He is still teaching me through His Spirit and preparing me for what the world will soon witness. Thank you for being there at the start.. Now let's finish strong together.

What a faithful God we serve! Fasting (21 day) and praying in the spirit changed my life forever, and has enabled me by His grace to bring the Kingdom of God to the earth. There indeed is a cost brother Graham and oh how worthy He is of whatever He asks of us! I bless you in Christ's name to lay down your life, as we in turn lay down ours with holiness, purity and obedience. Much JOY to you for it is our strength. By Him and For Him!

martha says 8.27.2010, 10:01 a.m.

THANK YOU FRANKLIN FOR SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. CONTINUE TO PREACH THE GOSPEL IN SEASON AND OUT.GOD BLESS YOU AND I'LL PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL SHIELD AND PROTECT YOU ALWAYS.

pastor Bruce says 8.26.2010, 09:51 a.m.

We need this message - praise GOD for Graham for preaching the truth. He is a vessel in God's hands for the truth. What a true man of GOD ! AMEN !!

David says 8.26.2010, 00:45 a.m.

I have followed your Dad for many years and have had much admiration for him. As the news reports in regards to Obama. my challenge to you as the question arise's in regards to the Mosque and Islam rising in America. They say we Christians have to be tolerant. Fine so be it. I feel you should have the courage to go to Saudi Arabia and see how tolerant they are to the Christian way being spread over there. In your own words At Any Cost.

Micks RS says 8.25.2010, 11:29 p.m.

Thanks You Rev. Franklin Graham. God be with you all the time.

Mabel says 8.25.2010, 10:00 p.m.

When I became a child of the Living God, I was not informed that I would be required to die daily...but the Scripture did! I release my praises to the only true God who by His choice sent His Son. Jesus knows our weaknesses and He can show us the way to victory after victory. Hallelujah, the enemy of our soul has LOST already! We can stand in a place of complete confidence in HIM! Amen

renee says 8.25.2010, 11:07 a.m.

AMEN! GOD has really been speaking this loud and clear with me lately...just started a jail ministry...the first night 15 women were saved!!!

betty says 8.24.2010, 9:46 p.m.

Keep spreading the word, we will pray for you.

Peter says 8.24.2010, 9:20 p.m.

"O praise the LORD all ye nations." Psalm 117Jesus Christ is the only one who can save us.

Beth says 8.24.2010, 6:25 p.m.

God Bless you Reverend Franklin. Your message brought tears to my eyes. You filled me with the Holy Spirit. I feel God's love. I pray Jesus come; take away the sins of the world. Amen.

Steve says 8.24.2010, 2:15 p.m.

Preach it Franklin, because the word of God is Quick and sharp and able to divide between the dividing asunder of the soul and spirit and it is the very life of God under the Anionting and the word is anointed. God's word shall not return unto him void (empty)

Ray says 8.24.2010, 1:38 p.m.

A man who can not change is a man that can not grow.

Curtis says 8.24.2010, 07:11 a.m.

My dear brother,Thank you so much for such great leading by example. As a fellow Christian, I want you to know that through this message the Lord has brought great encouragement to me. As a colleague in ministry I have also needed it. As I travelled for some years as an evangelist, in the last two years, there were places that had once welcomed me when I spoke about revival..but when I spoke on the requirements for it -holiness and purity, and no compromise, they turned me away. I have often said to my family that if I had it to do over again I would do the same in those places; yes, I lost some churches and some friends - but I knew and I know that I had done as He had directed me - and that knowledge is worth everything. This morning, after hearing your message, I feel that I have receieved yet more affirmation from the Lord, not only to keep on this path, but also to increase in this direction. As I prepare to step into His next ministerial direction for me, I am grateful for His message through you and its impact upon my walk and then my calling. Thank you, my brother. Keep up the good fight. In Christ,Curtis

Pastor Steve says 8.24.2010, 03:09 a.m.

Many years ago I a timid, shy young man with a silent hidden dream to preach used to watch the Billy Graham telecasts. Today age age 54, I am a seniors ministry pastor but with a zeal and assignment to preach to the nations. Not bad for a person who never went to bible school. My classroom was watching Billy Graham. Thankyou Sir, I shall never, ever forget how you changed my life.

Janette says 8.24.2010, 00:49 a.m.

Wow. You are like Silas and Paul. Not many people are courageous enough to stand for Christ like that. Keep fighting the good fight. Your reward shall be great for your obedience.

David says 8.23.2010, 11:37 p.m.

Thank you dear Rev. Franklin Graham for the courage to be faithful to the Gospel Message. The Lord Jesus is with you!!!

frank says 8.23.2010, 8:21 p.m.

God bless you Pastor Franklin Graham. You are one of the BRAVE Americans who know the TRUTH. I pray for other Christian pastors of this country that they should behave bravely. Majority of the Americans have become cowards now. Thay have sold this country to the muslims.

Grace says 8.23.2010, 7:12 p.m.

Thank you Franklin for being bold and telling everyone who listens the good news. We love you.

RITA says 8.23.2010, 4:32 p.m.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR DAD AS MUCH AS YOU BOTH HAVE BLESSED ME.JESUS IS THE ANSWER FOR ANY PROBLEM WE HAVE.

Elle says 8.23.2010, 1:22 p.m.

God bless you, Franklin Graham--for your stand. You are speaking for all of us who believe and are saved by Jesus Christ. May God by His Spirit pour His life -changing power and love through us more and more to a world of lost people--you inspire us and convict us--"rise up oh church of God!"

Elizabeth says 8.23.2010, 12:25 a.m.

I believe that we are in the times the Bible talks about. I am glad Franklin you preach the truth! The Holy Spirit has to draw us to be able to get to heaven, and we have to accept it through his son Jesus, who died for us on the cross. He only is the way the truth and the life.

John says 8.23.2010, 11:03 a.m.

We MUST be as passionate, or MORE passionate than the people trying to shut down God's Word!!!

REBECCA says 8.23.2010, 10:14 a.m.

YOUR FATHER KNOWS THE TRUTH, YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND BECAUSE YOU SHARED THE TRUTH I NOW KNOW THE TRUTH!!!! AMEN AND PEACE TO YOU AND YOURS!

Brenda says 8.23.2010, 07:25 a.m.

I have watched him on TV many times and read several books of your fathers', Billy Graham. I must say, it is with the Holy Spirit I encourage you to continue as he did. Several years ago, I thought it wasn't going to be possible, for I have listened to you as well....... Keep the faith, hold your head up high and always remember that God promised that what He starts in good works, He will finish. Just as I knew He would with you.....I am encouraged, in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May the peace of God be with you and with all you share and give you the strength you need to give the world THAT push in the right direction..Some people are visited by the Lord in this present time.."Blessed are those who have not seen the Lord, yet believe"..... I know that Jesus is real. I know for certain He died for all of our sins and I have to testify that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of the world and that He died for me. All praises be to our God, in Jesus' name, Amen

John says 8.23.2010, 06:59 a.m.

We MUST be as passionate, or MORE passionate than the people trying to shut down God's Word!!!

josinete says 8.23.2010, 05:23 a.m.

Thanks for the message.....GOD BLESS!!!!

dwight says 8.23.2010, 01:48 a.m.

CHRISTIANS ITS TIME TO UNITE GOD WORD IS TRUE, STAND FIRM DO NOT COMPROMISE TO THIS WORLD SINFUL NATURE: 2TIMOTHY 4:2

George says 8.22.2010, 8:31 p.m.

I thank God for someone like Billy Graham and now his son Franklin. Exactly right. There is no one that have died for me except Jesus. Thank you LORD...Franklin keep going in Jesus name. Many of ppl didn't know who's Jesus yet. Many Muslims and others doesn't know who is Jesus. I encourage you all you sisters and brothes to keep forword... Wish all the best and God Bless you all your Arabic Brothers from Montreal,Canada

Christina says 8.22.2010, 4:29 p.m.

Thank you Franklin Graham for having the courage to stand up and spread the message Jesus commissioned us to as He ascended to heaven. Christianity needs more people willing to throw all thier cares upon God and just stand up for the truth. If the church hasn't made someone mad at them for spreading the truth then we're not doing our job. It is better to tell people the truth even if it angers them at first than to tell them a lie to make them feel good about themselves despite the fact that it will lead them down the road of destruction. God bless you!

Ray says 8.22.2010, 05:58 a.m.

Our heritage is that of a God-fearing, God-honoring nation. His Word is the source of our strength. His Word breathes into us life and liberty and empowers us to pursue happiness. His Word is truth. He is our Creator. He is our Lord and Savior. His Name is Jesus.

carol says 8.21.2010, 9:48 p.m.

God bless you Franklin! Keep speaking the truth.

Min. Todd says 8.21.2010, 4:55 p.m.

That was so encouraging and a timely message. We will not back up, let down, slow down, or be still. We are going to carry out that great commission. Thank you for that wonderful Word Rev. Graham

hendek says 8.21.2010, 2:05 p.m.

God bless u..stay strong....i will pray for u and for the cause of preaching the gospel. pray for me to be like u and other young ppl.

Steve says 8.21.2010, 12:34 a.m.

I pray God richly Blesses you and your Ministry. We are living in the last days and it is such a blessing that you are continuing in your Father's footsteps sharing the Gospel to the world. It's tough out there and I witness to my boss and people around me everyday. It's like speaking to brick walls sometimes but I know His word will not return void. Please pray for me as I will pray for you. God Bless...

Mary says 8.21.2010, 11:18 a.m.

Thank you Mr. Graham, I pray that God will protect you always....You sir are a man of God ,a brave American and a Patriot. I stand shoulder to shoulder with you ,you keep preaching .

Paul says 8.21.2010, 03:01 a.m.

I went astray from the faith for a time, but after I saw you on CNN last night, the Lord called me back, its time we stand up for what we believe in and not allow this sin saturated culture get the best of so many lost souls, its time to proclaim Christ to the ends of the earth, its time to act now, whatever the consequences may be, the gospel of Christ must be proclaimed so that those who are lost can have a hope in knowing why they are here, and where they are going.

Pastor Bill says 8.21.2010, 00:55 a.m.

May God continue to give courage to your heart, Franklin, as you stand for Christianity in an increasingly tolerant nation. Do not let the Muslim debate discourage your heart - "Do not fear FOR I AM WITH YOU!" There are thousands of us behind you, praying for you and in the trenches with you!

Khai says 8.21.2010, 00:39 a.m.

Live for God

Darrion says 8.20.2010, 7:27 p.m.

Thank God for Franklin Graham. He is one person I know I can trust for speaking the truth.

Cindy says 8.20.2010, 3:50 p.m.

Thank you so much for this message encouraging us not to give up, but to continue preaching the salvation that comes through Jesus Christ our Lord! God bless you Franklin! And I pray that the Holy Spirit will empower all Christians to share the Good News, no matter what the cost!
