“This 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.” IfsThinkingWantMayUseWould BeChristianSoundChurchCatholicLabelsHelpfulEvangelicalDescribe Myself Author:Nicky Gumbel

“I was just praying quietly in tongues and I found that a really helpful way to pray. There are other times when I use the gift when I really feel I don't know what to pray or how to pray. I know what I feel but I just can't quite put it in to words, and I use that, I find it a helpful gift. I don't think you need to speak in tongues, I don't think all Christians do speak in tongues, nobody has to speak in tongues, nobody's forced to, but if somebody wants to I think it's a good gift.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayWantNeedsFeelsUseChristianFoundSpeakPrayingTongueHelpful Author:Nicky Gumbel
“I'm a Christian. I'm committed to Jesus Christ and I want people to know about Christ, because it's the most wonderful thing. People can say, 'I'll try and give up drugs,' or 'I'll try and live a better life,' but actually, if you're trapped in that lifestyle, you need, I think, some supernatural power to get you out of it. It's not easy to get out of the kind of lifestyles those people are in where all your family are criminals and all your friends are criminals - that is not an easy break to make, and it is a hard thing for a lot of these people.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantNeedsGivingTryingKindHardChristianJesusEasyChristBreakWonderfulDrugGiving UpJesus ChristCommittedCriminalsLifestyleOur FamilyTrappedWonderful ThingsBetter LifeHard ThingsEasy To GetSupernatural Powers Author:Nicky Gumbel
“My 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 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.” ThinkingWayNeedsHumansChristianJesusProcessUnderstandingChristHuman BeingsHealingOur LivesCreationAreasDiedOriginalsFallenHealedGod ImageRedeemedChrist Like Author:Nicky Gumbel
