Summary: In this article, we discuss how Insurance, in general, has taken the place of turning to God and asking for his help and protection and provision.
What was the beginning concept in the birth of insurance? For example house insurance, in the case of a fire? Simply put, you pay a small amount each month, and if your house is destroyed, then the insurance will replace your house. Life insurance came into play when people earned money, but could not save up sufficient money to take care of their family if the wage earner was to die. Car insurance did the same thing, replace the car.
Solution I just won’t Go to Church I treat this position some people take towards church with some principles from the Word of God.

As I have been visiting new churches trying to raise more support for our ministry, something is wrong. Seems every time I have had to return and do more deputation to raise more money, I have to “remake myself”. I do this by by analyzing what I am, what I am called to do, and putting that forth to churches to try to get them interested in me. It has been a difficult thing over my entire ministry and life. It never gets easy it seems.
But this time, things are very different. Nobody is interested it seems. As I analyze this, I am finding that things are worse than I had ever imagined. One thing is that I am not very “appeasing” to people, but what I am finding is shocking and highly discouraging…
What is a biblical New Testament Church? There is a principle that says, you cannot hit a target if you don’t know what it is. Simply put, we as “church” cannot be “church” if we don’t have a firm concept of what “being the church” consists of. I read works by people who attack and are antagonistic to the traditional church (mostly negativism), and those who would transform it into something else.
