The Dawn Treader

Here is why.

"Some people have the talent to change the direction of the world.  Some have the talent to change the direction of the church.  All of us have the abilities to change the directions of individual lives. And we are accountable to do so. The keys of influencing the world are discipline, persistence, and patience.  The key to influencing the world in the right way is the gospel. If you are one of those people endowed by God with a set of talents that will allow you to accumulate influence in the world and eventually power, you ought to set about that business now."

I remember the first time I heard the name "Wilberforce".  It was in Greensboro.  I thought, "wilba - who"?  Now the name William Wilberforce is about to become well known in the U.S. ... and rightly so.  The movie which tells his story, Amazing Grace, opens this Friday (2/23).

William Wilberforce's single-minded conviction and Christian worldview compelled him to lead the abolitionist movement in England ... more than 50 years before the American Civil War.
