Countercultural revolution...

Where are the young counter cultural revolutionaries of our day - the young men and young women who abstain from sex before marriage, who refuse to use vulgar language, who respect authority, whose music does not glorify illegal drug use? All these things are boring, commonplace, mainstream. We need some rebels willing to go against the flow and live decent, god-honoring, pure lives.

I was, as a high schooler, one who rejected the world's mold. Too blasé for me. Living for God was much more challenging and exciting. (Still is.)

Try living for God. You'll see how hard it is. You'll need the Holy Spirit's help. You will be rejected for your Savior's sake. At the same time, you will show the way to holiness to your damned and dying peers.

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." (2 Timothy 4:12)
