A lot of problems in the world would be solved if we talked to each other instead of about each other.

Life is so short. Grudges are a waste of time. Laugh when you can, apologise when you should, and trust God with what you cannot change.

Kindness is better and can be more powerful than force. Kind words may unlock an iron door.

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.

I think 75% of the population of Great Britain are probably still de-churched. It's the younger end, the 25%, the merging generation, who have no church background at all.

I 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.

Church 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.
