There is an eagerness, passion, and a clear sense of purpose that can go with being young, being headstrong, untested, and quick to react is how some older people might describe it. There is a surety with age because of tried and true methods proven over time staid, predictable, and unmovable is how younger people might describe it. These differences can cause tension and conflict, yet both age groups have something to be learned from the other. No matter how mistaken an older Christian may be, they should be treated with respect from a life proven in faith. But older Christians must also be willing to receive correction from a younger one, especially if it is done prayerfully by a young believer who has demonstrated humility, love, and respect toward older people. Most importantly, we must help each other live passionately for Jesus regardless of age! “Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father.” 1 Timothy 5:1.

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven
