Consider how God wants us to regard the elderly. We must honor them by showing them respect (Leviticus 19:32). This is a commandment not an option. Failing to respect the elderly is failing to respect God; it forbears the divine, not the culture nor the tradition. So remember it and teach it to your children. We must also support them - financial and material assistance offered according to practical, Biblical guidelines (1 Timothy 5:1-6). Failing to do so means we have '...denied the faith'(v8). Supporting them also requires that we regularly talk to God about them and their needs. Have you been supporting the aged and including them as a vital part of your family?
