the thoughts below read a quote from Rev. Wyrick's applauded 9th book THE
SPIRITUAL ARAHAM LINCOLN
+++++++++++
There are questions you had rather not be
asked. Perhaps the following are some of
them.
Would you allow someone to disrespect
your wife? Your mother? Your father?
The last time someone used the Lord's
name in vain (disrespected Him)did you say anything?
Is your answer "Oh, that's different!" Is it?
Is
this pollution of the air beneficial to society?
Why is it allowed?
Because people don't want to be considered a religious crank?
Religious?
Have you taken a stand for your faith and your beliefs and the
moral standards you believe in...in the last 24 hours...week...month...????
Does it make a difference? For what?
For whom? For when?
What is that phase "Go along to get along."
"Stand up, stand up for
Jesus." How many times have you
sung the hymn? How many times have you
done the deed?
It isn't like you are trying to sell your soul as one student tried
to do on e-bay several years agi but then by not speaking up is that not a
little like selling your soul to the wrong bidder.
There is a coin in a British Museum that was
stamped during the days oof Constantine.
On one side are Christian emblems and on the other side heathen gods.
"Where do you stand?"
Is it determined by the flip of the coin and where you are standing on
the day the coin is flipped?
White stone? Black stone?
In ancient times a judge after hearing a case would drop a white stone
or a black stone in an urn.
A white stone would mean an acquittal. A black stone (blackballed) would mean
condemnation.
Every day you in a sense walk around with
a white stone in your hand and a black stone in your hand...and the opportunity
does quite often arise...for you... to blackball your Christ.
In the mountains of East Tennessee, there is a beautiful little church with a strange name.
On the sign out front the name is
artfully written: “Compromise Church.”
There is a story behind the name. The
church had been built early in the 20th century and the congregation could not
agree on a name.
One group of people wanted to call it one name and another group was
determined to call it something else. The conflict in the church became so
severe that it threatened to break up the church family. In the end they called
it the “Compromise Church”
There is a time for compromise and there
is a time that was not meant for compromise and we all know the difference.

A
new quote (posted nov 12) below from Rev. Wyrick's 9th
book THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN (read the rave reviews below the quote)
Was Lincoln Union ?
It
is more likely that he quoted once again words of one of his favorite poets,
William Knox, “Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?”
As he walked the streets of Richmond , Virginia
When
an elderly Negro had run toward him shouting praise, Lincoln

"The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln is
an extremely well written book that investigates what might be
termed the spiritual side of President Lincoln. It's both scholarly and very
readable. I came away impressed at Mr. Wyrick's portrayal of the President and
with an altered and enlarged vision of the man:'
William Hoffman, Award winning fiction writer; author of Blood and Guile, and
Wild Thorn
"Wyrick has authored a wonderful
examination of the spirituality of one of American history's most devoutly
religious leaders...a pleasant and readable book that has a rich depth of
information."
Maynard Pittendreigh Presbyterian
minister
"When it comes to invoking religion in
support of any of their decisions, politicians need to sit at the feet of
Abraham Lincoln. Reinhold Niebuhr once called him 'America Lincoln Lincoln
Dr.
Donald W. Shriver
Emeritus professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York
"V. Neil Wyrick's fine work allows the reader to appreciate Abraham
Lincoln's Christian commitment and his prophetic role in American history.
Should have a wide readership."
James
H. Smylie Professor
of Church History (Ret.) Union Theological Seminary, Richmond , Virginia
"Neil
Wyrick's The Spiritual Abraham Lincoln should be read by anyone attempting to understand the man who was probably
the most complex person to ever hold the office of president of the United States Lincoln Lincoln United States Lincoln America

QUOTE BELOW IS FROM WYRICK'S
WRITINGS
There
is no other organization in the world like the church. It is a breed unto itself. It is a congregation of sinners, not a
country club for saints. To become a
member you have to profess your unworthiness.

Just
remember that “the pain of discipline will cost you pennies, whereas the pain
of regret will cost you millions.”

How can
we keep our faith from being a weak and fruitless thing? How can we not be foolish little men and
women groveling in the dark shadows of overeager egos.
Well, first we must do more than just pray. We must believe in our own prayers.

Anxiety
out of proportion makes us become like a centipede trying to put his best foot
forward.

It's
an old joke, I went to the doctor and I said, “Doc, when I do this, it hurts.”
And the doctor said, “Then don't do that.”
++++++++++++++++++
How many things have you been anxious
about that were things which you knew before you got into them were probably
going to create some problems for you?
And if you asked your doctor, or your minister, or common sense and your
God, all of them would have said, “Don’t do that.”

To buy into the
community of accountability we have to realize that like bikers we are divided
into two categories. Those who have fallen and those who will fall for anything. None of us are perfect.

Think
on it this way, some philosopher of old wrote it and it endures because there
is so much truth in it… every right
implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation; every possession, a
duty

A QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON MY
OTHER BLOG WYRICK'S WRITINGS ON SUNDAY APRIL 15. ENTITILED
Two stores faced each other across a very
busy street. Their owners were in constant competition
with each other. One day, the owner of
one store put out a sign that read – If
you want it, we have it!
Almost immediately the other owner put out a
sign –If we don’t have it, you don’t
need it!
A QUOTE FROM THOUGHTS POSTED ON MY
OTHER BLOG WYRICK'S WRITINGS ON THURSDAY APRIL 13TH. ENTITILED
WHO ARE
YOU?
NO…WHOSE ARE YOU?
Who are you? Whose are
you?
You influence and are influenced
according to the answer you give.
Are you are the flavor of the month because
you are determined to be like everyone else no matter what? If so, consider being more independent in our
thinking and actions...because God wants you to grow up.
It may be easier being someone's shadow but
wouldn't you really rather be a sun.
