Topic Sentence: First and foremost, cashless society is all about control. 2. Support: Imagine this odd situation where something unexpected and unhealthy such as a computer virus attack happens and your bank’s database gets deleted or tampered. Instantly you can go from the richest guy around to the poorest church mouse around. Now let’s take it further by assuming this computer viral attack was actually orchestrated knowingly by someone whose plan is to financially control you. ...

...Health Insurance- Blessing for people with busy life The word insurance truly mentions security. Security against life, health, family,vehicle,homes, shops,etc. In earlier years, there was no need to this kind of thing for the protection. I am talking about days of our grandfathers or may be even before that. The life was so great and slow, nothing to worry about any future, would involve in their daily occupational jobs like farming and living life in their own way. But it is said that nothing is permanent. The time has change now. Today we live in a much advance world. The change is faster than time. The daily routine got so much fix that we cant even take out some time to enjoy. People work in office as well as in home too. Social life is like getting extinct from their life. No time to eat even hygienic food on time. Just grabs some cafeteria served items and forget about its effects. As “no time” kind of thing ruling our life. We almost neglect our health and when any weird kind of stuff happens! Doctor is the second word that comes in our mind. First is the expense if the condition got severe. We can’t change this situation, neither can we escape from it. We have to work, look at our family and their future, about your dreams, and so to earn this, we have to get a job that offers salary far from your expectation but if salary is well then the work load will also be high. In fulfilling your daily task, you forget about your health! So it’s better to have an insurance...

...2 Tim. 3:1 describes these days as “perilous times”, and for good reason, as you will see in the following article. Many people erroneously think that no signs have to happen before the Rapture occurs. This is a myth that unfortunately, exists in many Christian circles and is taught in Seminary, but nothing could be further from the truth. Therefore, it is believed that, because the Apostle Paul and others from the New Testament/ First Century believed the Rapture was imminent and would happen in their lifetime, that our position as Evangelical Christians now should be that there are no signs to watch for in the End Times and therefore the Rapture could happen now or a thousand years from now. I believe this is an incorrect belief, because the signs we are to watch for (Mark 13:32-37) are prophecies still being fulfilled. Obviously, they were not all fulfilled in the First Century. A good twenty-five percent of the Bible is prophecy, and much of it concerns the end times. So it would make complete sense when Jesus commanded us to watch for Him, to be alert for His Trumpet Call as our Blessed Hope and not be discouraged because of the times we are living in. Jesus said to the Pharisees, "[Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?" (Luke 12:56) Meaning that the Pharisees should have been discerning about the times they were living in and watching those signs. And notice He called...
