punk.

a different, non-self-destructive kind of punk:
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2)

"I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them [crap], that I may gain Christ and be found in him..." (Philippians 3:8-9)

"Fight the good fight of the faith." (1 Timothy 6:12)
