Rebellion vs. Rebelution by Elizabeth M.

The Rebelution is a movement that recognizes and embraces the authority of both our Heavenly Father and earthly fathers. This differs from the movements studied by Professor Heer. Youth movements of the past have lacked wisdom and direction as they sought to break away from the old and forge their way into new ideas and thought processes contrary to those previously held. The Rebelution is not calling for an overthrow of rules or responsibilities as some have, but of low standards and spiritual incompetence.

“Do Hard Things” is a motto more young people should adopt. It is a turning back to a world view previously held by generations of God fearing Christians who understood the role young people can have in His Kingdom. The Rebelution inspires Christian youth to live out their faith in practical ways that proclaim the power and love of Christ our King. This makes it vastly different from the radically self centered youth revolutions of history.

    Elizabeth,
    Thank you so much, this website is amazing and as you said this youth movement is very different from ones of the past. It is different also because it seeks to give God the glory instead of fufilling our own selfish human desires. God Bless

    I totally agree with this. I just finished the the book for the first time today, and I know it will not be the last.

    I only say this because starting this Sunday 4 of my siblings and I will be going through the book with my dad, as study for us older ones. And then starting this fall my church is going to be going through it, for the teens and adults class. I’m really excited.
