Can you share your beliefs?

I have been thinking about how difficult it is to discuss our beliefs with 'unbelievers'. There is so much at stake if we inadvertently offend the person we are sharing with. There are those of us who try to live out our beliefs on a daily basis, but are we ready to explain to people what we believe if we are asked? Now, let me clarify what I mean by my beliefs. If you have read any of my previous  writings you would know that I am a believer in the Lordship of Jesus Christ or more commonly known as a Christian. However there are additional 'earthly' beliefs that I have as well. My understanding of the biblical prophecies through out the scriptures warns all believers that tough times have been planned for a long time for this earth. Part of my 'earthly' beliefs is that I should make the necessary preparations for unforeseen if not 'foretold' situations. I need to put in place the  tools, food or emergency training so I can react to these 'conditions'.
There are a lot of smart people who have set up financial instruments to care for themselves and their loved ones but have they set up physical instruments, spiritual instruments for times when the money runs out or the banks close or the electronic systems that we all live on cease to function?
Everyone wants to believe that they are in a safe position based on the current 'system'. However few have accepted the 'signs' that are grossly evident in everyday news programs. The media tells everyone that 'all is well' but in reality it is a lie that they are told to tell and if they disagree with the  'party line' they are not scene on TV.
But, alas, I digress. Back at the precipice we are looking at the chasm and asking the question, why didn't anyone tell us about this? Some of us did, however we are small voices in a sea of "Babel" or should I say "Babble"?
Finally, what do we believe?
