No one is panicking. Certainly not the evil spirits behind so much of what we see going on around the world today. Evil will continue to "win" by every metric until Christ Jesus will eventually put everything into submission.
As followers of Christ we have no need to fear in the meantime, even death is not the end. When you are no long afraid of the worst fear of most humans, you can live life differently. Being salt and light in a decaying and dying world is hard to do all alone, you need brothers to fight the darkness shoulder to shoulder with. Don't cut yourself off from the Body of Christ just because you've seen some weak Christians. They will stand before God and give an account, but so will each one of us.
May we not be quick to cast stones but rather build each other up as the Apostle Paul said "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Heb 10:24-25)
