John on John

It is the direction in which our life is travelling which determines whether or not our Christian profession is genuine. ... 
Perhaps John Newton, the converted slave-trading sea captain, who became a minister of the gospel, expressed it most helpfully when he said,'I am not what I ought to be; but I am not what I once was. And it is by the grace of God that I am what I am.'
