Life's Questions and Christian Belief

Welcome to a reflection on life’s difficult questions, and how they relate to Christian belief

This site is for people who are curious about Christian belief.

There are many videos on YouTube about Christianity, but I found much of that to be confusing or divisive, and unsuitable for the curious inquirer. Christian belief is not about knowledge, it's an experience of relationship, and I hope this site will introduce you to that experience.

Since I started to set up this website, I did an Alpha course, and I think that provides an excellent introduction to Christian belief by sharing in person with other people. But that can require a commitment of time, and entering a church can be a challenge, so I hope this site may provide an entrance to those further steps.

Life's Difficult Questions — a forum to look at questions of life for which this world doesn't appear to have answers;

Purpose?

What drives our lives. and the desire to move mountains,

is not based on human logic.

There is no accounting for love of beauty,

for desire to give without reward,

for love of another without return,

or the hunger for ultimate truth.

A gift

Just for a moment let us suspend this world’s mean scepticism, and take delight in what we have been given.

Let us assume that good and evil, and right and wrong, are absolute realities, and our lives are created for a purpose;

That our creator has given us all we need to know, and is actively involved in our lives.

I hope you will discover that makes perfect sense of our world, and fills you with hope and the deepest joy.

Where?

The path for our lives can be confusing.

Where is it leading?

Is this where we truly want to be?

Or where we are meant to be?

What?

How can we capture in mere human language

what is beyond human logic?

Or what we glimpse in a momentary reflection?

Or memories of dreams that fade in the light of day?

So long?

We may search for a very long time,

only to find all we needed

was beside us all along.

Listen?

To find the truth,

we must put aside the noise of this world,

and learn to listen in the silence.

Do you still dream?

In his song by this title, Chris Rea asks:

"Do you still see that tunnel showing signs of light?
