Positive Rebellion

Be subversive for the good. Question the unquestionable. Every time someone says “You can’t do that,” think to yourself, “why not?” Every time you find yourself fitting into the stream, ask yourself, “Is this where justice is?” And when you find everyone saying good things about you, find out what’s wrong with you.

Community Code

Every organization should have a foundational statement of belief or ethic. The belief of a hospital should be that of offering medical assistance to all who have need. The belief of a business should be that making money is a positive thing as long as done within ethical guidelines. The belief of a Christian community should be that Jesus is Lord and whatever He says is true. No one should allow one to join an organization that disagrees with its fundamental belief, or else they will tear that organization down from the inside out.

Rebel Without A Clue

Don’t be a rebel for the sake of being a rebel. To be a “rebel” in the mode of other “rebels” is the worst kind of self-deceptive following of the crowd. If you are who you are, and follow what Jesus says in the gospels, then you will be truly different.
