413-423 – • CNS News (5/5/25010) Franklin Graham: Christians Will Lose the Power to Pray Outside Church Walls 'Maybe in My Lifetime'.

"I think its coming to this country where we (will) have the freedom to preach inside a church wall, but we will lose the freedom to do it outside. That day will probably come – maybe in my lifetime," Graham said. 

"(In the United States) we see everyday our rights being eroded. Just a little at a time, but its happening. Everyday. So let's preach while we can. Let's stand up and holler 'Jesus Christ! King of Kings, Lord of Lords!'to the top of our voice," the younger Graham said. 

"The secularists are going to get ticked off, the news media's going to hate it. I don't know, maybe the people in the White House are going to be mad. But you know what, I don't care. Because God has called us to take the Gospel -- His Gospel, the power of God and His Salvation -- unto the ends of the Earth."

// "I am convinced that there are people in high places, people with a great deal of authority and influence, who want to eliminate every vestige of religion -- especially Christian religion, or evangelical religion – from the public square. They want to expunge it. They want to get rid of it. They want to take away our right to worship and to have a prayer service in a government building. That's not unconstitutional!" Dobson said.

Dobson said 33 of 44 U.S. presidents have called for a National Day of Prayer.

"This has been our history. We dare not lose it now," Dobson exclaimed. "And we will, if we don't have the guts to stand up with that kind of intensity."

428-437Nick Vujicic, is a gifted Christian motivational speaker from Australia who will be speaking tomorrow night at 7:30pm at Lake Avenue in Pasadena (lakeave.org) – and, oh yeah, his ministry is called lifewithoutlimbs.org because he has born with a birth defect that left him without arms and legs – but he does have two small feet, and one has two toes. He's calling tomorrow night "From No Limbs, to No Limits."  He attempted suicide at age 10 because he didn't want to be a burden on anyone, especially his parents, but then he later came to Christ at 13, got really serious at age 15, and then got a double degree in finance and accounting, and now travels the world as an evangelist.

• Got this great email this morning from a guy named "Jay Windler" in Burbank.

My fiancé's friend was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2005 and was giving a 10% chance to live. Today she is 100% cancer free. But due to the chemo and radiation she was told she might not be able to have kids. Well now she is married and has a new born who was recently baptized. This year we are working with the American Cancer Society for the Relay for Life in her honor. She has won her fight but there are still many just like her. My step father lost his battle 10 years ago so I will also be walking in his memory.

This Friday, May 7th, there's going to be an ice cream social at the First Presbyterian Church of Burbank at 521 E. Olive Avenue in Burbank from 630-900pm. It's a $5 donation and there'll be ice cream, sundaes, floats and face painting.  All proceeds will go to ACS.

Thanks for maybe mentioning it on the show.

The Facebook page for the ice cream social is here.
