Respecting and Honoring Our Elders

We live in a society that has a general disregard for the past and all things old or traditional – including the elderly. But God not only cares about older people, values them, and calls us into a relationship with them, He has instructed us – the younger generation – to turn to them for godly wisdom and advice. He has also instructed them to pass on their faith and testimony to us.We live in a society that has a general disregard for the past and all things old or traditional – including the elderly.
