Nicky Gumbel
Knowledge is like underwear. It is useful to have it, but not necessary to show it off.
Nicky Gumbel
It is only when we understand the transcendence of God that we see how amazing his immanence is, and what a huge privilege it is to be able to enjoy God's intimate friendship.
Nicky Gumbel
The only label I would choose for myself is Christian, but if you pushed me and you say, 'What sort of Christian are you?' I'm an Anglican.
Nicky Gumbel
Don't let regrets about the past or worries about the future rob you of your enjoyment of the present.
