     | 23,286 views

    A short reflection I used for an active Christian lady who passed at the age of 90 years.

    One of the major themes in the book of Ecclesiastes, and certainly a theme that is reflected in our passage this afternoon, is that everything in this life, including life itself, is temporary. The author wrote that, “For everything there is a season. A time to be born and a time to die.” Words ...read more

    There is no retirement in the Christian life. Your calling is active and valuable to the King until your last breath.

    If you are still breathing there is time to do great things for God. Not necessary notable things. You may not get applause from your church, your name in the paper or the key to your city, but you can do great things. God's valuation is far different than man's. Matthew 10:42 And ...read more
