That’s a lie, isn't it? Almost every time you put something off it gets worse, not better!

I know, sometimes you have to wait, and waiting makes you impatient. But plain old procrastination is just putting off what needs to be done.

How 'bout you?

And Jesus knew that this is a common tendency for every one of us. In Luke 9, he said "First things first! Your business is life, not death. And life is urgent! Announce God’s kingdom!" (Luke 9:60 The Message)

To the man who said, "Oh, excuse me, first I've got to get things straightened out at home," Jesus warned "No procrastination. No backward looks. Seize today!" (Luke 9:62)

How 'bout you? Join me and seize today right now. Do the things we need to get done today!
