True Then,True Today


"We have forgotten the gracious hand which has preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving Grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us."
(a quote by Abraham Lincoln,16th President of the United States).
These words read like they were written for the time we are now in.Again,could you imagine the uproar if the President said the above in a speech tomorrow?
