God our master breaks the brick wall inside our head, keeping us from him. Also the the mother elephant reminds me of or sinful acts and life when we leave it(her) And the twine reminds me of that small part of satan we have kept in our heart. Thank you for reading my thoughts Remi John 3:16 Christians are like the elephant we are trapped by the things of this world and we despratley try and break free,but we fail. God our master breaks the brick wall inside our head, keeping us from him. Also the the mother elephant reminds me of or sinful acts and life when we leave it(her) And the twine reminds me of that small part of satan we have kept in our heart.

Thank you for reading my thoughts
Remi John 3:16

You are right, society has told us we can't do certain things. But we can, and we should. We can do anything God has called us to, no matter what the world tells us. We can rise above low expectations and surprise everyone around us. We are the next generation, and if we don't stand up for our beliefs, who will? We need to be an example to the people around us, and prove we aren't bound by today's society. Thank you so much for this website. I just recently found it, but it's already an awesome experience.

Since mass, run-of-the-mill education has been introduced, we have gotten run-of-the-mill young people. Everyone gets the same education with emphasis on the same subjects, regardless of where their talents lie. As you have said in some other posts, we need to be more responsib;e for our education and not leave it to people who don't have anything to lose if we do badly. We need to begin developing our gifts and talents now, without leaving it till we are expected to. I know you've probably said a lot of this in not so many words, btu I just wanted to write this for myself and others. Thankyou guys for all that you are doing. I have only recebtly dicovered the Rebelution, and it's given me a lot to think about and a lot of ideas for doing things. Many of my relatives and teachers consider me 'extraordinary' already, but I realize now that I've started to be proud of that and do things for my glory rather then the Lords. Although I do more with my life than most of my friends and cousins, it's still a lot less than what I could be doing and I am definately not living up to my potential. Thank-you for helping me realise this. I will be praying for you and your work. Have you noticed how few exceptional men and women we have had in the last century or so?

It gives a warning to every age group about conforming to the world and loving what God hates that you will never forget. Also, whenever I read of the need for teens to step out I think of that verse in Timothy that says "Do not let others look down on you because you are young..."

Teenaging does not exist. It's pure invention. In the Old Testament, the child aged 12 was considered to be grown up, mature. And he was. Sadly, today we have 35 or maybe 40 years old teenagers. Hope you get my point. As someone said, at Freedom and Life Boot Camp Promo> "All men die, few men ever really live. " Boys lose their masculinity and girls lose their feminity if their minds are fully commited to this teenaging lie. God does not teach us how to be teenagers, He teaches us to be men and women.

This is all true. For most quite a while now I have noticed the wrongs in our society, and noticed no one is doing ANYTHING about it. Then I began to read your book. I'm not very far along in it and I can already tell that your work can and will change America as we know it. I have found the two brothers who can change PEOPLE, not just a person at a time. You can change us. I myself am a new just turning 14 teen, and I believe that your work will break my shackles. It will uproot my twig and cut my twine. As well as all the teenagers of our generation. This is true. This is all true. For most quite a while now I have noticed the wrongs in our society, and noticed no one is doing ANYTHING about it.
