Comforts And Crosses
"As to daily occurrences, it is best to trust that a daily portion of comforts and crosses—each one the most suitable to our case—is adjusted and appointed by the hand which was once nailed to the cross for us! We must trust, that where the path of duty and prudence leads us—that there is the best situation we could possibly be in, at that time."
John Newton
Pastor Dustin shared the above quote in his sermon this past Sunday.
John Newton is perhaps best known as the author of the famous hymn, “Amazing Grace.” But he had a profound impact as a pastor. In particular, his pastoral correspondence through letters has been preserved and published so that we can benefit from him today.
