Why is it ok that people can speak against God but when we speak for God we are discriminating. Thats not fair!

Sharron says 8.1.2012, 2:10 p.m.

Standing up for God and Scripture when all around you are growling. All of God's children should be so bold. Shame on us who do not speak against the tide of secularism. If we're not speaking for God's word then we fail.

Jan says 8.1.2012, 1:02 p.m.

This is a divisive issue, one that will only grow in strength as the line gets drawn deeper into the sand. I pray for the American church, that as we rise to the challenge of standing against the tide of popular belief, we do it all with God's LOVE.

Vee says 8.1.2012, 12:30 a.m.

Proud to be a Christian-American and yes "guilty as charged" I stand united with Dr. Graham along with all believers. GO Chick-fil-A!

Gary says 8.1.2012, 12:25 a.m.

As the leader of a 30 year sports ministry organization, I have never seen, experienced or known a company who is committed to developing relationships to people and the community like Chick Fil A. They are an example of what Jesus taught.

Ruth says 8.1.2012, 11:56 a.m.

I support any business that has biblical values and we have been so blessed to have Billy Graham as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! We must speak out for our God to be allowed to govern Councils, etc throughout our world.

margo says 8.1.2012, 11:30 a.m.

the union between two pwople should be a man and wife and I truly support, the biblical principals as true doctrine set in place for us to follow. not a matter of preference. God bless his word. thank you.

mary says 8.1.2012, 09:54 a.m.

We have to support companys like Chick-fil-A or we are doomed as a Christian country. We must elect Christian men and women to be our leaders. How much longer is God going to put up with this???

daniel says 8.1.2012, 09:28 a.m.

I was reading this week in the Bible about the sins of nations and how God turned His anger on those that did not repent. It's high time we get on our knees and ask God to forgive us for allowing ungodly people to dictate and impose their beliefs.

Greg says 7.31.2012, 08:00 a.m.

There are supposed to be protesters at the locations. Are we called to war against them or to love them? Why don't we put away our sinful pride and serve those who haven't yet received Christ into their lives and hearts? Instead of eating

Joe says 7.28.2012, 12:37 a.m.

John says 7.27.2012, 12:11 a.m.

Thank you Dr Graham. You are the right person to stand with the Cathy family and Chick-fil-a. Maybe this is the catylst we need to bring our Country to it's knees.

Pat says 7.27.2012, 11:52 a.m.

Thank you all that are connected with Chick Fil A. I am so glad we have one where I live. God bless you!

Anna says 7.27.2012, 11:35 a.m.

The reason why this country is in the shape it's in, is because it has gotten away from God's word. More people need to stand up for the truth. Proud of Chick-fil- a.

Gary says 7.27.2012, 11:22 a.m.

I truely support this famiy and their willingness to stand on the teachings found in God's word. Read 2 Timothy 4:3. Sadly that is where many americans are today. God Bless the Cathy family for their values.

Rupert says 7.27.2012, 11:13 a.m.

Amen for Brother Graham and sincere thanks for his Godly support ... wish ther was a Chick-Fil-A in my hometown ... Jesus is the only hope for mankind

Theresa says 7.27.2012, 10:32 a.m.

The enemy will always try to destroy something good. I'll back-up Chick-fil-A and Billy Graham 100.

brandi says 7.27.2012, 10:13 a.m.

I love the word of God and people who stand on the word.My prayer is that Gods childern come together in unity that the power of the Holy Ghost has room to fall on America.Why do some so called churches support this.thanks BGEA

Jack says 7.27.2012, 09:24 a.m.

Among the great companies in America today, Chik-fil-A stands as a beacon concerning everything we'd consider to be good: good food, good relations in the community, and well-trained employees. We're praying heartily for their leadership.

Bobbette says 7.27.2012, 08:18 a.m.

As a follower of Jesus, I stand boldly with you. Do not be afraid. The One with you is greater than the one in the world.

Larry says 7.27.2012, 07:17 a.m.

It is difficult to run a commercial business based upon Christian principles and as a Christian. God bless the Cathy Family for boldly leading. I recommend Christians and all who believe in religious freedom to support Chick- fil-A.

Pam says 7.27.2012, 06:16 a.m.

Amen!

Gloria says 7.27.2012, 05:27 a.m.

Melissa says 7.27.2012, 01:24 a.m.

The Lord continue blessing you Dr. Graham! And God bless the owners of the Chick-fil-A chain...As the Lord was faithful to the 3 Hebrew boys, and Daniel, so will He continue being faithful to you!

Janie says 7.27.2012, 01:10 a.m.

I also support chick-fill-A. It's so sad to see what direction our country going. But I know its scripture being fulfilled. I pray for our country and leaders. Lord please let our next leader be a true Christian. God bless

Hope says 7.27.2012, 00:07 a.m.

I wish there was one in my area...Would love to have a good chicken sandwich:)

Thank you for taking a stand, too. It's past time for God's people to stand on the truth up for the Truth.

Joan says 7.27.2012, 00:07 a.m.

I agree whole heartily with Billy Graham and Mike Huckabee. I've never been to a Chick-fil-A but plan to find one close to me and support them 100.

Pam says 7.26.2012, 11:52 p.m.

God bless you Brother Graham!!

Barb says 7.26.2012, 11:36 p.m.

I am glad to see someone stand for the way they believe. May God bless him for standing for Christian principles.

Bennie says 7.26.2012, 11:14 p.m.

Billy, I want to thank you, along with Truett Cathy and his son for standing for what you know the Bible teaches about the issue of same-sex marriage. I know that God's word is very plain concerning this. I know this is what it says.

Susie says 7.26.2012, 11:07 p.m.

I will never understand people that think the Bible is a book of suggestions on how to live your life. Thank You Dr. Graham for speaking up in a leadership role once again and trying to instruct and teach other people. God Bless You!

betty says 7.26.2012, 11:02 p.m.

Thank you Pastor Billy Graham . We support the Cathy family, its businesses/companies that serve to honor the Lord and the teachings of the Bible with their existence, and will be eating at Chick-Fil-A August 1st.

Joyce says 7.26.2012, 10:47 p.m.

I definitely support Chick-fil-A on taking a stand. They never said they didn't love everyone, just expressed their belief. Evidently, others try to run our lives to coincide with theirs. God will continue to bless Chick-fil-A regardless.

Lisa says 7.26.2012, 10:47 p.m.

Amen...

Karen says 7.26.2012, 10:43 p.m.

It's touching to hear Billy Graham share on this website till this day. Thank you so much for your continued enthusiasm and love for us. Thank you so much! You are a true testimony.

Paula says 7.26.2012, 10:40 p.m.

Bravo Pastor Graham for continuing to be the Godly man you are, for supporting your friend and for holding true to the word of God even in this day and age when it is too many Christians hide in the shadows. It's time for all Christians to stand up

Donna says 7.26.2012, 10:34 p.m.

Thank you Dr. Graham for your leadership and support of biblical values, and the Chick-fil_A company. Not easy to do in this day and age.

April says 7.26.2012, 10:33 p.m.

It seems like they want to remove our rights to believe what we believe.

Laura says 7.26.2012, 10:29 p.m.

I am sorry that the fine folks at Chic-fil-a have had to be put in the middle of this. It is a great company with wonderful values. I support them in standing for what they believe. They have been a "city on a hill". God bless you.

Richard says 7.26.2012, 10:27 p.m.

Bobbie says 7.26.2012, 10:10 p.m.

I agree whole heartedly with the Rev Billy Graham. If I can get to one (there isn't a Chick-fil-A in our town) then I will for sure. Meantime, will pray that all who can, WILL go and be supportive of this fine company.

Lynda says 7.26.2012, 10:07 p.m.

I thank God for BGEA and all other believers in Christ who stand up for our beliefs and Godly values! No Chick-fil-A's in Omaha but we would welcome one! May God bless you all! :)

Bud says 7.26.2012, 10:01 p.m.

I will support Chick-fil-A also, and will eat there as soon as I can find one close to me. I live in Michigan.

Carolyn says 7.26.2012, 10:01 p.m.

We are blessed to have a son in law who became an Operator with Chick Fil A yesterday God has been faithful and will continue to be faithful no matter what! What an incredible company to work for one that truly loves ALL of their customers!

Bernice says 7.26.2012, 9:57 p.m.

I also will enjoy Chick-Fil-A on Aug 1st. I am so thankful for their stance on bibical marriage, Praise God for Godly people!!!

Antonia Paye says 7.26.2012, 9:54 p.m.

Sandra says 7.26.2012, 9:52 p.m.

Gary says 7.26.2012, 9:51 p.m.

Thanks Billy for your stand for the Kingdom of God. Your life has made such an impact on hurting people.

Barbara says 7.26.2012, 9:46 p.m.

I live 35 miles from a Chik-Fil-A. I am gonna make a special effort to take my business there! Every person I know supports the Biblical definition of marriage. God will reward those who do not deny him.

Gracie says 7.26.2012, 9:41 p.m.

Thankful you are still standing on God's Word, also! I watched you as a child in black and white!! Thank you for your service to our Creator!

Laura says 7.26.2012, 9:34 p.m.

This is the kind of courage Christians need to exhibit everyday so the world will stop pushing us around.

Dianne says 7.26.2012, 9:25 p.m.

Great message and so true. Stand on the foundation of the Bible principals. Let God be the judge on all issues. Love everyone even when you don't agree with their lifestyle, after all you don't know what is behind their issues.

Linda says 7.26.2012, 9:22 p.m.

I also want to express my support for The Truett's and their stand for what God's word says. My family, for one, will definitely be there on August 1. God bless the Truetts as they stand for biblical principles!

Nancy says 7.26.2012, 8:43 p.m.

Godly Christian man, pastor, father, leader and role model. Always a soft voice - never hate - just preaching the Word - trying to save the lost. God Bless Billy Graham and his statement!

Gary says 7.26.2012, 8:41 p.m.

As a Chick-fil-A team member, I thank you for your support. God bless you.

Linda says 7.26.2012, 8:40 p.m.

I agree. I believe that the Cathy family has as much right to hold their beliefs AND express them as does any other American. I

Linda says 7.26.2012, 8:40 p.m.

I love chic-fil-a as they are very friendly and for their Christian belief

Agnes says 7.26.2012, 8:32 p.m.

In America we are supposed to have the freedom to express our opinions without being hated for them. I am so sad for Chick Fil-A that they haven't been given that right. I agree that marriage should be as God's word ordained it.I have two gay young men in my extended family and several ex-students who say they are. I truly love each one of these precious men.

Pam says 7.26.2012, 8:28 p.m.

Thank you, Mr. Graham, for speaking up for Truth. Lord Jesus, send revival to our land!

Cathy says 7.26.2012, 8:16 p.m.

I love Chick-Fil-A and what they stand for! I to support marriage as our God intended it to be, between one man and one woman. Thank you Mr Graham for supporting a wonderful Christian company. God Bless

gina says 7.26.2012, 8:14 p.m.

Chick-Fil-A is an awesome experience. I hope we as business owners ourselves always take them as business examples. Keep God in everything and first in your life He is WONDERFUL!!!!!

Scott says 7.26.2012, 8:12 p.m.

You are the Father of my faith Pastor Graham. Thank you for continuing to lead when leadership is amiss in our society.

Yes, we will be at Chick-fil-A on August 1st!

Mary Anne says 7.26.2012, 7:37 p.m.

I stand with Chick-fil-A and Billy Graham in their support of the Biblical mandate for marriage. In this day when anything goes (Self-Actualization: Everyone decides for themselves what is right and wrong.), the Bible must be our plumb line.

Doris says 7.26.2012, 7:36 p.m.

God Bless the Cathys..We as Christians should all take this stand.

chuck says 7.26.2012, 7:10 p.m.

I agree 100

Elizabeth says 7.26.2012, 7:05 p.m.

I am thankful for Dan Cathy's stand for right in a nation where it is no longer popular to do so. The truth of God's Word has not, does not and will not change.Now, it is our turn to stand beside our fellow brothers and sisters of Christ.

Judy says 7.26.2012, 7:02 p.m.

I know you don't like to talk politics, BUT lately it has been so important. God bless you, Billy.

Lillie says 7.26.2012, 6:55 p.m.

Mr.Cathy only spoke on his beliefs, and those Chick-fil-A stand for. It should really speak to believers about the compromises we are making for people to not expect a Christian organization to stand for what God says. Love People Not Sin!

Troy says 7.26.2012, 6:52 p.m.

Thank you God for those in leadership who walk in intergrity and intimacy with you!

Kimberly says 7.26.2012, 6:42 p.m.

I'm very glad to hear that someone is supporting and standing for the word of God instead of being user friendly or politically correct!!! Thanks for standing for what pleases God and not the people!!

Ana says 7.26.2012, 6:39 p.m.

I am proud of being a Christian and of raising my children and now my grandchildren and believing and living in God's word, the leaders of this GODLY nation have fallen from the truth, I pray for all of them and that our country comes to Christ.

Brenda says 7.26.2012, 6:33 p.m.

Thank you, Dr. Graham, for this stance that you have taken again in support of Biblical standards. I appreciate your support of the Cathy family and Chick-Fil-A. Blessings!

Rita says 7.26.2012, 6:29 p.m.

Chick-fil-A is my favorite and knowing they are Christian makes it even better. The family is in my prayers...as I grew up on an Oklahoma farm milking cows morning and night, I will also Eat Mor Chikin!

Lee says 7.26.2012, 6:28 p.m.

I am so glad to see you continue to support the truth of God. you are a man of integrity and I respect you highly. Thank you for defending, not only Mr. Cathy but for defending our precious Lord and Savior

archie says 7.26.2012, 6:27 p.m.

Bless this businessman Dear Lord. I support you and appreciate your steadfastness in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Carmen says 7.26.2012, 6:21 p.m.

Mark says 7.26.2012, 6:18 p.m.

I stand for marriage of a man and woman, as described in the biblical cannon of scripture. I hope more people in America will join together to protect this sacred sacrament that was demonstrated in the past, presents and future. America let's stand!

Carla says 7.26.2012, 6:09 p.m.

Dito, Dr. Graham.

Jamie says 7.26.2012, 6:08 p.m.

caroline says 7.26.2012, 6:02 p.m.

Our Family respects Chick-Fil-A for standing up for their beliefs. We will be buying Chick-Fil-a on August 1st. We buy there all the time so we won't be changing that.

Ted says 7.26.2012, 6:01 p.m.

I grew up in NC and always have admired the Rev. Graham. Though I don't believe in his stance on marriage, I do feel it's his and Chick-fil-a's right to express theirs without worry, fear or backlash. That level of respect has somehow vanished.

Pauline says 7.26.2012, 5:45 p.m.

I have always enjoyed Chick-fil-A! I am very proud of them for standing with true family values. I wish everyone would!!!!!!

Rita says 7.26.2012, 5:29 p.m.

Chick-fil-A is my favorite and knowing they are Christian makes it even better. The family is in my prayers...as I grew up on an Oklahoma farm milking cows morning and night, I will also Eat Mor Chikin!

Ellie says 7.26.2012, 5:12 p.m.

When "Christian values" are supported, we are labeled with grotesque verbiage. I so appreciate Chick-fil-A and will continue to support them with my business. They are good neighbors, recently feeding policemen who responded to our Aurora tragedy.

Amanda says 7.26.2012, 5:08 p.m.

We support and appreciate your strength to stand on Gods word. Thank you Chick a fla!I will eat mor chicken Wednesday!

Walter says 7.26.2012, 4:53 p.m.

That's a really good thing that Chick-fil-a is doing. I also do want to attend Chick-fil-a on August 1st. Thank God for a business like this!

Carolynn says 7.26.2012, 4:52 p.m.

Thanks, Rev. Graham, for always standing by God's truth and lovingly proclaiming it. In today's culture, far too many of us don't speak out because it is not popular to do so. The grace to love has to be anchored in God's truth. Love and thanks!

Michele says 7.26.2012, 4:51 p.m.

We will for sure be at Chick-fil-A on Aug 1!!!

Jeanne says 7.26.2012, 4:46 p.m.

Thanks you, Mr. Graham. My uncle owned and operated the most sucessful grocery business in his NC county. He didn't sell alcohol nor did he open his business on Sunday. He said, "if I find I can"t make a living in 6 days, I will find another job."

Elyon Ukiomogbe says 7.26.2012, 4:35 p.m.

Thank God for Godly leaders who are not ashame of the gospel of Christ.

I love Billy, a Godly man of principles.

I totally agree. marriage is between a man and woman if you disagree read the book called the Bible

John says 7.26.2012, 4:18 p.m.

As a teacher and family counselor, I appreciate Billy Graham and Mike Huckabee's convictions about marriage and family. My wife and I will be backing up the August 1st support. Keep up the courage, Chic-Fil-A. We are proud of you.

Mary Ann says 7.26.2012, 4:16 p.m.

I thank God for you and your ministry over the years. I pray people will read what you wrote and understand the importance of suppporting this Christian business and others like it !

Darlene says 7.26.2012, 4:07 p.m.

Praise The Lord! God Bless the Cathy family and all those that stand with them according to God's Word.

Jerry says 7.26.2012, 4:06 p.m.

We need more support of Godly values in America. This country needs to make a 180 degree turn back to God.

molly says 7.26.2012, 4:00 p.m.

we love you Mr. Graham. I watch your classics all the time. God Bless You

Kappy Maunder says 7.26.2012, 3:59 p.m.

Thank you Billy Graham. You are truth to the core when you share the Bible, which is God's Holy Word, and you have never wavered in your faith and always sharing the salvation message. Marriage can only really be what God affirms as marriage.

Wanda says 7.26.2012, 3:50 p.m.

God bless you, Dr. Graham, for never compromising your values and your adherence to the Word of God at a timewhen there are those in the clergy who deny the authority of the Scriptures. You are an inspiration to believers.

Dianna says 7.26.2012, 3:50 p.m.

Thank You Mr. Graham for taking a stance in support of God's Word, the Bible and that His Word still should be the standard that we Christians should live by.

Larry says 7.26.2012, 3:47 p.m.

Thank you for your support.

Raymond says 7.26.2012, 3:34 p.m.

God is Love. Hate cannot exist in the presence of Love. As a highly regarded man of faith, I am saddened to see Billy Graham take such an ignorant, bigoted stance on an issue that is simply a question of equal rights not moral opinions.

Jim says 7.26.2012, 3:33 p.m.

Thanks for your bold stance. Keep speaking out for truth.

Brenda says 7.26.2012, 3:30 p.m.

My whole family will be eating our lunch @chick-fa-la on Wed,1st! Blessings Reverend Graham and God Bless Dan Cathy for his stand to honor God!

Thank you, Rev. Graham. I also support Mr. Cathy and Chick fil-a. What a great company!

Rita says 7.26.2012, 3:27 p.m.

Chick-fil-A is my favorite and knowing they are Christian makes it even better. The family is in my prayers...as I grew up on an Oklahoma farm milking cows morning and night, I will also Eat Mor Chikin!

Connie says 7.26.2012, 3:16 p.m.

God bless you Mr.Graham for choosing such an important issue to publicly speak out.I am so happy to know you are still alert as to what is going on in our country. God bless Chick-fil-A for their public stand for Gods word and their testimony! <3

Cindy says 7.26.2012, 3:16 p.m.

The bible is our only way to live. Times don't change, people change. The holy word of God is solid and never changes.

Dana says 7.26.2012, 3:00 p.m.

When you are 91 you are entitled to say what is on your mind! I know a lot of good people both straight and gay, I know the nation will probably be at odds with this in my lifetime. No matter his position on this, Chick-fil-A has one of the best work ethics

Dooder says 7.26.2012, 3:00 p.m.

Thank God for biblical marriages, man to woman, father and mother.

Darla says 7.26.2012, 2:59 p.m.

Way to go Rev. Graham. I agree with you wholeheartedly. God Bless Chick-Fil-A!!!!!

Mike says 7.26.2012, 2:54 p.m.

Let us all stand together on this, it's time we quit adapting morality to include those who are unrepentant sinners. Thak you Chick-fil-a and Billy Graham!

Russell says 7.26.2012, 2:52 p.m.

I agree with God,his word is what i live by and by know means am i perfect but i strive hard to be like jesus and i would encourage anyone to stand on Gods word and not compromise.

Perry says 7.26.2012, 2:52 p.m.

My prayers are with Mr. Cathy and his family. It takes a faithful man of God to stand against the sin in this world. May we all have the courage and faith in God that Mr. Cathy has. God bless you sir, and you to Dr. Graham. We love you.

God bless you, Rev. Graham! We will be eating Chick fil a, too, on Aug. 1st! Love you and respect you so much - thank you for you all of the wonderful sermons over the years!

Debbie says 7.26.2012, 2:37 p.m.

I am so thankful that I grew up in an era where I was influenced by such a mighty man of God. Thankful also that Mr. Graham will take a stand for God ordained marriage in THIS era, when it's not a popular thing to do! God bless you!

Debra says 7.26.2012, 2:32 p.m.

I know your comments will strengthen other Christians as we all stand behind the Cathy family and business. God bless.

Don says 7.26.2012, 2:32 p.m.

Thank you, it worries me to see the ungodliness in this world today. I never thought I would see the day that we would have to fight for our Christian rights...here is our country. God bless us all.
