I received an e-mail from a friend telling me that the Pastor Emeritus of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Rev. Milton Frazier and his wife Pat, are on a cruise and took time to minister to others on the ship. Evidently, they had no chaplain on board, so Milton preached and Pat played the piano as they conducted a Sunday morning service for approximately 100 people. Not bad for 84 years old.
I often hear people talking about the good old days and what they used to do for God. Now that they are older, they feel that someone else should take the reins and let them retire from God. Just curious... how old do you have to be in order to stop serving Jesus? I know it's older than Pastor Frazier at 84. That should encourage us to take every opportunity God allows for us to share our faith. Regardless how old you get -- don't quit!
