Titus 2:6-8, Joshua 13:1, Joshua 23:1-3; 6
In these verses, we are reminded that no matter how old we are, we still have responsibilities in the Lord’s work. Paul gives Titus instructions about how to be an example in one’s teaching, speech, etc. In Joshua, we find that, despite the fact Joshua was old, the Lord still had concrete things for him to accomplish regarding the land of Canaan. Joshua ends with words of hope and words of warning – remain faithful or the Lord will reject them. Joshua died with integrity – he had been an example of one who was faithful to God and he knew he had had a purpose for his life.
With this in mind, consider the following questions.
- How one can “show integrity, seriousness, and soundness of speech” as one ages?
- What are some specific things that the elderly can still do to not only live out their faith, but also to show the next generation what their faith means to them?
