The Opposite Way

I am on a pursuit of going the opposite way. God calls us to live opposite from the culture; "the great reverse" I used to call it! Now, I have found this amazing band called "Leeland"(ages 19-25) who are challenging their generation to run the opposite way. YES, do it Lord! Change us, transform us, draw us, compel us to live in an opposite way from the world. Romans 12:2 (message) says, "Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it."

Lord, raise up a generation who refuses to be defined by the culture in which they live. That they would be those who say, "I will not compromise; I will live the opposite way."
