This picture came up in the random photo and I thought it was timely as I think there is a movie coming out about the life of William Wilberforce.

Any thoughts? History behind this letter to share?

[i]Greg, I remember you had mentioned something about removing the image function from the forums. If there is a problem in anyway with this I will be glad to remove it and just leave the link if you prefer.[/i]

Thanks so much for that Paul. I love to hear the stories of the heros of the faith andI thank God for the testimonies of His workings in the earth!

It so happens that I'm just not watching a program by Dr. Kennedy on the life of William Wilberforce and when I went to refresh the page here this came up in the random article


[b]Amazing Grace![/b]

A-maz-ing grace! How sweet the sound--
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears re-lieved;
How pre-cious did that grace ap-pear
The hour I first be-lieved!

Through man-y dan-gers, toils and snares,
I have al-read-y come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has prom-ised good to me,
His word my hope se-cures;
He will my shield and por-tion be
As long as life en-dures.

And when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mor-tal life shall cease,
I shall pos-sess with-in the veil
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shin-ing as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Does Wilberforce's life make a compelling case that Evangelicals need to be involved in politics? (Edit: I find the question turned on it's head when you consider this man. The upcoming movie is one film that I'm looking forward to seeing.)
