Did Fr George need a degree and an understanding of French law, to do what he was doing in Nottingham? My thoughts would be, he just needs a childlike understanding of care and kindness. My first reply on this thread happened just after listening to a two hour zoom lecture on hope. The rich...

I think you have summed up the Bible well. We do things together to try and make our community a kinder and more caring place to live. Starting with the poor, the oppressed, refugees, widows and orphans. At the heart of Bible teaching, is the need to do something. My thoughts are to...

I believe this is at the very heart of Christianity. You will never look into the eyes of anyone who does not matter to God, start by looking in the mirror.. If everyone matters to God, then everyone should matter to me. The greater challenge is to see God in every person we meet, to treat...

In my opinion, sprinting is harder than endurance events, it takes a lot more dedicated training and effort to go faster.

I gave up smoking in July 1981 and started cycling to pubs. As the months progressed the pubs got further away. The following April I entered a 200k event, followed by a 300k then a 700k within a period of about two months. The following May I did the 1400k Lands End to John O' Groats in a 102...

I will tell my endurance story; but it pales into insignificance compared to the 'Worlds Hardest Geezer. His story is incredible, but I think he could have done more, if Africa was a few hundred miles longer. Russ Cook, also known as the "Hardest Geezer," averaged over 28 miles (45 km) per day...

Churches Together in our town pray together, pray for each other and pray for the needs of our town. Together we have opened food banks, homes for the homeless, debt help and more. The more we do together for our community, the more we feel as 'One'. I also belong to an interfaith group, I...

Jesus prayed that we should be one with each other, in exactly the same way that Jesus is One with the Father. Could the greatest commandments possibly describe how Christ is one with the Father? The Father loves Jesus as he loves himself. Jesus loves the Father as he loves himself. Could...

I believe we serve God, Jesus, in the way we serve the poor and oppressed. Matthew 25; 31 ‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from...

America could learn from India.

In America, 62 percent of all bankruptcies have been caused by medical debt. Humanity finds ways to exploit just about everything.

Science is responsible for medicine and developing bigger bombs. Humanity makes bad decisions.

Swords and medicine have advanced at about the same rate. If we were really smart, we would have stopped the advancement of sword technology.

I have been a Street Pastor since 2008. When we go out, we patrol the streets of our town until three or four in the morning. Before we start our shifts, we ask God to place in our path the people he needs us to see. When we meet challenging situations, we ask God to help us with the words and...

Jesus loves us as he loves himself, he died for us despite all our failings and differences. Thank you Lord. Passing that love on is the real challenge, as in Matthew 25,34 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the...
