Theologians, of course, think
the study of God matters a great
deal, but what about you? Does
your personal theological under
standing of the truth about God
really matter much in every day
life? Even though you may think
theology is important only to the
ologians and church-goers your
personal theology influences every
thing you do more than you might
imagine. Your beliefs about God
are tremendously formative of who
you are in the world, your charac
ter, your work ethic, your moral
values, the way you treat people
around you and, most surprisingly,
the way you treat yourself.
By the way, everyone has a per
sonal theology. Even those who
don’t believe in the existence of a
supreme being have one. It’s one
that states: there is no God; there
fore, man has no need to worship
anybody above himself. That’s a
particular theology that not many
people really believe down deep.
Most people have a profound sense
that God is real and that they do
relate to him in some way.
How you relate to those around
you is strongly conditioned by how
you relate to God. For example, if
you believe that God is an ogre in
the sky always ready to pounce
upon you for each and everything
you do wrong you will tend to
pounce upon everyone around you
for the things they do wrong (espe
cially for the things they do wrong
to you). You will likely tend to be
angry and upset allot. But, if you
believe that God is loving, gra
cious, merciful and forgiving to
people despite their failures, you
will tend to exhibit those character
istics toward others. You will tend
to be kind, caring and courteous.
Whether you believe the uni
verse is God’s finite creation or
whether you believe it is an infinite
happenstance, your life will be con
formed by that belief. Do you live
to glorify and honor God, the cre
ator or do you live to glorify and
honor yourself, the creation? To
know with absolute certainty that

the universe is finite (it had a
beginning and will have an end)
points a person towards worshiping
the supremely sovereign God by
whom it was created. The unsup
ported belief that the universe is
infinite points a person towards
worshiping the things of the world,
especially self.
What about sin? Is Jesus Christ
the one and only savior? Was he
the sacrifice that paid for the sins of
humankind? Did he rise up from
the grave in reality? Are the bibli
cal stories true? Can you rely upon
what the Bible says as God’s infal
lible word? The way you live your
life (and your life itself) depends on
how you answer these theological
questions - probably more than you
realize. You do have a personal the
ology but is it one based upon
divine wisdom or is it lacking
knowledge and understanding?
At New Lebanon Presbyterian
Church (on each of 10 Sundays
from 9:50 to 10:40 a.m. starting
April 18 through June 20) a highly
respected minister or elder will
present biblical based theological
answers to some of these critical
questions. The 10 experienced and
highly educated men and women
are involved in various ministries
in Georgia.

Younger
worker’s guide:
Social Security
protection
By Cindy G. McCubbins
Manager, Gainesville
If you are a younger worker,
retirement probably seems like a
lifetime away. I would like to
remind younger workers and their
families about the valuable Social
Security insurance protection that
they are getting now through their
tax contributions.
Not many workers have private
long-term disability insurance. But
they do have disability protection
through Social Security, which
would provide benefits to workers
and their families if they become
disabled. That is important because
about 3 in 10 of today’s 20-year-
olds will become disabled before
reaching age 67. Social Security
disability coverage is roughly equal
to a $350,000 insurance policy for a
young worker with average wages
and a spouse and two children. The
average monthly disability benefit
paid to a family of this size in 2004
would be about $1,400.
Social Security also provides
survivors benefits. It is a sad truth
that about one of seven Americans
can expect to die before reaching
age 67. Social Security’s survivors
insurance is equivalent to $400,000
life insurance policy for a young
worker with average wages and a
spouse and two children. The aver
age monthly survivors benefit paid
to a family of this size in 2004
would be about $1,900.
A younger worker gets both dis
ability and survivor insurance pro
tection very easily. There are no
sales people to deal with, no med
ical exams and no fine print to read.
A worker under age 24 who pays
Social Security taxes for just one
and a half years is covered. A
worker under age 31 who pays
Social Security taxes for half the
time elapsed since age 21 is also
covered.

Social Security protects younger
and older Americans alike, log onto
