John Piper and Jason Meyer
In the following interview John Piper and Jason Meyer talk about the transition in pastoral leadership at Bethlehem Baptist Church. This is worth watching.
One of the reasons why my wife and I went to the Philippines in 2002 is because I heard John Piper speak about retirement and that it was not a New Testament concept. He has stepped aside from preaching so that he can spend his time writing. He has not retired but switched jobs (so to speak, pastoring is not a job). Sometimes you can only stay with a church so long and then you need to allow another person take it to the next stage.

My only question is why is he leaving? He is still young and who says we have the right to retire?
