Why Not Now? A DVD Study: You Don't Have to "Grow Up" to Follow Jesus
In a society where cultural adolescence is lingering into the 30s, it’s no wonder Christian students often fail to confront the call to act meaningfully on their faith in Christ. It’s easy to package that commitment with big ideas like picking a college, a spouse, and a career -- and then to never quite get around to it. God, however, posts no minimum age on discipleship, and his book contains several examples of younger people both willing and able -- in his power -- to do extraordinarily difficult and necessary things with their lives for him. Why Not Now?, by Mark Matlock, shares stories from the young lives of Miriam, Joseph, David, Solomon, Daniel, and Mary to find why and how they said yes to God before they would have been old enough to rent a car in our modern society. All six of these people believed God could use their lives to do something that mattered. What is holding us back? By looking at those stories, along with those taken from modern spiritual role models, we can learn how to break the cycle of procrastination and dedicate our lives sooner rather than later.
