Rebel Against Rebellion
Most people would correlate the word “rebellious” with teenagers. All parents have a reasonable fear of the time when their cute little tykes will become big, rebellious teens. Today’s teenagers resent authority of any kind, especially that of their parents, and that explains the sole reason for their “rebelliousness.” Jesus says, “Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee” (Exodus 20:12 ASV). This verse banishes any of the justification that teenage rebellion has to occur.
