The Bible and OLD AGE #18 … CHURCH IS BORING …  Sometimes, older people think of church as boring because we view worship like attendance at a concert or sports event. If I’m bored at concerts or games, I stop going because I’m bored. Worship should be the opposite. It’s not for my entertainment. I’m the one on stage or on the field and God is watching. I need to do my best to sing, pray, and listen to please God and not me.

What is meant by ‘Now is the Son of Man GLORIFIED?’ John 13:31-32

Once Judas has left the upper room, Jesus begins to prepare the eleven for the terrible crucifixion on the morrow. He describes Himself as the sacrifice and Savior of the world and the cross as a glorification of both Himself and God the Father—see also 1 John 4:14. The Father will also be glorified by Jesus’ resurrection from the tomb.

Ephesians 5:25-33

“HUSBANDS love your wives as Christ loved the church.” Eph 5:25-33

This means love sacrificially because Jesus gave Himself as a sacrifice. This means love purposefully because Jesus died for a purpose…to save the church, v. 26-27. This means love her as yourself, v. 33.

Am I loving my wife scripturally? Do I sacrifice for her? Do I purposefully do things for her? Do I do for her as I do for myself?

The Bible and OLD AGE #17 … IS CHRISTIANITY WORTH IT? … Older people see the failures, disappointments, mistakes of life, and the feebleness of old age and wonder if religion is worth it. The problem is our scope is limited to this life. It’s a mistake to equate heaven with our life on earth. Heaven will be like living in a mansion, John 14:1-3, without the fear of death, Revelation 21:1-4. Get ready. It’s worth it!
