“Physical heat sometimes accompanies the filling of the Spirit and people experience it in their hands or some other part of their bodies. One person described a feeling of 'glowing all over'. Another said she experienced 'liquid heat'. Still another described 'burning in my arms when I was not hot'.” PeoplePersonsSaidStillsSometimesFeelingsBodyHandsSpiritArmsHotBurningHeatFillingLiquidGlowingAccompany Book:Alpha - Questions of Life Source: Alpha - Questions of Life
“I think a lot of people do have questions about life, 'What's the purpose of my life?', 'What's the meaning of my life?', 'Why am I here?' ... It's hard to find a place where you can discuss those issues. You can't go down to the pub and say, 'What do you think the meaning of life is?' But actually, most people have those questions, somewhere in the back of their minds. And if you can find a place where you can discuss it with a group of people who, like you, are outside of the Church, and it's a non-threatening, relaxed environment, quite a lot of people want to do that.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantMindHardLife IsPurposeChurchIssuesEnvironmentGroupsLike YouMeaning Of LifeThreateningRelaxedPubs Author:Nicky Gumbel

“I think God is back, I think there is a huge amount of spiritual interest in the country. And I think the bishops are supportive of it because they see people's lives being changed.

“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
