Lincoln’s words, for today

As the UMC went through a very difficult General Conference, President Lincoln’s second inaugural address rang in my ears:
"Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully."
Lord Jesus Christ, Have mercy on us, sinners. Amen.
