A Biblical Perspective on Aging F Wayne Mac Leod

Not many of us want to admit that we are old. Old age brings with it a unique set of challenges. As we find ourselves slowing down and pulling out of activities we once enjoyed, we can find ourselves becoming discouraged and humbled. What does the Bible say about aging? What are the promises of God to those who find themselves in this phase of life? What are our God-given responsibilities toward the aged in our society? Does old-age mean that we are no longer useful in our society and church? The Bible speaks openly about this subject and challenges us not only to respect the wisdom and experience gained with many years, but also to honour those among us who have reached this time in their lives.
