Franklin Graham Exposes Reality of Democrats Ahead of Midterms
Reverend Franklin Graham, son of the late Reverend Billy Graham, urged Americans to prayerfully consider which candidates to vote for ahead of the midterm elections.
“Do you know who to vote for in the midterms? Let me give you some help, but you decide. The Democratic Party wants open borders, while the Republican Party wants secure borders,” Graham wrote on X. “The Democratic Party wants noncitizens to be able to vote; the Republican Party supports requiring voter ID.”
He also shared the differences in healthcare policies between the two parties. “The Democratic Party wants to give taxpayer-funded benefits like healthcare to noncitizens; the Republican Party says No to that. And there are a hundred more issues,” he wrote. “The choice is yours—but look prayerfully at what both parties stand for.”
Similarly, Southern Baptist Convention President and Pastor Willy Rice recently urged pastors across the nation to engage politically ahead of the midterm elections. His comments come as some pastors refrain from politics and many Christians fail to show up at the ballot box.
“Should pastors engage in the political process? They absolutely should,” he said. “Because there are many political issues that are, at their heart, theological issues and moral issues that strike at the very center of what we believe to be true and what we believe people need to know in order to flourish personally and as a culture.”
The pastor noted that many political issues, such as abortion, marriage, gender, and immigration, are biblical in nature. “There is a value of compassion, a value of wanting to care for the least of these people who are poor and oppressed and wanting to help,” Rice said, emphasizing, “But there is also the importance of the rule of law. The protection of people who are in this country. And what you’ve had is sometimes a very cynical use by some people in power of trying to manipulate Christians by saying, since you must demonstrate compassion, therefore you must embrace open immigration, or you must not insist on the enforcement of the immigration laws.”
“A person can love people, care for people, and also believe there ought to be a jail here in our county and in our city for people who do wrong,” he added.
