Standing up for traditional values is going to be hard. That is why we have to be true revolutionaries. We will come under attack. Dan Cathy from Chick-fil-a said they support an organization that supports the traditional family (one man and one woman in marriage). The backlash has been huge, simpy because Chick-fil-a is a company that follows Biblical ideals.
In a similar situation, the Sioux City Gospel Mission is under attack because it does not support same sex marriage, and asks people from refraining from sexual conduct of any type while in the mission. This has sparked outrage and protest of the Gospel Mission, an organization that seeks to help people who are in need and operates from a faith-based position.
As revolutionaries, if you speak out, if you say you stand on Biblical ideas and do not support something in the culture, you will be attacked. You will be slandered, people will hate you, but remember they hated Jesus first. The first step to becoming a true revolutionary is to be able to stand up when everyone is telling you to sit down. To trust the Bible, when everyone else is telling you it's wrong. To push against the current of society when society tells you to abandon the things you believe. It's won't be popular. It won't be fun and sometimes you will be saddened when you stand on the opposite side from the people you love and care about.
Remember, in all things we are more than conquerors. We are Revolutionaries!

Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?
I am looking for a handful of students who are willing to stand up, be on mission, who are solid. These students must be solid, maturing believers who are active in a community of faith. I need some students to give away some free resources too, who want to start a Bible Study or Christian Organization on their campus. If you are such a student or know of such a student, email me at jdanbarnes@yahoo.com. Thanks Revolutionaries.

What is the RI- Updated
What Is the Revolution Inversion- Updated edition
The
Revolution Inversion is the changing of the culture where we live,
work, study and play in a positive direction. For years, society has
pushed the boundaries of behavior, speech, dress and attitudes. They
have thrown out respect, values and morality in exchange for instant
gratification, selfishness and rebellion. It’s time for the
Revolution from this generation to inverse, to move back to a trend
of moral behavior and responsibility. Respect, love and dedication to
God, their families and each other is the goal. This is the opposite
of the moral depravity that we have today. Instead of Christian being
fearful of what the world is doing, Atheists need to worry about the
sweeping breath of belief and worship of the Lord Jesus Christ and a
commitment to the Father.
Vision
The Vision of the Revolution Inversions share the good news of Jesus Christ with others by getting them involved in a small group, composed of an indigenous leader to grow the group and spread to many small groups. Those groups will either join together to form a larger organization and a network structure, or remain independent in cooperation to reach out. These groups will be in public schools, college dorms or unions, workplaces, neighborhoods, apartment complexes, mobile home parks, or anywhere people gather regularly.
Mission Statement
Our purpose is to deliberately display the love of Christ for our communities in a way that inspires them to become committed followers of Jesus Christ in fulfillment of the Great Commandment and Great Commission.
The Plan
The plan will begin with an individual or a group working build relationships with believers to form a core group. This group will commit to meet together on a regular basis for prayer and bible study. This group will work together to develop a set time and routine for what will grow into the Bible study. As the group grows, it can mature into a church, a network, or begin other small groups that remain independent.
The focus of the group must be the small groups. Any large group exists to bring the groups together for fellowship and worship on a regular basis. The large group meetings should be monthly or every other week. The large group should be for people to get to know one another, a time of worship and fellowship and large mission projects that include everyone. The main outreach is done in the small groups, and the large group should focus on those small groups, what groups are meeting and when, to make sure people can attend the group they desire to be in.
The Goal
The purpose of Revolution Inversion is to make a movement, to change lives, to change eternal destinations and to create a way to share Christ with the people you spend your time with. Thanks for joining us on this ride!
