Welcome to a Reflection on:
1. Life’s Difficult Questions, and
2. How Those Questions Relate To Christian Belief
Notes on site progress ...
Much of this website is still being developed, especially the lengthy Discover section, but it has been published to make some initial sections available to friends.
The Belief and Creeds sections are well advanced.
The basic framework for the ‘Life’s Questions’ and ‘Reflections’ sections is in place, and some initial articles have been published. These sections welcome contributions from readers, so please let me know (e.g. with Contact page) of any thoughts you would like to share, or any questions or topics you would like to see included.
I hope to be able to develop this site to an advanced level, ready for release to search engines, by the end of 2025.

Purpose of this site
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?
How?
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?
Welcome to a discussion on
the hard questions of life,
and an exploration of how
Christian belief may provide answers.
For more on the purpose of this site — see About Us
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.
Answers?
If your are fortunate, you will find in life
that the contrast between right and wrong, and between good and evil,
is real, sharp, and absolute.
Yet it eludes the brightest scholars of our day.
So, we can’t expect to find the answers to life’s ultimate questions
by our own intellect.
A gift
and take delight in what we have been given.
Let us assume that good and evil 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 mainly for people who are curious about Christian belief.
I hope you will find that Christian belief is not about knowledge, it’s an experience of relationship. The difference is similar to having a map of the way to climb Mt. Everest, and the experience of doing that climb.
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 has no 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 Beliefs, an overview of what many people discover in reading the Bible (section 2), but which cannot replace your experience of (2).
4. A set of Reflections about various aspects of belief, which I hope will also be of interest to people at various stages on their journey of faith. Many are personal reflections I would like to share with you, but there will also be others which I hope you may find valuable.

Why so long?
We may search for a very long time, only to find all we needed was beside us all along.
Where and How?
To find the truth, we must put aside the noise of this world, and learn to listen in the silence.
