Seniors and Sin

By: Mike Mazzalongo     Posted: May, 2014
In Genesis 27 we read the story of how Isaac's attempt to bless Esau (against God's will) was foiled by Rebekah's devious intervention. Isaac's disobedience and Rebekah's scheming demonstrate that even in old age, as they were, it is possible to fall into serious sin.
Discussion Questions
  1. How does the story of Isaac and Rebekah's actions in Genesis 27 illustrate the potential for individuals, even in their old age, to fall into serious sin? How might their actions serve as a cautionary tale for senior saints in today's context? Can you think of any modern parallels where elderly individuals might struggle with disobedience or compromise against God's will?
  2. In what ways can senior saints actively cultivate an attitude of ongoing repentance and self-improvement, despite their age-related challenges?
  3. What strategies can senior saints employ to ensure that their spiritual journey remains focused on faithful obedience to God, rather than being swayed by worldly temptations or personal preferences?
