In Jacksonville, Franklin Graham Says America Will Not Come Back-Truth!
Summary of eRumor:
A viral email claims that Franklin Graham spoke at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida, and said that America will not come back.
The Truth:
This one is true.
Franklin Graham, the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, delivered the remarks at the Jacksonville Pastors’ Conference in January of 2015:
“America has changed, and it’s not coming back unless the church takes a stand. There are storms that are coming. We find ourselves in these storms, and many times we as church run, and we run to the wrong place. You see, Jesus is in the boat. All we have to do is call him. Call his name. But the secularist and the humanists, you mention the name of Christ, and they jump all over you.â€
Also included in the forwarded email is an essay that went viral shortly after President Obama was re-elected in 2012. Both the essay and Franklin Graham’s speech talk generally about secularism, but they are otherwise unrelated.
The essay said that the re-election was the “final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males†that settled the country.
