Your Question:
What happens when I'm no longer able to work?
Answer:
The thought of no longer being able to work is a sobering one. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the idea of retirement or being unable to contribute to their families financially. But as I reflect on the apostle's teaching, I'm reminded that our identity and purpose are not solely tied to our work. We are ambassadors of Christ, called to serve and represent Him in all aspects of life. When I'm no longer able to work, I hope to continue serving the Lord in other ways. As a pastor, I've had the privilege of watching my congregation grow and thrive, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue serving them in some capacity, even if it's not in a traditional pastoral role. My wife Susan and I have also been blessed to have a loving family, and I'm confident that Joshua and Rebecca will continue to grow in their faith and serve the Lord in their own ways. Ultimately, our security and provision come from God, not from our work or our own abilities. As I've grown older, I've come to realize that my worth and identity are not tied to my job or my productivity, but to my relationship with Christ. When I'm no longer able to work, I trust that God will provide for me and my family, and that I'll continue to serve Him in the ways that He calls me to serve.
