Comment by Simon Hickman on September 20, 2011 at 13:05: Great article by Michael Lyon - "The parable of the unwise steward". Reminded me of the lighthouse story about the lighthouse keeper who died after being sent three forms of rescue during a severe storm but refused each one because he trusted in God - not for one minute thinking that each rescue party had been sent by God! Insurance is often considered by Christians to be not necessary, but it is a wise use of resources to protect missions. Who gave people the ability to think up and run insurance protection schemes - you know the answer!
