Welcome to a reflection on life’s difficult questions,
and how they relate to Christian belief
Progress on this website ...
Although this website is still being developed, especially the lengthy Discover section, other sections are well advanced, so I have published it on the web in the hope you may find those advanced parts to be useful, or you may have ideas to improve the site.
The framework for ‘Life’s Questions’ is in place, and several life questions have been entered.
The sections on basic beliefs, creeds, and reflections, are complete, and the reflection section is being updated each week.
The forms for users to contribute to these sections have not yet been tested, but user contributions are welcome.
The Links page has several useful references listed, and there are many more which could be included, but user suggestions would be best.
The contact form is now working. If you would like to share any other thoughts, or suggest other topics or features for the site, please use the Contact form to let me know.
I hope to be able to develop most sections of the site to an advanced level by the end of 2025.

Purpose of this site
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.
How to use this site
This site is for people who are curious or perplexed about Christian belief.
I hope you will find that Christian belief is not about knowledge, it’s an experience of relationship.
And I hope the following sections, which broadly follow in sequence, will introduce you to that experience.
1. A discussion page about Life’s Difficult Questions — the important questions of life for which this world doesn’t appear to have answers.
2. A set of basic questions with bible verses for you to Discover what the Bible says to you.
3. A summary of Christian Belief and Creeds — an overview of what many people discover in reading the Bible, but which cannot replace your experience of the Bible.
4. A set of personal Reflections — about various aspects of belief, which I hope may be of interest to people.
Two other pages follow:
5. About — further explanation about the purpose of the site; and
6. Contact form — to send any messages you may have, or for people who wish to register as users with the site. Please use this if you have any concerns, or if you would like the site to show more about particular topics.
Purpose of this site
There are many videos on YouTube about Christianity, but I found much of that to be confusing and unsuitable for the curious inquirer. The purpose of this site is to:
1) Provide a brief introduction to what Christian belief is about;
2) Suggest possible ways to further explore and discover more;
3) Provide a forum to discuss questions about life and belief;
4) Share thoughts and reflections to encourage others in that journey.
Since I started to set up this website, I did an Alpha course, and I think that is the best 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 difficult challenge, so I hope this site may provide an entrance to those further steps.
