Question to Ron Blue: What are your personal plans for retirement?
Answer: I prefer to call it “rehirement” rather than retirement. I have no plans to retire. Vocationally, I may do different things and try different options, but I do not see myself retiring from my purpose in life. My purpose is to help fulfill the Great Commission. I don’t retire from that. I just may help fulfill it in different ways.
Question to Larry Burkett: What are your personal plans for retirement?
Answer: I don’t plan to retire. I want to write or teach or speak for as long as I can. We all have relatively short time on this earth and a long time in eternity. My retirement will come in eternity; I trust yours will too. Foremost in your retirement planning, then, should be the prospect of standing before the Lord and giving an account for the way you have handled your life and your money.
