Dr. RC Sproul on Retirement
Work is a blessing whereby we are able to mirror and reflect the character of God because God is a working God. God rests, but He never retires.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved.

Christ did not offer his atonement in vain, but ‘he shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied.’ God will yet call every one of his sons and daughters out of Egypt, even as he called his Firstborn; and he will bring his chosen out of the midst of the people whom they are sojourning until the time appointed for their emancipation.

His kingdom cannot fail; He rules o’er earth and heav’n;
The keys of death and hell Are to our Jesus giv’n:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, Rejoice! »Rejoice, the Lord Is King (Trinity Hymnal 310)

Let us learn a lesson from the two travelers to Emmaus. Let us speak of Jesus, when we are sitting in our houses and when we are walking by the way, whenever we can find a disciple to speak to. (Deut. 6:7.) If we believe we are journeying to a heaven where Christ will be the central object of every mind, let us begin to learn the manners of heaven, while we are yet upon earth. So doing we shall often have One with us whom our eyes will not see, but One who will make our hearts “burn within us” by blessing the conversation.

Be diligent in action. Put all your irons into the fire. Use every faculty for Jesus. Be wide-awake to watch opportunities, and quick to seize upon them.

False Teachers (2 Timothy 4)
Robert Bruce’s 16th Century preaching in Scotland allowed the people to note a contrast between one who preaches with authority and the others who preach for the smiles of the congregation. Robert Murray McCheyne cautioned people to follow the word of God rather than those professing to be God’s ministers: “A minister will make a poor saviour in the day of wrath…. You need to have your hand on the head of the Lamb for yourselves. You need to have your eye on the brazen serpent for yourselves.”
