Counselors Need to Encourage Youthful Commitment to Christ
How many of us find the race of life to be like the tortoise and the hare where like the hare we run across the track doing what we want except running the race correctly? There is always tomorrow, or later, to win the race. Christian Counselors need to encourage youthful comittment to Christ!
This mentality exists today. Instead of turning one’s life over to God at a young age, people wish to experience life first then love God.
