Franklin Graham lauds election of theologian Lazarus Chakwera as president of Malawi
Evangelist Franklin Graham has lauded the election of former pastor and Assemblies of God President Lazarus Chakwera as the new president of the Subsaharan African nation of Malawi.
Writing on Facebook Sunday, Graham congratulated the new president, saying that he did a great job chairing a Billy Graham Evangelistic Association outreach in 2010 called My Hope Malawi.

We do have instances of tongues speaking in these centuries, but in every case the people speaking in tongues belonged to heretical groups.

Why, Timothy, since Frankie Graham doesn't know Jesus, I wouldn't take too much seriously what he says about Him either. He probably says that He's a Trumpia
If Franklin Graham said that Jesus Christ is a good person, Jim would start digging up links telling us what’s wrong with Him. While I haven’t read the full article and am not familiar with Chakwera, I would be more leery of who or what the BBC endorses than what Graham does.

The above is an interesting article that the BBC did about him. Of course I would automatically dismiss him with a Franklin Graham endorsement, but I feel a little bit better about him after reading the BBC article.
