Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes He lets the storm rage and He calms you

In every generation, the world is changed by a few people, who stand for something, do not fear unpopularity and dare to make a difference.

Life is a huge privilege and opportunity. God has trusted you with gifts and abilities, which he wants you to use.

I think a lot of people do have questions about life, 'What's the purpose of my life?', 'What's the meaning of my life?', 'Why am I here?' ... It's hard to find a place where you can discuss those issues. You can't go down to the pub and say, 'What do you think the meaning of life is?' But actually, most people have those questions, somewhere in the back of their minds. And if you can find a place where you can discuss it with a group of people who, like you, are outside of the Church, and it's a non-threatening, relaxed environment, quite a lot of people want to do that.

If we knew what people had been through, their sorrow and suffering, we would not be so quick to judge.

The resurrection of Jesus is rooted in history, grounded in scripture and confirmed in experience.

With our own shortcomings, we are in no position to judge anyone else. The best way to forget the faults of others is to remember our own.
