Should I change to PS from Homeschool to witness to teen peers?

Q: I've been homeschooled since 2nd grade, and now I'm 14 with the possibility of going into public highschool. The reason I might be going? Well, I want to bring more teens to church, and I want to help advocate for better education. The only thing is...

I have moderate/severe anxiety. I love people and I'm extroverted,  but I'm incredibly anxious about most things (E.g. do people want me around, am I good enough, am I pretty enough, etc.). I have prayed about it, and do try to rest & trust in Jesus. 

I just want to be able to fulfill what believers are to do... evangelizing my peers. Advice & prayers?


A: Prayers for your anxiety.

You do need to involve your Christian parents or grandparents in this consideration. It is not wise to jump into shark infested waters without thinking it through. The world can eat you up, esp at a young age. 

Give serious prayer to this, to truly consider where you are heading into [Demons den] if Public School is where you might be going. 👉You can instead go to private school, or stay home school and go to places where those local teens socialize instead and their activities and hobby places, and share the gospel with them there. You cannot do that during class and so only free time is where it is possible. That is only a couple min btwn class; too busy running to the diff classrooms to stop and talk. When else is there? At lunch and in a hobby/electives class. Or after school. That's it. 

Christians goals for that area biblically is to go into the world, preach the gospel and then those who get saved get added to the church. We dont bring Satan's children into the church as it damages the church and causes problems. We can invite teens to go to a day trip with purpose of sharing the gospel, but Church is made up of the redeemed and for the born again. Doing it other ways. .would be like inviting the enemy into our military base.

With that said, if you have social anxiety now, it will be worse in public school. It is a total cesspool. And, unless you have good confidence, no anxiety, no fear... and "years of" evangelism training and apologetics education... public school kids will eat you up. Plus the teachings in every class are very full of indoctrination of lies and doctrines of demons, that will totally brainwash you. 

You can totally avoid that. And choose an alt evangelism idea...

How about consider staying home school (for good and godly education), and go to public school campuses at lunch and after school to chat with teens there. No one will even know you are not a student there plus it is a public campus, you can legally be there. You can also go to places teens hang out after school [always go with 1 or 2 others from your church for safety and legal reasons, (also to avoid being bullied or kidnapped and harmed). Never go alone. Jesus sent the disciples out in 2 and 3s]. 

Be wise in your decision. God bless.

Fornication led to pregnancy

Q: Recently I sinned by fornicating again. I did ask forgiveness from God for being unfaithful again. I thought God had forgiven me (& I’m no longer participating in such activities). I had just repented and made the effort to turn from evil, but...just found out I’m pregnant. It was one brief moment!! Really and truly I cannot believe I’ve went backwards like that and my life feels ruined. I don't understand. Did God truly forgive me? Should I stop praying, because I knew better but I didn’t do better. I said yes to my flesh and now it’s costing me. I’m willing to lose everything else, but to lose Jesus because of my sin - I really cannot bare the thought. A: You dont stop praying because things dont go your way. Prayer is to align you to God's will, (not for him to act as a genie who does what you want). You becoming pregnant wasn't a punishment from God; it was basic natural outcomes of happens when humans have sex. You know Scripture teaches sex was designed only ...
