Quotes:

"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead where there is no path and leave a trail."  -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh because you are all the same."  -Daniel Knode

"What is a rebel? A man who says no."  -Albert Camus 

Scripture:

Ezekiel 11:12- "And you will know that I am the LORD, for you have not followed my decrees or kept my laws but have conformed to the standards of the nations around you.” 

Romans 12:2- "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. 

Titus 2:11-13- "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ." 

     School has begun and clearer than I have ever heard God's voice I hear him calling us to REBEl. I dont mean rebel in the traditional sense of the word, I mean rebel against the standards that this world is trying to put on us. The world says that you have to have a party story to tell on Monday, you have to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you have to cheat in class, you have to act up and be disrespectful to the authorities in your life to get a laugh, you have to be so busy making something of yourself that you have no time for God. The world will try so hard to get you to conform to it's pattern but it is time to REBEL. It is time for a group of young people to step out from the crowd and refuse to conform. It is time for the Godly to say no! A rebels' greatest enemy is fear....we refuse to rebel against it because we are afraid of standing alone. The greatest rebellions always started with one person that had the courage to step out. It's time for revival in your school. Stand up for Christ and he will stand up for you. You are that spark....join the rebellion today!
