IssuesIf God forgives everything, does it matter what I do?
Why do we need forgiveness? Christians talk about ‘sin’, which is a bit of a confusing, old-fashioned word. It makes more sense if we look at its original meaning: the Greek word for ‘sin’ came from an archery term meaning ‘to miss the mark’.

BlogWhy does God hate my gay friend?
It’s tragic that many LGBT+ teenagers think they would not be welcome in a church or a Christian’s home. For any part that we as youth workers, or the Church have played in giving that impression, we’re sorry. We’re sorry because it is utterly heart-breaking but also because it isn’t true. In fact, this anti-welcome couldn’t be further from the truth. The Church isn’t, nor was ever meant to be, a museum of saints (thank God!), but a place where broken people (all of us) get to come and meet with a God who loves them unconditionally.
