Is there a creator?

Respect the Old!

Leviticus chapter 19 verse 32:-   32 “‘Before gray hair you should rise up, and you must show honor to an older man, and you must be in fear of your God. I am Jehovah.

Respect for others should be earned, that statement is true! But honour in acknowledgement of an older person is a right that should be given freely because of their years of accumulated knowledge and wisdom acquired during their life! You can learn a Great deal from an older person about the world you live in and also be reminded that you do not know everything!

For a true Christian, to fully understand the Bible is a life long occupation, and there will always be scriptures that we do not fully appreciate, and events mentioned that we need some help from an older wiser person to explain, this is where we need to learn wisdom, and never be to proud to ask for clarification, the only way to gain true understanding of any subject matter is to learn from others who know more than you do. That is why Jehovah's Holy Spirit is vital for our knowledge of the Bible to grow!

The Blind and Deaf?

Matthew chapter 15 verse 14:-   14 Let them be. Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

There are many so called wise and intellectual people in this world, but sadly they know nothing about what the Bible teaches! Part of the reason for this blindness is that they do NOT want to know! This blindness will eventually destroy them forever, because most of these people would rather believe in the rubbish taught by evolutionists who never provide proof because they do not have any. Also please remember that evolution is a theory not a established fact, it is founded on the idea of "this is what I believe happened" with no provable scientific evidence to support it at all!

Other people no matter how old they may be, are deaf to the truth for similar reasons, they appear to listen and even agree with what you tell them, but they do not respond with actions. You cannot reach their hearts, no matter what you say to them, you cannot make any real spiritual progress with them, they go on their way and immediately forget everything you said to them!

Grey headed Children?

Matthew chapter 11 verses 25 and 26:-   25 At that time Jesus said in response: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children. 26 Yes, O Father, because this is the way you approved.

Young children who practise the true Christian faith contained in the Bible know more about the true God and his ways then ALL so called older Christians who follow the traditions of the Chapels and Churches of the world! Wisdom dose not always belong to the aged, true wisdom comes from an appreciation of knowledge gained from God's word the Bible, so even relatively young people can act with insight and understanding of what is right and what is wrong in Jehovah's eyes!

In the eyes of the true God we are all children no matter what our physical age may be! Never underestimate the wisdom and understanding of another person based on their age, because you can often be surprised by what they know? A wise person respects older people because their age may have brought them wisdom on certain matters, but we should always be willing to learn even from younger ones who may also provide understanding on a subject!

Wisdom of the Young!

Job chapter 32 verse 9:-   9 Age alone does not make one wise, Nor is it only old men who understand what is right.

When it comes down to spiritual understanding, always be prepared to learn no matter what the source, but check the information gained by study of the Bible, not just the word of an old man or someone younger! But remember, your knowledge should where possible always be shared with others who are willing to listen, so never neglect your obligation to teach, seek out those who want to learn the truth from the Bible!

Wisdom and knowledge that is not shared is nothing! Don't allow your tongue to stick to the roof of your mouth, spread the truth in every way you can, never give up in doing what is right, even in old age it is still possible to preach to others! Jehovah will provide the spirit, so use it in an effort to save lives before the end of this system of things arrives! Jehovah blesses effort, the rewards are more that enough to make it worthwhile!

Ancient of Days!

Psalm 119 verses 99 and 100:-   99 I have more insight than all my teachers, Because I ponder over your reminders. 100 I act with more understanding than older men, Because I observe your orders.

Conclusion:   Old or young, male or female, our purpose in this system of things is clearly before us, so never give up in doing what is right in God's eyes. people will live or die depending on how they react to what we preach, so we need to always do our best to reach the hearts of ones we talk to on our ministry. If their hearts are right, then Jehovah will open them to the truth of what we tell them, and eventually some will respond and join us in serving the true God. For those who do not respond, old or young, there is no future!

Spread the Word!
