Franklin Graham said Christians today need “wisdom” to navigate our ever-chaotic political culture, noting he isn’t interested in telling others how to vote.
“I don’t want to tell people how to vote or not vote,” Franklin recently told CBN’s Faithwire. “I might share with somebody how I’m going to vote, but … what we need to do, [to] be honest with you, is just ask God [to] give us wisdom.”
Graham, who heads the Christian relief organization Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, encouraged fellow Christians to vote for candidates who have “Godly principles” and who take a moral stand.
“[We should vote for] candidates that believe in God, that believe in Jesus Christ, that’s what we need,” he said, noting he knows not everyone will be a born-again Christian.
Still, Graham said Christians should seek candidates who at least align with their values.
“Let’s vote for candidates [who] at least support what we believe in,” he continued.
Graham concluded with his biggest prayer for America, calling citizens to return to God and repent.
“My biggest prayer for this country is that we would return … that we would repent and call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,” he said.
