Lincoln and modern myths

Sometime ago D. James Kennedy talked about Abraham Lincoln on his radio program "Truths That Transform". He spent the entire program pointing out the idea that Lincoln became a Christian before his death. In contrast to that is a book (one among others) that paints a different picture of Lincoln. The name of the book is "Lincoln Unmasked" by Thomas J. DiLorenzo. In the book you get the idea that Lincoln was never a Christian; that he loved a very controlling government, (even to the point of throwing dissenters in jail and suspending due process). The book also provides references for you to check out his claims. There is a lesson and reason why I am telling you all this: Christians need to stop being so gullible! (I include myself in the charge too!). If you go to IJohn 4: 1-10 you get the idea that we are to test all things; even things from well-loved, respected Christian leaders. By the way, Kennedy once promoted the idea that the Zodiac presented the gospel. (I am not making this up!).
