Be a REBEL!

When you think of the word rebel, it brings almost a negative connotation to mind. Let me help you flip that concept. A rebel rejects accepted conventions of behavior. To rebel is sometimes used with teenagers when they partake in things like doing drugs, drinking alcohol, skippin school, and all those things everyone does when their young. So if everyone does it, how is it rebellion?!
With the recent cd release of Lecrae-rebel, it has flipped my view of what a rebel really is. He says that a rebel now, is those that read their bible, go to church, and follow as close as they can to Jesus. That's a REBEL! Because they are going against what society deems to be right or accepted.

Rebel lyrics from Lecrae's CD:

Jesus was a rebel, a renegade, outlaw/ A sanctified troublemaker but He never sinned, naw/ and He lived His life by a different set of Rules/ the culture ain't approve/so you know they had they had to bruise em/ that's the way they do/ man, they swear they so gangsta but everyones the same/ everybody do the same stuff/ tattoo, piercing/ smokin' up and drinking/ money and sex plus them extravagant weekends/ if that's the high life/ I'll puff puff pass that/ you leave evaporated like you missing a gas cap/ I guess I'm passed that/ cause I am in rebellion/ I'd rather have a dollar in my pocket than a mill-ion/ I'm scared to worship money, and my wants over Elyon/ I'll remain a rebel while the rest of them just carry on/this is what I live fo/ this the hill I'm buried on/ if Jesus is the truth/ that means one of us is VERY wrong/ think about it
