Age and Accomplishments?

3
  • Martin Luther was 34 when he nailed his 95 Theses to the door.
  • David Brainerd was 29 when he died, leaving a missionary legacy reaching us in our day.
  • Jonathan Edwards was 38 when he preached 'Sinners in the hands of an angry God'.
  • John Calvin was 25 when his institutes were first published.
  • William Tyndale was 35 when he completed translating the New Testament into English.
  • John Wesley was 36 when he formed the Methodist Society.


In our day, the average age of a male video gamer is 36 . . .

. . . And we wonder why we're not seeing revival, reformation or awakening?
