You have survived to write your story, I hope it was not too traumatic. Street Pastors was influenced by an incident in Jamaica. A friend of a church minister was shot and killed by a gang of youths. After the funeral, the minister and some of the congregation prayed, and they asked, what can...

We had our local JW round this morning for a couple of hours, we have known him for many years. I have been inviting him to join in with the various Churches Together activities in our town, food banks, homeless shelters, debt help, good neighbours schemes and more. Sadly, JW's can't work with...

We can look at the variety of life today, it had to come into existence somehow. The 'How' is the big question. There are millions of species with eyes, lungs, muscles, etc, but we can't test how these first came into existence. The ancient fossil records give us something to work with. This is...

Of course, but if your god created the universe and life. What was his greatest purpose to do so?

It's a very old story. No matter what conclusions the blind men come to, if we saw them, we would know they are touching different parts of an elephant. Calling something true, can only make it true, if it is true. Could God love each and every one of us as he loves himself? Can there be any...

The person who angers you, controls you. They make you think things and do things you don't want to do. They stop you being the kind and caring person you want to be. They could even be a thousand miles away or dead, but they still control what goes on in your mind. When you say he makes me...

Truth is truth, no matter what anyone chooses to believe. The creation of the universe is history, and you can't change history. Was the universe and life created by God, or did it happen by natural causes? If seven billion people believed the wrong truth, numbers won't make wrong beliefs...

As you say, mankind can make up any rules and morals they choose. But how can this change the truth? When George Bush said, lets go and bomb Iraq, does that make it right just because a government sanctioned it. If we look to God, rather than to man's ideas of morals, Jesus said, two...

I like this, the peace of God, which transcends all understanding. Philippians 4 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with...

We all struggle to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, he takes love and forgiveness to a profound level. Is the absolute truth, a moral truth? Could the greatest commandments fit the bill? Could God love each and every one of us as he loves himself? Could God love us more than he loves himself...

Yes, thank you. it is also in Numbers 6, 24 The LORD bless you and keep you! 25The LORD let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! 26The LORD look upon you kindly and give you peace!*

Jesus said to to the cripple, your sins are forgiven. And to show that Jesus had the power to forgive sins, he said to the cripple, get up and walk. When we are knocking on heaven's door, it will be more beneficial to have our sins forgiven, than to have the ability to walk through on our own...

Thanks Muhammad Isa.

This sounds like a colourful account of events that could have happened. We have a different understanding of 'clinically'. Had you said the boy shot the girl, and grazed her arm, we could make judgements? Or did he kill her? Was it premeditated? Even if we had these details, it would be for...

Injustice is injustice, whether it is Stateside or Africa. You gave one example of injustice, I gave another.

Tragically,thousands die every day as the result of starvation, grinding poverty and preventable disease. It amounts to a holocaust each year. Millions never get an education, millions go to bed hungry, millions are trapped in war torn areas, etc. How can these people deal with injustice...

With all the injustice, unfairness that goes on in this world, I think everyone has the right to be angry, at some point in their life. The question then becomes, what do we do about the injustice and our anger? I listened to Glen Fielder tell his story. He had grown up with David Beckham...

Some years ago we listened to some stories of forgiveness in Manchester Cathedral.. Afterwards, we sang a hymn by Graham Kendrick, and as we sang we were to keep in mind all the people that we love and cared for. That was easy, then we were asked to sing the same hymn several times, and to keep...

So much injustice happens in this world, that never seems to be put right. This can lead to anger, but anger is like picking up a burning coal, with the intention of throwing it at the person who angers us, but the person who gets burnt the most is me. Often, we don't get the chance to throw the...

I really can't understand how anyone could hurt a child in this way,
