What should I study if I want to change the world?

W

MIRJAM WRITES: I’m asking this question because I’m graduating from secondary school soon. After that, I’ll go to university, so I already have to think about what I want to study. There are lots of options, but I’d like to study something with which I could make a difference (e.g. not just something to make the rich people richer). Any thoughts on how I could make the...

Any advice on how to forgive someone you hate?

A

P. WRITES: My sister and I have been quite unlucky when it comes to stepfathers. Our current one, who is very similar to the last one in many ways, has repeatedly put me, my sister, my real father, my mentally-challenged uncle, and several other people down repeatedly. Over the years he has screamed profanities at us, called us names, and insulted us. And these tantrums are followed by a period...

Should Christians legislate morality?

S

CALEB WRITES: Should Christians push for and create laws that legislate morality (such as laws about gay marriage or abortion)? Should we force non-believers to operate like believers? They will ultimately be judge according to God’s law, of course, but can you make someone who does not hold to the same creed obey something they don’t believe? What do you think? Share Your Thoughts in...

Can God use teenagers to do serious ministry?

C

CARSON WRITES: I feel that God is calling me to ministry, but how can young teens like me (14-years-old) help people turn to Christ? I don’t think people as young as me can do big things until we’re older and have more opportunities. But what can I do now? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

How do you rest when you’re constantly busy?

H

CALEB WRITES: I’m not new to TheRebelution.com or its concepts. I love what Alex and Brett have done and continue to do. But I have been noticing lately that I am more and more tired. My quiet times are not as refreshing as before and I’m always working ninety to nothing. What with a family, ministry, church, classes (dual credit and high school), a family business, and much more, I...

What are five things you’re thankful for about this year?

W

BRETT WRITES: Ruthie submitted this excellent (and relevant) question on Thanksgiving Day, but we all missed out on it since I wasn’t checking emails on Thanksgiving. Fortunately, as Christians we are commanded to give thanks at all times! And as we approach the end of 2014 and enter 2015, this is a great time to reflect on what we’re most thankful for from the past year. Share away...

Should we worry about money?

S

MCKENNAH WRITES: I recently read an Christian article that said that we do not need to worry about money because we won’t take it with us when we die and we need to save our treasures for Heaven. However, I am taking a finance course in my school and I think that money and saving is important and it is something that we should think about (e.g. budgeting, saving for retirement, etc.). How...

How do I overcome my fear of growing up? Advice please!

H

NOEL WRITES: I know people who can’t wait to grow up, but when I was sixteen and was called an adult, I cried! Humiliating but true. The same thing basically happened for my 17th birthday. And now I’m about to turn 18 and I hate the thought of work, college, and even graduating high school! I’ve procrastinated when it comes to getting my driver’s license, and I’m...

Is it right to joke about Ebola?

I

GRANT WRITES: How do you guys feel about Ebola jokes? I don’t like them one bit. When someone brings one up I either leave the group or change the subject. How do rebelutionaries in Africa feel about this? That’s the thing I’ve been wondering. Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!
