Fear
Anxiety and fear, they continue to be at a premium these days. Terrorists, immigrants, homosexuals, homeless persons, you name it and we're afraid of it. We give our apparent assent to "warrantless surveillance" and opposed the recent Dubai Ports deal, largely out of fear.
As a person of faith, I'm supposed to live in love not fear. I John suggests that love and fear are incompatible. So how should I live my life? Preparedness is a virtue, but if totally driven by fear then we will close ourselves off to life and even to God - no that's something to fear.
