Wear out, don't rust out
I have been blessed to have some great pastors, including those who mentored me early in my ministry years. An important lesson I learned in those days was that we need to finish well. One of my mentors will turn 81 years of age in a few weeks and he is still going strong in ministry. When in mentored me back in the 1970’s, he told me he was determined to “wear out but not rust out” while serving the Lord. He was determined to serve Him to the end.
To the men out there – take a look at the Apostle Paul’s message to older men in Titus 2:2. He instructed them to have endurance. He was telling them “finish well.” Let’s keep on track. Don't let the rust start, and mentor those younger than us so that they may do the same!
