Reflections on 80 Years

Our dear brother and "pastor's pastor", Henry Mahan, reflects on what the Lord has taught him through 80 plus years. After over 50 years of loving labor in the ministry, he and Doris are moving from Ashland, Kentucky to Rocky Mount, Virgina where their son Paul has been pastor since 1989. This could very well be the last time he preaches in Ashland and the Sovereign Lord blessed us once more as Henry pointed us away from ourselves and toward Jesus Christ our Savior.

Here are the reflections the Lord has given Henry through over 80 years:

1. Life is short, but a vapor.
2. Salvation is of the Lord.
3. Christ is all.
4. The Lord will provide.
5. Believers will come willingly to their grave in a full age, not too early, not too late, but in the Lord's season and it is good (Job 5:26-27).
