Romans 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
This sounds non threatening and productive. May it be taught and done more. God bless you more. The Best!
PS Here are insights into understanding the Holy Spirit.
1. If we had the spirit of Tiger Woods, we would
all be great golfers. When we have the Holy Spirit and use it, we can
be excellent disciples of Jesus. - Central
2. If the Holy
Spirit were Alka Selzer, it would only permeate water if it was
unwrapped and then put in the water. Follow Holy Spirit nudges.
3. If we do things on our own, it is like blowing up a
balloon on our own and then bouncing it to keep it off the ground-
getting down. If we get filled with God, we are like a balloon filled
with helium that gets filled and goes up. When we repent, pray, obey,
and read and do the word, we can stay up with His Spirit.
4. Illustration similar to Holy Spirit walk: One pastor saw a
blind woman with her seeing eye dog. She had come to a cross walk.
When she stepped toward the car, the dog gently nudged her away from the
car. She got upset, kicked the dog, stepped into the car, started
crying, backed up, hugged the dog while crying, and profusely
apologized.
5. Shushing someone and not letting them finish in normal
circumstances is rude and hurts. How often have we done that to the
Holy Spirit?

The Crusades were before Bibles were translated and distributed to the people
Some people dismiss Christianity because of the Crusades- which were military operations launched by the Roman Catholic Church from the 700's until the 1400's periodically. When the Bibles started getting to people- fully translated in the 1500's because of William Tyndale's sacrifice, people read and realized that the "love of God leads people to repentance" and to Him. If people realized this more I believe they would read the Bible and know Jesus. God bless you.

Romans 2:4 - Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

Rest in the Spirit / Holy Ghost - We are haunted in a good way...love...
May our flesh rest in the Spirit like a surfer who easily surfs a constant smooth wave with no snafus...
The physics formula for work is work = effort / resistance .
Jesus has done the work at the cross. When we keep ourselves filled with His Spirit and the truth of the Bible and doing what the word says through the power of the Spirit, we are receiving His work and can live at rest in His Spirit. If we mess up, we say we are sorry, repent truthfully, and work to do right again and forgive. Love.
Hebrews 4:3 KJV King James Bible
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
(for we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what He has said: So I swore in My anger, they will not enter My rest. And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world,

Combating Suicide
The following is a comment I made on http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/03/health/suicide-rate-rises-sharply-in-us.html .
To combat suicide more engaging activities and good risk taking needs to be taken. For instance having community gatherings where beer and drugs are not the life of the party would help. More community watches that lets people have purposes will help. People will feel more useful.
Monitoring what subliminal messages are in shows and in advertising and warning people of what they are putting in their subconscious would help. I have seen an ad in the making and saw a subliminal screen and do not know how often this is done; it prompts me to avoid shows and commercials.
People in the USA going after their dreams and being entrepreneurs instead of putting all their eggs in one basket and only going after someone else's vision will help.
Vouchers for children to go to schools their parents choose would help. Competition makes people increase their standards. When people are more useful, they feel more purpose. If they help others, they feel loved.
People not basing their worth on wealth will help. Basing their worth on who Jesus says they are and working to live by the Holy Spirit will prevent suicide. If people who know and love Jesus had more parties, there would be less suicide because people would know Him more and want to live better lives because they would be won over by people being good ambassadors for Him.
