Keep Moving Forward

“Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.” II Cor 4:16

In his biographical sketch of Abraham Lincoln, Willard Davis writes; “Lincoln had been elected president though not even appearing on the ballot in ten states!”

“Even before arriving in Washington, every mail delivery brought more death threats and ominous warnings. Close friends advised that he resign before taking the oath of office!
