In God’s game plan, old age is not a red card. Noah was over 500 years old when God called him
to the physically and intellectually demanding task of building the Ark.
Do not neglect neither that aged nor that young relative. 1 Timothy 5:8 says, “If anyone does
not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and
is worse than an unbeliever.”
We are used to the conclusion that the older people are being neglected abandoned, ‘orphaned’ by their children. But when you take another look you may begin to wonder, who is the victim here?--the old, the young, or both? And if so who should take the corrective initiative?

With the growing numbers of older people, it is critical to look for ways and means to maintain and improve the functional ability of this cohort.
Please urgently reach out to the aged with the gospel: they neither come to church nor to crusades. If it is urgent for anybody to hear the gospel, it certainly is for the elderly.
#IamNoah As humans we have two God-given capacities - one to receive love and the other to to give love. It is inhumane to lose either one and insane to lose both.
