It's not easy for a young person to live the Christian life today. Neither was it in New Testament times. The government was corrupt, sin was rampant and open, homes were not always godly, and many believers were slaves.
Yet God expects believers, young and old, then and now, to live godly lives. So the New Testament principles must be as workable today as they were then.
Making the Most of Life includes principles to help keep young people on the right track.
