Some may not fear death but may dread the way they might die. Long illness, great pain, or some form of violence could be the means of bringing our earthly life to an end. We shall be wise if we are always ready for any experience which God may allow us to pass through. Is it not right that He should do what He will with His own? Is not His will infinitely holy, wise, just and good in all things? Does He not know what is best for us and what will bring most glory to Himself? Very many people have found they have been able to endure the things they have dreaded most because much more strength and peace of mind have been given them than they could ever have expected.

Please. As if Christianity or Jesus Christ for that matter must necessarily
equate with "conservative values." Many families are comprised of two
working parents because both are unskilled, have poor paying jobs, and have
to work to make ends meet for their children's sake. As well, do you know
how many people are inspired by listening to taped sermons or other avenues
for Christian communication on their car radio (or tape player) while
driving? Your point about the dissolution of community is well taken but
your examples and methodology are simplistic to say the least. Life is so
much more complicated than you make it out to be (or probably desire). Know
that all "Christians" do not understand the world (nor their faith) the same
way.
