There’s probably not an easy answer to this question. There seems to be a tendency toward legalism in some Christian churches (not to say that a “do as you please” attitude is to be desired either). The “world” is too much with us, too, and regular Bible study would likely help that and the worry that goes with it.
For all of the failings of the Middle-East, one area where they are stronger than the West is their sense of family. If you’re part of a family, they will invest in you to help you succeed as a person. In turn, they hold you accountable to make sure you don’t quit.
In the West, however, individualism trumps everything. If you’re a person who hasn’t figured out how to move ahead and succeed, you’re largely left to figure it out yourself. Unfortunately, not everybody figures it out and we read about how their body was fished out of the river in they city section of the newspaper or we read how they were found with a needle in their arm.
I think that’s one area we could improve as a society.
yet islam is even more legalistic. And also South Korea which has a large number of charismatics is 2nd in the list of suicide rate
