“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” — Jeremiah 6:16
The last true rebellion is not against kings or rulers, but against the restless, hollow life of modern ease—a return to the sacred, to the path that leads to Christ. —D.

The hunger in men’s souls is the mark of our time. They live in a world drowning in ease yet starving for meaning. Screens link them to everything and everyone, yet they have never been lonelier. They glut themselves on pleasures that fade before they can satisfy. And beneath it all, deep in the marrow, there is a restlessness—an urge to rise, to break free. But breaking is not enough. To tear down walls, to shatter glass—these are empty rebellions, nothing more than dust in the wind. The fight that matters is deeper. It is the battle against the slow deadening of the heart, the turning away from the hollow lure of wealth, the bitter spell of greed, the empty chase of name and standing.
This is the true rebellion—the last rebellion. A turning back to the old road, the one nearly lost, buried beneath the rubble of modern life. It is not a road of ease. It asks for courage, for humility, for the bold step away from the bright mirage of this age. It is not about toppling kings or burning buildings; it is about standing firm, about seeking rest for the soul in a world that runs itself ragged. It is about refusing to be lulled, refusing to be tamed by the empty comforts of a culture that has forgotten its roots, a world that no longer knows how to still itself before God.
To rebel now is to seek the sacred. To turn from the flickering lights, the restless want, and root ourselves in what does not fade. It is to stand against the culture of death, to step into life—not the pale shadow the world offers, but the full, unbroken life found only in Christ. The old ways call, the stillness waits, the path stands firm beneath the noise. The ones who walk it will not be many. But they will be free.
