We are very good judges for the mistakes of others, but very good defence lawyers for our own mistakes.
Nicky GumbelAppreciate those who love you. Serve those who need you. Forgive those who hurt you. Thank those who help you.
Nicky GumbelDon't be afraid of pressure. Pressure is what transforms a lump of coal into a diamond.
Nicky GumbelIt doesn't really matter so much what the words are I don't think - maybe if you're a real expert in prayer you could do it through silence. But I think sometimes it helps to express it and to know you're expressing it to God. Paul talked about praying with your spirit and that's basically what it is, it's expressing what you feel deep down in a language which God gives you.
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.
