Franklin Graham - Afraid to Name "Jesus" Before Men

Franklin Graham gave the invocation at the inauguration of President Bush on January 20. Graham ended his prayer the same way his father, Billy, did four years ago at the 1997 inaugural. It was ended:

"In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."

This is how the pope of Rome ends his prayers! The Grahams are always talking about how Jesus died "publicly", yet when the name of JESUS was on the line, they succumbed to Roman pressure.

This cowardice grieved me so much. How can God bless a nation that does not come to Him in the name of Jesus? Jesus said in John 16:23b, "Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you."

May our Lord raise up a new generation of Reformers to take us back to the true and straight ways!
