Retirement Age

Most of us simply assume that we have a right to retire from work and spend the rest of our lives doing whatever we want.

God’s word never encourages us to take an extended holiday towards the end of our lives; retirement is not a Biblical idea. The Bible is, however, very helpful for us as we prepare for our later years.
