I've wanted to be more aggressive in helping others but a quote from Jesus often comes to mind: "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Coming from this idea I've centered on my own spiritual growth and helping others in similar situations. Boy howdy, it ain't easy to bring light to someone who doesn't want to see. To come to a point, which is actually a bit different from what I originally intended, I think our actions should be mainly removing the planks from our own eyes and those who ask for help. We could start a message board! Oh wait...
Though I'm not sure exactly how to do it, I think one of the best uses of our time would be to search for others who are spiritually aware but don't have any support.
