DO IT NOW!

Behold, now is "The acceptable time,"  behold, now is "The day of salvation" . . . (2 Corinthians 6:2b)*

Do you know what status quo bias is?  People tend to continue to what ever it is that they are doing unless there is a powerful dynamic that will make them take a new action.  If we are faced with the slightest bit of effort to change and make new plans we will tend to continue in our old ways.  We put off going to the doctor, getting perscriptions, or even taking them.  That kind of procrastination costs the United States an estimated $100 billion a year in extra healthcare costs**

Though it is easy to put off needed changes, make the big push, make a new normal.  Sometimes it is good to do nothing, but one must always assess the cost of doing nothing!  The blessings of salvation in Christ are available to all right now, but many put off the decision to surrender to Jesus because it does mean a new life.  Problem is that no one knows the future--tonight your soul could be required of you.  Eternal punishment is too big a price for doing nothing!  Are you willing to pay it?

Do it now!

Our Father's Love
