The life with Christ has nothing to do with being in a "church" atmosphere for all eternity. God’s salvation involves far more. He is planning to make his children productive, creative, useful, and supremely happy, within an environment of spiritual perfection, health, peace, and love. Through Jesus' death on the cross, and his resurrection, the power of evil in the world is broken.
There is a large range of issues where Church should interact with politics in such areas as poverty and inequality, environmental issues, nuclear and chemical weapons and the harm caused by use of drugs and drinking. Some people think that involvement in political life is something Christians should avoid. But God is present everywhere, including political institutions.
The supportive small group inside the Church is the most powerful tool for people to feel that they belong and also to learn and grow.
The demands of modern life may leave someone stressed and overloaded, or isolated and feeling useless. Be persistent, and success will be definitely achieved.
