Blog of the Week - Rebelution

As promised yesterday, I am going to start sharing some of the blogs that I have found that I find helpful, interesting, or just worth sharing for some reason.  

The blog for this week is from the website www.rebelution.com.  This website/blog was started by twin teenage boys, Alex and Brett Harris, when they were 16 years old.  They are the brothers of Joshua Harris, pastor of Covenant Life Church and author of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" and "Boy Meets Girl."  These boys are trying to challenge youth to rebel against the rebellious culture that is bombarding our youth with messages that are against the church and family.  They are trying to challenge youth to become young leaders in the church during the time of adolescence when society seems to think that they do not need to take responsibility for anything.  Part of the challenge is to learn doctrine and study theology since the church isn't challenging most youth to do just that.  They challenge youth to adopt 1 Timothy 4:12 and to return to the Bible's standards for character.  I encourage everyone (and especially those who are parents of youth, youth, or youth workers -- or even those interested in encouraging youth) to not only bookmark and read the blog, but check out the website and resources portion of the website.
