Franklin Graham Slams Congressional Candidate Who Released His Own Porn Video
Read Time: 1 minute 46 seconds
Franklin Graham is admonishing Christians in America to go out and vote for candidates that reflect biblical values in an age where the world continues to go deeper down a dark hole. Over the weekend, social media was engulfed with comments about a New York congressional candidate who made a porn video and released it on purpose to support legalizing sex work.
Independent congressional candidate Mike Itkis call himself a “liberal with drastically different views.” Running for congress in New York’s 12th District, Itkis believes he is working to “protect sexual rights” by posting his sex tape to a porn website.
Franklin Graham took to Twitter to shares his thoughts. “Just when you think politics has gone to its lowest point, it goes even lower. I pray that every moral-minded American will get out & vote for candidates with character and who most closely align with biblical values.”
The midterm elections are just weeks away and now is the time to start looking into that candidates in your area. Who are they? What do they stand for? What Itkis stands for is completely against the Bible. God created sex as something sacred within the confines of marriage. Not only that, the porn industry has contributed to sex trafficking growing exponentially according to Deliver Fund.
Deliver Fund partners with law enforcement to take down human traffickers. They aid support at no cost to investigators to help take down these predators. On their website they say, “Victims are either used for pornographic pictures or videos, or they are prostituted out through online platforms such as Craigslist, Facebook and MocoSpace.”
These are children of God. Psalm 139:13-14 says, “You brought my inner parts into being; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder; marvelous are Your works, and You know me completely.”
Marvelous are His works! Every human being has been crafted by the hands of God, and we should look at one another with that understanding. God looks at us and marvels at His creation. He loves us so much that He sent His one and only Son to come down and die on the cross for our sins.
Christians should pray for Itkis, that he would be awakened by the Holy Spirit and realize the deep darkness that he is promoting. Pray that he would encounter the love of Jesus and repent for what he is doing.
