Fear of Death

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
-Heb 2:14-15

Fear of death is the foundation of lifelong slavery. I wonder how much fear of death still affects my life. I am not talking about being responsible to prevent death by wearing seat belts, looking both ways before crossing streets, and eating properly. I'm talking fear here. Are there things that I wouldn't do for the Lord because of fear of death? Like becoming a missionary in Liberia? Truthfully, I have trouble even thinking of situations where fear of death kicks in because I never get that far because I'm so scared of man. You usually have to make quite a few people angry with your preaching before it gets to the point of death.
