I’ve lived long enough now to have seen several members ( are at least adherents ) in the COG die without insurance, this often throws the larger family off budget, especially so if there has been large medical costs leading up to the death. My home COG had a motorcycle death recently and the young man had no insurance, it put a real burden on his family. Burial insurance is very inexpensive when purchased at an early age.
At the same time the church where I go now, it seems that everyone is well insured, some leaving $ 5,000.00 and more to the church. Others leaving enough to give their grandkids a good education. There is something about our emphasis on the rapture that leaves us unprepared for the certainty of death here on earth.

how much are you leaving to the Church?

Saving, investing, and owning insurance should be looked at with the same common sense as owning a refrigerator. Just because Jesus is coming back doesn’t mean I need to let my milk spoil.

If you really believe in the rapture (and are sincere about it) you would not own a freezer and would keep the fridge stocked for only a week.
Who really believes in the rapture? Most people hold onto it as a docrtine

I believe in the Rapture! And I’m praying it comes soon! Even so, come, Lord Jesus! What in the world does owning a freezer have to do with believing in the Rapture. Bro Charles, you amaze me. The more I read your comments, the more your thinking amazes me. I don’t know you, so I have no idea if you’re carrying on just to be carrying on…but I do enjoy reading some of your comments..:)

To be a pastor. Unless he is just carrying on. How did you ever get a soul won to God. I guess by telling them just get a freezer. And you will be ok. I’m like Brenda Smith. You got some strange beliefs if you are serious about these things.
