Many years ago, a young man used to speak briefly to our congregation on a Sunday morning. He did so from a twisted, sitting position that arthritis had frozen his body into. He could not have stood if his life had depended on it.
And I would suggest that there are those who have arthritis of the soul. Their morality and their belief system so twisted out of shape they could not stand strong and tall above the crowd if they had to.
They have wavered and turned before whatever wind was blowing for so long they stand for nothing while standing for anything. They have cut their consciences to fit whatever is the fashion of the day.
They do not have a moral backbone like the Grand Dame of playwrights Lillian Hellman. When it was not at first the popular stand, she stood up against the Senator McCarthy’s witch-hunting committee on communism in the movie industry and refused to testify. She decided he was fishing without enough bait.
Decided that, yes, there were communists and that communism was bad but not everyone he was trying to incriminate was a communist. And so courageously she spelled out her reason, “I will not cut my conscience to fit the year’s fashion.” Finally, she was proven right, but for a time she stood alone.

THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN
“A book superior in style and content.”
Quote from book below
This book is more than just a march down memory lane. It is certainly not a search-and-destroy mission as are some historical efforts. It is really a questing for an understanding of the man able to write, “He has the right to criticize who has the heart to help.” “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” “It is the duty of all nations as well as of men to owe their dependence upon the over ruling power of God.”1 “With malice toward none; with charity toward all; right, as God gives us to see the right…”2
When a president continues to think and speak this way, often commenting on sin and mercy more like a preacher than a politician it is worth taking a second look. When he called out for, “with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right,” 2 he did not just show humility. Rather he asked for a national self-examination and that God might be at the center of such evaluation.
