Orlando, Florida – In his keynote address at the opening session of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention here on Monday night, Rev. Franklin Graham minced no words regarding faith in today’s society.
He told all those gathered, “There’s a storm coming, and we’ve all got to be prepared.”
Rev. Graham also said that “every demon from hell” has been “turned loose” in our culture today.
“The world has deteriorated so quickly,” he said from the stage. “We cannot be deceived and we can’t be fooled. We need to get ready and be prepared.”

Graham urged Christian organizations to prepare to defend themselves against the growing cancel culture in business, insurance, banking and technology, and challenged them to continue sharing the hope of Jesus Christ in the face of increasingly difficult circumstances.
Noting that if one “doesn’t talk about sin” or “preach the gospel” then that person doesn’t have anything to worry about in society, he added, “But if you’re going to try to proclaim the gospel, they’re going to try to shut you up.”

Graham also reminded those from across the Christian media landscape of the importance of remaining faithful to the historic truths of scripture amid the coming storms.
“I love them enough to try to warn them this [way of life] is sin,” he said.
He added, “The gospel says, ‘This is sin.’” Graham also noted that many today want to soft-pedal any message of salvation in order to be friendlier to all groups, not hurt feelings or make waves.
“I love them enough to try to warn them this [way of life] is sin.”
“Preach — don’t back up, don’t make excuses.”
Graham also told the crowd, “We cannot back up, we can’t retreat, don’t apologize for the gospel. Just declare it, just preach it.”
