A POINT OF VIEW

" ONE LINERS FOR YOUR SOUL" & ONE A DAY

              Take these seeds of thought below and turn THEM into a wisdom tree.

      Are you grieving, for whatever reason?  Would you then ease your own grieving time?  Then go out, and though still hurting or remembering how badly once you hurt, use your knowledge of pain to help others. Willingly search for some other hurting survivor.  Hold the palsied hand of someone old and alone, or give patient love to a little lad or lass who obviously gets very little of it at home.  Be a loving friend who takes a day off from work to stand in those final moments by a grave.  In other words, move from the theological to the practical

*******************************************************************************

Once upon a time, in the warmth of is mother’s womb, a small babe made some very foolish statements.


They were not foolish to him.

Since the first growing of one cell upon another he had known nothing else. In the almost nine months of his creation it had been the same and so he said, “I have never seen my mother’s face. Therefore, I have no mother. The totality of all my existence is in the womb. All my labors, my talents, my time should be directed toward this world as I know it,”


There are folk who worshiping at the alter of atheisms do this kind of thing all the time.

Who say, “I have never seen God, therefore there is no God.”

And from this they conclude “The totality of all my existence is the world I abide in.”

And they continue “Therefore, all my labors, my talents, my time, my money should be directed toward this world as I know it.”

“And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20: 28-29(NKJV)

       BELOW ARE SOME OF THE RAVE REVIEWS ABOUT "THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN."

++++++++++++++++

      "Positive, powerful utterances...skillfully enhancing our understanding and appreciation of Lincoln while revealing the Divine source of his strength."

      Lt. Colonel C.A. Olsen (Ret.) Asbury College (Professor Ret.)

"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's greatest theologian.' Why so great? Because he invariably distinguished between human works and the works of the Almighty. As Wyrick says, 'He wore the mantLe of humility easily: because he was more impressed with what God was doing in the world than with what he, president of the United States in the midst of an awful crisis, was doing. That is why in his last major speech he distinguished between both human causes in the Civil War and the Almighty's 'own purposes.' Lincoln would have agreed that it is better to leave God-talk out of politics than to decorate human proposals with divinity. This is a book for our American time. Through his careful study of Lincoln's career, Wyrick compels us to remember that piety belongs in politics only when piety transcends politics."

      Dr. Donald W. Shriver

      Emeritus professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York. Author of An Ethic for Enemies: Forgiveness in Politics

       "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 Lincolnshould 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. Dr. Wyrick is intent on demonstrating that the spirituality so often expressed in Lincoln's writings and speeches was not merely lip service to a Deity, but rather expressions of a profound faith in a real God. It was this faith that provided the wisdom, compassion, insight and sometimes steel that Lincoln would need in fullmeasure as he led the United States through the Civil War. Dr. Wyrick's clear and unpretentious style of presentation is very much in keeping with the character ofhis subject, and in so doing, Wyrick makes his point very well that Lincoln, his beliefs, and the faith that formed them, are as relevant to a troubled America in 2004 as they were in 1863."

      Daniel Allen Butler, author of "Unsinkable"; The Full Story of the RMS Titanic, The Lusitania and The Age o f Cunard
