Why the Church needs grace, not cancel culture

A young lady was riding in a stagecoach in the 18th century, reading aloud the latest hymn she had encountered to the male passenger opposite her. The hymn was Come, Thou Fount of every blessing. She read out the last verse:

"O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Take my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it from Thy courts above."

Hearing these words from her lips, the fellow passenger, Robert Robinson - the hymn’s author - broke down in tears. He had indeed wandered from the God he loved, as he had embraced unitarian beliefs (rejecting the traditional doctrine of the Trinity). Sadly, there is no evidence that he fully returned to his former relationship with the Lord before seeing his Saviour face to face.
