Frequently Asked Questions

Does God still have a purpose for me in old age?

Absolutely. Psalm 92:14 promises continued fruitfulness. Moses began his greatest work at 80. The psalmist in Psalm 71:18 understood his mission extended to 'shewing God's strength' to the next generation. Age brings wisdom, perspective, and spiritual authority that youth cannot replicate.

What does 'fat and flourishing' mean?

In agricultural terms, a tree that is 'fat and flourishing' is lush, productive, and vibrant — the opposite of dried up or barren. Applied to believers, it means spiritual vitality, continued growth, meaningful contribution, and visible evidence of God's blessing even in advanced years.
