Don't worry about your future. God knows you completely, accepts you unconditionally and loves you wholeheartedly. You can trust Him.

I think 75% of the population of Great Britain are probably still de-churched. It's the younger end, the 25%, the merging generation, who have no church background at all.

Don't let regrets about the past or worries about the future rob you of your enjoyment of the present.

Even if you are at the peak of your career, and almost everyone is on some type of ladder to success and waiting to get to the top of their profession, but even if you get there is it enough? So think of this now rather than when you get there and not have thought about it before.

I have found on Alpha that those from an essentially enlightened background feel at home with the parts of the course which appeal to the mind, but often have difficulty in experiencing the Holy Spirit.

Church is not an organization you join; it is a family where you belong, a home where you are loved and a hospital where you find healing.

Life is so short. Grudges are a waste of time. Laugh when you can, apologise when you should, and trust God with what you cannot change.
