When is the appropriate time to “retire” from the work the Lord has called us to? On the one hand, we must consider that our “secular” career may very well be God’s calling and we should be doing that “secular” work as unto God and not man. We may wisely choose a time to “retire” from that career; but our work on behalf of God’s kingdom, in my opinion, ends on the date printed on our death certificate.

“So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I proclaim your might to another generation,
Your power to all those to com.”
Psalm 17:18 ESV__________________________________________________________
