Consider...Insurance...

Consider sixty to seventy years ago we were ALL uninsured. Since insurance what has happened to health care? Insurance is like giving doctors, hospitals, and almost anyone that has to do with health care-- except the patient-- an invitation to 'charge what you want--someone has deep pockets'. I say--get rid of insurance all together. Maybe we are living longer...maybe not...but we aren't living better.  And none of it is improved with insurance.

It is human nature to make things in our own image.  No one is guaranteed good things will happen to them.  No one is guaranteed that their pursuit of happiness will, indeed bring them happiness.  Which it rarely does here and now on this earth.  We are told to,"lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal" Matthew 6:20.

In the -old- days people used to read their Bible daily and take a bath once a week.  In these days many people take a bath daily and never read their Bible at all.  They must think they can wash their sins away in the shower.  As if the more they wash the outside of the platter, the inside will be clean.

Matthew 23:25  "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess. 26)  Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also. 27)  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.  28)  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. "

This does not sound appealing to me!  People do not want to face their short failings.  They have been told that there isn't such a thing as 'sin'.  That sin is a figment of the imagination...


 What does this have to do with insurance? We put a lot of our treasure into insurance, and it seems to give many a false sense of security.  We hear that money cannot buy happiness, money cannot buy love.  We all know that money cannot buy good health.  In our world, it can't buy much of anything, and in reality, insurance does not really insure anything.    People, all of us, will grow older until our time comes to 'cross that river' from this life into the next.  Sadly enough many who have spent much of their money on unimportant things in this life will find that they are unprepared for eternity.

 Matthew 6:21  "for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also." Where is our treasure?

Put your treasure in the right place.  That is the best insurance we could ever have.
Hallelujah!  What a Savior.
