I had a great time recently discussing how the Apostle Paul uses OT Scripture to establish Christian doctrine. You can watch it here:
SCS Press | Judeo-Christian Thought Colloquium 1 – Brent Belford, Paul’s Fusion of Scripture
Concerning the commitment of Charles Simeon from Trinity Church:
“Up till then he had promised himself a very active life up to age sixty, and then a Sabbath evening. Now he seemed to hear his Master saying:
‘I laid you aside, because you entertained with satisfaction the thought of resting from your labour; but that now you have arrived at the very period when you had promised yourself that satisfaction, and have determined instead to spend your strength for me to the latest hour of your life, I have doubled, trebled, quadrupled your strength, that you may execute your desire on a more extended plan.’
So at sixty years of age, Simeon renewed his commitment to his pulpit and the mission of the church and preached vigorously for 17 more years, until two months before his death.”
-Piper, “Brothers, We must not Mind a Little Suffering”
