2. EVERYONE SUFFERS LOSS Loss- waste; failure to obtain or keep These losses remind us that God’s laws apply to everyone. –Regardless of how righteous we live –God never promised us life w/o trial/losses Early church Satan works harder on us Man has devised a means to combat physical loss.

3. INSURANCE COMPANIES Insurance can’t prevent losses. –Only repairs or replaces –We can’t see the future in order to prevent. We don’t trust our protection with just any insurance company. –In light of today’s failure in big business What do we look for in an insurance company?

4. WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN AN INSURANCE COMPANY How old? –Has it stood the test of time? What does it cover? Age limit/maturity Pre-existing conditions When do benefits begin? What will forfeit the policy?
