Christian leaders share inspiring new year messages for 2019
Franklin Graham
In his message for 2019, evangelist Franklin Graham, who's also president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, urged people not to put their trust in the arms of flesh but look to God instead.
“As we enter a new year, we need God more than ever. The complexities of the world’s problems are immeasurable. Whether we want to admit it or not, it seems that we are back in an arms race with Russia and China. It seems as though every region of the world is in turmoil. Politicians and leaders don’t have the answers,” Franklin declared on Facebook.
Similar to his father, the late Billy Graham, Franklin is vocal about current affairs and people's need for Christ. He proceeded to provide what he believes in the solution to all of the social unrest.
“As we come to 2019, pray that our nation would turn its eyes to God and His Son Jesus Christ who paid the debt of sin with His own blood. His wisdom is limitless and His love is unfailing,” he shared.
“For those who have put their faith and trust in Christ, you can take comfort in knowing that no matter what comes, He has promised, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you’ (Hebrews 13:5). Are you beginning 2019 with Him?” Franklin asked.
