Great Bible Verses

As a rebelutionary, I love reading passages that just seem to say "what are you doing sitting still?" The following are some of my favorite passages from the Bible. (Just thought I'd share them.) I know that if I had the time, I could sit here and explain what each of them mean to me, and why I think they explain the Rebelutionary message, but I don't have time. (And I think that they are all pretty much self explanatory.) Anyway, here they are, and I hope you Enjoy!




Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do.



Titus 2:11-14
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.



Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

Hebrews 13:20-21
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Colossians 1:16
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.



Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you." declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Comfort zone

Have you ever watched a bubble float around aimlessly in the sky? It's oblivious to the world, doing it's own little thing. It doesn't have a purpose or a goal. It just floats there, useless, until the world reaches out and touches it. Suddenly, it pops - it just can't take the pressure.
I've been homeschooled all my life, and my mom has always been standing right there beside me. I've never had to stand up to a bully. I've never had to be alone, without someone to back me up. And so I get scared. I get scared of the stupidest things, like walking into Walmart alone, or even giving my order to a waitress. I've built a wall around myself, and I'm terrified of what's on the other side.
This bubble I've trapped myself in is my "comfort zone". It's what I'm good with happening, it's what I'm good with doing. It's where I can lean back and relax. It's pure selfishness, really. I'm saying "no" to what other people (and God) need me to do, just because I'm not comfortable doing it.
When Jesus called his disciples to Him, it wouldn't have been easy to follow. They would have to step outside their comfort zones. Do you think they thought, What will my neighbors think of me? or, How in Israel am I going to support my family? They had to trust in God instead of themselves. That took faith. That took them outside of their comfort zone.
Even Jesus had to stride out of his comfort zone. It wasn't easy to leave behind a crown in Heaven, or to be humbled to human flesh. But he chose love over comfort. He did it to glorify God. And that's the whole reason we were put on this Earth in the first place, isn't it? To bring glory to God's name.
So, it's your decision. You can push yourself now in the easy things, so that when God calls you to bigger things you'll be ready. Or you can be like the rest of the world. Comfortable, but useless.
