Queries on Insurance
Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Luke 12: 22-26.
If we are not to worry, but to rely on God, why should we have insurance?
Are there some times when we should have insurance? What should we insure, and for how much?
Are there times when we could use insurance, but shouldn't? What needs does insurance satisfy in our economic system? Are there other ways we could meet these needs?
What effects does insurance have on other aspects of our economic system? How can we, in our use or nonuse of insurance, help to make our world more like the Kingdom of God?
