U.S. presidential electoral guide 2016: Billy Graham Association to release election guide for Christians
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) will be releasing a special magazine issue next month to help Christians decide who to vote for in this fall's presidential elections.
Franklin Graham considers this coming election as probably the "most important in our nation's history," and the BGEA CEO and president announced last week that the organization would be sending free copies of "Decision" magazine, an election guide that would delineate the candidates' stand on major issues.
"We've put together a special issue of Decision magazine that can help as you pray about how to vote," wrote Graham on his Facebook page. "The September presidential election guide examines the major issues facing our nation, where the candidates stand, and what God's Word says. It looks at the candidates' stances on important issues including religious liberty, abortion, and the Supreme Court."
The magazine apparently got its name from the evangelist's "Decision America Prayer" tour, for which he toured across the 50 states that took off in Des Moines, Iowa in April last year.
Graham likened his nationwide tour to Nehemiah, the prophet who called on God to restore Jerusalem.
His latest stop at Boston Common on Tuesday drew a crowd of 3,400, as estimated by the event organizers.
Graham said he's still not endorsing any candidate as he charged that both the Democratic and Republican parties "have turned their backs on God and embraced secularism."
BGEA spokesman Mark DeMoss said Graham's prayer rallies urge Christians to uphold the Biblical principles when they vote in November.
"We believe this issue is consistent with that message, and that the gospel is what should propel believers to be involved in every aspect of the society in which they live," DeMoss told The Christian Post.
Graham included on his Facebook post a link to the BGEA website where those interested can fill up a form and grab a free copy of the "Decision" magazine.
