Timeless Wisdom has Timely Significance

Image via Wikipedia
I am a regular reader of JD Greear's blog. He had a link  to a letter in a recent post. The letter was written by John Newton, the author of the hymn Amazing Grace. In this letter to a church leader who is about to criticize another church leader, Newton offers some profound and grace-filled incites. Many denominations are in the throws of great conflict around the issues of orthodoxy, my own included. Additionally, I see much rancor between the many factions and movements within the Church. May we all heed Newton's words. The letter is entitled, "On Controversy" and can be read here.
