Why we need another Lincoln!

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Steve Hughes

I stood in awe again last night at the sight of the Lincoln Memorial, resplendent with empyreal radiance, illuminating the darkness above the DC skyline. And in my reverie, I was reminded that there are two primary reasons why Abraham Lincoln was the greatest president the United States has ever known:

REASON #1: He was a man of the BOOK!

REASON #2: He was a man of PRAYER!

Oh for another president who shares and upholds these core values: values that shaped our nation, values that made us strong; values that kept us anchored in the deadliest of storms! Where have those days gone? To our shame God’s Word and Prayer have been ignored; our Constitution has been compromised; our values have been revoked! Consequently, we have mislaid our moral bearings, we have lost our strength … and our anchor is no longer secure!

God help us! Send us another Abraham!
