MAYBOLE BAPTIST CHURCH

Rev Richard MARTIN - Minister

What do you do When you RETIRE?

As you approach 65 people start asking when you will retire. 

Of course sometimes, one person's death or retirement

is another's only hope of promotion.

 

Speaking of retirement to a friend, he told me:

Billy Graham says, Preachers die in the pulpit

 

Some people are afraid of retirement.

A college offered staff retirement at 50 and most took it.

But one man kept refusing. Asked why, he replied:

I wouldn't know what to do!

Well, would you?

 

The Apostle Paul tells the Corinthians (15.58)

Always give yourselves to the work of the Lord

because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain

Elsewhere he writes:

Always keep on praying for the saints & Rejoice in the Lord Always

Paul's several uses of always afford lifetime opportunities

- for the Christian believe

So, what About Your Retirement ?
