When I say the word "Freak;" what do you think it means? 
 According to dictionary.com, Freak means: any abnormal phenomenon or 
product or unusual object; anomaly; aberration.  2. a person or animal 
on exhibition as an example of a strange deviation from nature; monster.
  3. a sudden and apparently causeless change or turn of events, the 
mind, etc.; an apparently capricious notion, occurrence, etc.  4.  a 
person who acts or dresses in a markedly unconventional or strange way; 
(verb Freak in action) to become or make frightened, nervous, or wildly 
excited.
  I saw something 
disturbing: a webpage describing the youth group as Teen Jesus Freaks.  I
 don't know about you, but according to that definition that came from 
dictionary.com; a freak is what I was before I came to know Jesus!  I 
think using the term "Freaks" makes them sound negative and worldly - 
something we're suppose to be separate from as Christians - what's wrong
 with Teens for Jesus, or Christian Teens.  Jesus is for teens; 
shouldn't teens be for Jesus?  Mark 5 describes a "freak" before he met 
Jesus, but after getting to know Him he was found clothed and in his 
right mind.  Not a freak any longer.
