Franklin Graham Tour: We're Close to 'Moral Tipping Point' http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&a mp;frm=1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCwQFjAA&url=h ttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbn.com%2Fcbnnews%2F&ei=ba69UvTZHqmysASZ 7IDoDA&usg=AFQjCNEfex-5kYBXVFRrEHHf9eazHD2bpA&bvm=bv .58187178,d.cWc - CBN News Evangelist Franklin Graham is kicking off a national tour of state capitols Tuesday, calling on Christians to repent, pray and uphold Biblical values at home and at the ballot box. The 50-state tour, called " https://decisionamericatour.com/" rel="nofollow - Decision America Tour 2016 ," began Tuesday afternoon on the steps of Des Moines, Iowa's capitol. On his website, Graham says he will "be urging Christians to vote, to live out their faith in every part of their lives, and to pray for our nation just as Nehemiah cried out to God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore hope to His people." Franklin Graham describes his hopes for the Decision America tour. https://decisionamericatour.com/?utm_source=Google& utm_medium=CPC&utm_content=DAT%20Generic&utm_ca mpaign=DAT&SOURCE=BY15CAGGL&gclid=CjwKEAiA8K20BRDetN v3p6DNhXwSJADSwa3tDvPzq3k4YAEIT2OO9p-n5opkH_iqcw_ZtS1YVPAq4x oCMtzw_wcB" rel="nofollow - Watch the video.The trip comes ahead of the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses in which Graham is urging Christians who care about social issues to go to the polls and vote for "godly leaders." "I believe we are perilously close to the moral tipping point for the survival of the United States of America," Graham wrote in the most recent Decision magazine article. "I refuse to be silent and watch the future of our children and grandchildren be offered up on pagan altars of personal pleasure and immorality." Graham, son of famed evangelist Billy Graham, is not endorsing any presidential candidate and will not allow any of them to speak at his rallies. Late last month, Graham told followers on Facebook that http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2016/January/%7E/link/f729f8c 87966416f9fa95d421e0f1c21.aspx?epslanguage=en - he was quitting the Republican Party , partly because the GOP-controlled Congress failed to defund Planned Parenthood. "I have no hope in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or Tea Party to do what is best for America," he wrote on Facebook. "Unless more godly men and women get in this process and change this wicked system, our country is in for trouble." So will these rallies turn political? Graham insists they won't. "Some fear I might be leading an exodus out of the Republican Party. That's not my goal at all," he wrote in a recent Facebook post. "I'm not here to hurt the Republican Party or the Democratic Party - I want to help our nation. I want to stand on capitol steps and lead this nation state by state in praying for America." Graham insists the Decision America Tour is about rallying Christians to pray for their nation. "We'll be praying for our leaders and praying that God would give us politicians who will stand for Biblical values," Graham said. "I want to challenge Christians to get involved in the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and all others to make a difference, to get engaged at every level and to vote." "The Bible calls us to be salt and light in this world," he continued. "It's time we got off the sidelines and got involved in actively working and praying to stop the moral decline of this great nation." http://billygraham.org/story/new-year-kicks-off-decisio n-america-tour" rel="nofollow - Follow updates on the tour here .

 Like Franklin Graham on Facebook: Franklin Graham announced he will embark on a 50-state tour of the United States next year called the http://billygraham.org/decision-america-tour/ - Decision America Tour . He made the following announcement on https://www.facebook.com/FranklinGraham?fref=ts - his Facebook page : America is in trouble. At 62 years of age, I’ve lived long enough to learn that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can turn this country around; no political party or politician is the answer. The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ. Next year I am planning to travel to all 50 states to conduct prayer rallies—we are calling this the http://billygraham.org/decision-america-tour/ - Decision America Tour . I want to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and to pray for our nation and its leaders. I want to encourage Christians to get out and vote, and to cast their ballots for candidates who uphold biblical principles. I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level—local, state, and federal. We will not be endorsing any political candidates, but I will be proclaiming the truth of God’s Gospel in every state. More details will come later. I hope you will start praying with us now. https://decisionamericatour.com/ - Learn more at DecisionAmericaTour.com.
