RETIREMENT?
Retirement is a great job with some drawbacks:
1. There are no opportunities for
advancement.
2. No one is available to promote you.
3. You need a raise but cannot find
anyone to ask.
4. No one seems to be in charge.
5. You think about quitting, but can’t find where to resign.
6. No one is on duty to write your final check.
7. You would like to hate your boss but you can’t find him.
8. You don’t know what your hours are, and you can’t claim overtime.
9. With no schedule or deadlines, you can’t get an evaluation.
10. In summary, retirement is a disorganized mess.
adapted
Henry Milligan
P.S.
Interestingly, the Bible doesn’t mention “retirement”. Jesus met many people during
his ministry, but no matter what their age or their station in life, he expected them to
start working for his Kingdom from that moment forward.
Jesus warned us, “We must work the works of Him who sent me, as long as it is day,
for the night is coming when no man can work” (John 9:4). So we can all look
forward to retiring from our day job, but not from serving God as long as we live.
RKO
Confronting a Dismissive Culture
Today, we welcome Dr. Philip Thompson to
Waterview to discuss Can Thinking People Believe?
Dr. Thompson, who teaches Bible at Harding
University and faces the issue of Christianity’s validity
daily, will present four lessons to help us bolster our
faith and have answers for critics of faith.
 Morning Bible Class
 Morning Worship
 Evening Class
 Evening Worship
Can a Thinking Person Believe in a God Who Created the
World?
Can a Christian Be a Thinking Person?
Can a Thinking Person Believe in Jesus Who Rose from the
Dead?
Can a Thinking Person Believe in a God Who Allows
Suffering?
Join us for all of these sessions. If you have friends who struggle with faith, call them and
invite them to come with you tonight.
Great Commission Sunday 3 Weeks Away
Our first Great Commission Sunday is 3 weeks

works, and help Waterview move forward in the
area of our missions.
So far, we have met Kirk Israel from Vermont and
heard from Russell DiGiorgio in Media,
Pennsylvania. This morning, a familiar face (David
Friesen) will give a video update during the warmup.
