Your age doesn't define your maturity; your grades don't define your ability; and what people say about you doesn't define who you are.
Nicky GumbelMy position on the issue of homosexuality is no different from the position of the Anglican Church and all the major denominations around the world. I know that it's different from the secular culture in the western world, but it's no different from the teaching of the church globally. We're Christians basically.
Nicky GumbelWhen things aren't working out as you wish, be patient. Stop trying to move ahead of God. His timing is perfect. Trust Him.
Nicky GumbelThe words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Nicky GumbelChurch is not an organization you join; it is a family where you belong, a home where you are loved and a hospital where you find healing.
Nicky GumbelI think everybody needs healing. My understanding of human beings is that we were created in the image of God but we are all fallen, and Jesus died for us so that we can be redeemed. Every Christian is in a process of healing in some way. God's original creation was good, and in some ways fallen away from that. And in every area of our life we need to be healed and restored and to become more Christ-like.
