Sunday is Lincoln Sunday. I have been hard at work at the special Lincoln sermon, which will feature a study of the Gettysburg Address and Paul's sermon recorded in Acts 13. I hope that it is worth all the effort -- I think it will be. It is called "A Few Appropriate Remarks: Abraham Lincoln and the Search for Meaning," and it challenges us to appreciate how we find and share meaning in our lives, including in our lives of faith.
In addition, the service will feature music that would have been sung in churches during Lincoln's lifetime, including the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The scripture will be read out of the King James Bible, which was the Bible that Lincoln read -- and which obviously influenced the words he spoke at Gettysburg. It should not only serve to celebrate the legacy of Lincoln but to inspire and deepen our faith.
