Not to leave others out, ha...
Do you have a 'mission' for something else?
Want to talk about it?
Added: Gosh, I should have said...and can we keep it friendly!!?
If it's mean, keep it to yourself. Simple.
'Think it, don't fling it.' Seems fair to me.

well this is a hard question for me . because I repent all the time.. I don't care about people as much as creation, animals and kids. people are just well rank and down right mean . and I really haven't found many I liked much. but I do love people and want them saved , and I want them all saved .. maybe just so they are nicer to be around.but I fight with this question all the time.
for the most part I believe that if God's spirit has been preparing and like convicting them and they are in a needing something place .. then they will ask me questions just like the pharisee sought out Jesus and to ask him questions. and that is the only reason I sometimes type on this site because they are (pretending anyway)like trying to ask questions . usually on this list they are just trying to get a fight started they think they can win . but oh well. I told him I would try and answer if someone asked a question I thought I could help them understand better his principles more clearly to take to him and ask for his directions . so I try sometimes. well sometimes . I really don't like doing what his spirit isn't doing.. but it is hard to tell sometimes if the spirit is doing a work in them or not . so try and follow his spirit when I can .
I guess my "mission" is more to present a different perception of what it MEANS to "come to Jesus" than is so often presented with what I see as negative results, either by avoidance of the message altogether or by wrong conclusions on how to go about that relationship.
Wrt the OP, I do find the simplest approach to discussing spiritual stuff with my kids is to keep it 'Jesus oriented', and with respect to "inviting Him into your heart", there is something that they simply understand about that, whether they like it or not, but that's another issue. As for my developing views, I'm currently still kind of non Trinitarian, in that Jesus was exalted and given the name above every name, because of his obedience, but when he has done all he was given to do, he will be made subject to the Father who is all in all - what the tense is of that reality; present or future, I'm not sure, but probably both, dependent on one's own stage of resurrection. eg. Jesus related to the Father and was/is the way to the Father.

Yes. Jesus gave us the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20. We are to go and preach the Gospel to all nations, baptizing, and teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded.
So it starts with evangelism. It continues with discipleship.

How can you NOT, if He is in you being Himself, is what I want to know? G-d was in Christ RECONCILING ALL MEN unto Himself. Where is He now? In us? So what then should He be doing, if He's in you? Not that hard to figure out, is it really??? Peace

Actually, Jesus IS God. And he is now sitting at the right hand of the Father because he accomplished his mission -- to redeem his people. THe Holy Spirit now indwells Christians as we work to accomplish the command of Christ to preach the Gospel to all nations.
