The Power of the Older Christian

Dr. Millard B. Box, shown on front cover at almost 98 years young as of this writing, refuses to retire. He still preaches regularly, and he practices what he preaches! What he preaches is a way of life based on the Word of God.

Says Dr. Box: "We have been taught to believe that 70 or 80 is the limit of life, and when most of us draw near that age, our thoughts are filled with dire and dreadful pictures. We make our wills, buy our caskets, make sure we have health insurance or hospitalization, and set all our energies to fight our last enemy, death.

"In the Bible kind of life, there is no retirement, and the older a saint of God becomes, the more important he or she is in matters of the kingdom. They should be sought out for godly wisdom ... If we older ones do not change, then the youth will become like us in the next generation, and God help the world if that happens."
