Today’s Society Regarding our Elderly• ‘Out of touch’; In the way; Slow, feeble, etc.• The result is a bona fide “Generation Gap”• The Bible, however, reminds us of an

Scriptures To Ponder• Leviticus 19:32 - You shall rise up before the
gray-headed and honor the aged, and you shall revere your God…
• Proverbs 20:29 - The glory of young men is their strength, And the honor of old men is their gray hair.

Scriptures To Ponder• Proverbs 23:22 - Listen to your father who
begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.
• 1 Timothy 5:1–3 Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father… the older women as mothers. Honor widows who are widows indeed.

Scriptures To Ponder• Proverbs 6:20–23 - My son, observe the
commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother; Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck. When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life.

Scriptures To Ponder• Ephesians 6:1–3 - Children, obey your parents
in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.

Points To Ponder• To our elderly brothers/sisters in Christ:– You have much to give… namely wisdom,
instruction, and encouragement. Cp. Tit. 2:1-3ff– “Sitting back” and letting “the younger” do the
work will only perpetuate “the generation gap.”

Points To Ponder• The rest of us younger Christians:– Need to realize our older brethren have MUCH to
contribute.– We simply need to take advantage of years of
experience God has blessed them to impart.

Points To Practice• To our young: – Go up and start conversations and let our older
brethren know just how much they are appreciated in God’s work.
– Initiate ways to encourage and honor our elderly brethren.

Points To Practice• To our “Middle-Aged”: – Teach our young how to honor, respect, and bless
our older brethren.– Provide opportunities and means to foster honor,
respect, and blessings to our elderly brethren.
