Why She Didn't Fly

In 1971, Look magazine proclaimed, "Jesus is rising in California!" The Jesus Movement, as it was called, was heralded as the beginning of a radical shift in the hearts of America's young people towards God. Thousands of young people were heeding the call to, "Get high on Jesus" as they flocked into the Pacific Ocean seeking forgiveness and a new life in Christ. These were electrifying times that left a deep, indelible impression in the memories of all who experienced them.What happened to the Jesus Movement? Where is it today? Did it ever really get off the ground? Did it fly? Although it began with much zeal and enthusiasm, it soon lost momentum, and many found themselves right back where they started, wondering why they hadn't been able to take flight and ride the heights of the Earth. Most have gone on with their lives, settling back into a system they once hoped to change.
