I wonder if bible believe Christians will create relatively closed communities perhaps similar the Hasdic Orthodox Jews etc. These communities actively and mutually support their members by patronizing each other’s businesses, employment, recreation, living nearby, and participating in local government.
In the past, Christians were valued in society, business and government. Now, they are scorned in those arenas. Sometimes the best evangelism is the witness of virtuous living which can often be more easily and overtly exhibited in a supportive community.
A community open to the people of the world but not of it might be a solution. A light in the dark is great, but I feel that the light needs to be rekindled in a supportive community.

If traditional Christians do not make smaller loyal religious communities, they will end up exactly like non-religious Jews outside of Israel, facing certain demographic doom.
