When I first started preaching, someone once told me to “Preach to broken hearts, because there’s one on every pew.”
Sometimes, I think we spend too much time focusing on the head and not enough on the heart. In the end, what Christians need to remember — despite everything else — is that God is near to them.
Everything else hinges on holding fast to that idea.

CloseIn the 18th century, John Newton was another businessman involved in the slave trade. For forty years, he trafficked, sold, and stole other humans to make a profit. Then, he spent the last 20 years of his life passing legislation to outlaw slavery in England. He marked that transition by writing the hymn "Amazing Grace," which not only speaks to his enormous turnaround, but ours as well. When we identify the opportunity for redemption and hope that is staring us right in the face -- and act on it -- grace is no less amazing for us.
