President Lincoln's famous paraphrase of Jesus was a wise word to a nation torn apart by the issues of slavery and states' rights. Lincoln's words are as correct today as they were the day they were uttered. The 2004 election has, in fact, divided our 'house'....Congregations of all denominations nationwide are deeply divided over this election."
