Difficulties come into our lives to develop us. Every storm is a school. Every trial is a teacher. Every experience is an education.
Nicky GumbelKnowledge is like underwear. It is useful to have it, but not necessary to show it off.

Nicky GumbelThis may sound pernickety but I wouldn't describe myself as an evangelical. These are labels, which I don't think are helpful. If I was going to use any label it would be Christian, and if you push me any further I'd say I'm an Anglican - that's the family of the Church that I belong to. There's nothing wrong with any of the other labels, but if you have any of them I want them all. If you're going to say, 'I'm Catholic, liberal, evangelical...' let's have them all.
