Evangelist Franklin Graham is warning Christians that America is facing a critical moment as voters prepare for the upcoming midterm elections.
In a recent Decision Magazine article, Graham sharply criticized the rise of socialism, saying, “Socialism is often just another brand name for communism,” and warning that “communism—like socialism—is godless, even anti-God.” He added, “The socialists have always been the enemy of the church. They hate God because they want to be the final authority, not God.”
Graham also warned about what he called the rising threat of radical Islam in the West, saying Christians should not remain silent when religious ideologies seek greater influence in American public life.
Calling on Christians to take their responsibility seriously at the ballot box, Graham urged believers to “steward their vote faithfully” and support candidates who uphold biblical values, including the sanctity of human life, biblical marriage, national borders and law enforcement.
Citing the example of King Jehoshaphat, Graham concluded, “Obedience to the Word of God brought peace then, and it can bring peace now if God’s people—by His mercy and power—lead our nation back to Him.”
