Most people think of John Newton as a hymn-writer and the composer of that famous hymn, "Amazing Grace." Few know him as an author of pastoral letters in which he displayed wonderful love and wisdom. Today, Pastor Nate focuses on one of his letters, entitled "On Controversy." In it, Newton gives guidelines for how to approach a conversation with someone you disagree with. Pastor Nate meditates on Newton's advice and applies it to our hurried and work-oriented lives. You can find this letter at: https://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/on-controversy.
