I don't believe in retirement for the sake of cruises and spending all the money that one has accumulated over your life just to have fun. I want to leave an inheritance for my children.
I also intend to be fully busy throughout my years and look forward to a day when I can devote more energies to the local Church. I love serving the Body of Christ and can never imagine a day when I would "retire" from that. | I share the same views; however, what about those who are retired ministers? They do not have a secular employment to retire from yet they are considered retired. |
Same thing for the paid minister. Yet the minister does not retire from being an elder. He merely may retire from serving as one who makes his wage from sermon preparation, etc.
