    Do we have experience in encountering Jesus that led to service?

    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
