Luke 3:7 Study Notes...Vaccinations and Insurance Policies Excessive connect-the-dot-itis struck me again as I read my Bible's study notes for Luke 3:7.  It reads, "What motivates your faith--fear of the future, or a desire to be a better person in a better world?  Some people wanted to be baptized by John So they could escape eternal punishment, but they didn't turn to God for salvation.  John Had harsh words for such people.  He knew that God values reformation above ritual.  Is your faith motivated by a desire for a new, changed life, or is it only like a vaccination or insurance policy against possible disaster?" Hmmmm. Vaccinations have been in the news recently.  Insurance policy makes me think about Peter Strzok's famous text to Lisa Page. (Also made me think about the unfairness of many life insurance policies sold today that have maturity dates 40+ years beyond reasonable life expectancy and no cash value so you wind up paying 2x+ for the face value of the policy, but that's a personal issue...) Is it coincidence that I read this study note at this point in time when there are additional things happening that are connected at least by the words "vaccination" and "insurance policy"? Is there really evidences of God's divine plan working in our world for US if only we are alert and awake enough to see it? Hmmmm. Had to share my thoughts.  Ignore me if you wish.
