Wow! That is one handsome couple!
The word “Rebelutionary” comes from the book “Do Hard Things”. It is one way of saying how teenagers can turn the world upside down (in a good way) for the sake of the cross. It’s the American teenager saying, “What, these are your expectations of me? Here, you can have them back. I’ll set my own expectations.” And then watch them blow everyone away with what they can do.
Let me introduce myself. My name’s Nathan DeFalco and I am Associate Pastor of Youth and Families at Amelia Baptist Church in Fernandina Beach, FL. Amy and I just moved down here not too long ago and enjoy living in the Florida weather. And this is my first blog. I do consider myself a writer, but must confess, I have hesitated to enter the blogosphere mostly because I didn’t want to be considered “one of those”. I’m not against blogging. On the contrary, I read many and respond to many blogs. I just never thought I would find a reason to start one. Well, at the encouragement of some people (mostly my brother), I decided to start a blog. I’ll mostly be talking about topics that are of life importance. Whether it be religion, politics, ethics, philosophy, history, or current events, I’ll have an opinion on it and I’ll want to share it so, what a better way than on than on a blogsite for all my friends to read. And since I am a Youth Pastor, many of my blogs will be youth related.
If you have any suggestions on topics, I’m willing to blog on them. If not informative, at least it will be entertaining.
Hi, Nathan!
Good article on FIC.
Our church developed a poor reputation in town because of exclusivist home-schooling attitudes (combined with several other spiritual maturity problems that were unrelated to home schooling), and it has been difficult to correct. It’s just going to take time.
I object to the statement “The church is a family of families”, as an unbiblical ecclesiology.
Also, congratulations on using GL as your avatar! I use him, also. Hal Jordan isn’t perfect, but he never inked a deal with Mephisto to erase his own marriage, eh? I would have had to dump Spidey as an avatar, if I’d used him.

Thank you for your kind comments. And yes, Hal Jordan right now is much more desirable to me than Peter Parker. Of course, I have never been much of a spider-man fan myself.
BTW, why do you object to that statement being unbiblical? Actually, I’m not sure where on my blog you got that. Could you reply to the article you got that from?
