THE SIGN OF THE FISH
The figure of the fish was first drawn by early Christians as a secret mark of identity in the time of persecution. The earliest followers of Jesus were persecuted and forced to worship in secret locations. They adopted a secret symbol – the fish. The letters in the Greek word for fish (Ι Χ Θ Υ Σ) stand for Ι-Jesus, Χ-Christ, Θ-God’s, Υ-Son, Σ-Savior.
The fish symbol transcends differences in cultures and denominations. From generation to generation, the fish symbolizes true followers of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
As AmericaQuote’s owner and a Christian, I wanted to use this space to share my perspective on life and business… I believe the life of a Christian should be committed to glorifying and serving God through his or her lifestyle. God gave us the ten commandments to guide our lives. In the book of Matthew 22:37-39 (New Testament), Jesus was asked what is the greatest commandment of all. This was His answer: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it; You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (New American Standard Version)
Taking this second commandment and applying it to selling insurance, we are commanded to present honest and accurate information. A simple way to say it is… treat people fairly as I would like to be treated if I were buying something. By God’s grace, we aim to glorify God on this website by providing the best possible insurance-buying advice. Please let us know if we hit or miss that goal.

How Risky Are You? Along with advances in healthcare, insurance companies have changed the way they evaluate risk in applicants. For example, conditions like high blood pressure, acid reflux, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and others used to be considered high risk conditions.
People with chronic or serious health concerns want to provide for their families with insurance just like healthy people do. The problem is this: If you are in poor health you are, statistically speaking, a high risk for an insurance company.
It’s timeless advice, and it applies to buying life insurance: There is no such thing as a free lunch.
You will sometimes find insurance companies—not insurance salespersons or brokers, but the insurance company itself—advertising “No Commission” policies.
In prior years, insurance companies built some flexibility into their non-smoker and smoker categories. The term “smoker” used to denote those persons who smoked cigarettes only. This meant, in some cases, a cigar smoker or tobacco chewer could qualify for a non-smoker rate.
Be sure to contact the Social Security Administration at least every three years. Those contributing to Social Security should check their contributions to insure they are correct. After 3 years the records go off-line and problems need to be researched manually which could take forever.

Anytime you are replacing an existing life insurance contract with another, make sure to check these four points:

You have a difficult decision to make. You can choose the short explanation of re-entry or the long-winded version. If you really want to understand it and have some coffee handy, we suggest the long-winded one.
