Leviticus 19:32
Excerpted from: What's Happening to Deference?

Moses was commanded to remove his shoes at the burning bush incident out of deference to the holy dirt he was standing on. The dirt was holy only because God was also standing on the same area. What is interesting to me is that God demanded the deference. It is a reality in this world that all things are not equal. Moses had to learn his place before he was used in the job. It is a humbling thing for some to learn in a nation such as this that all things are not only not equal, some things in life cannot be made equal. Many people and customs must be deferred to, even at our God's, our Creator's, command:

That's right in the book. The rising up is deference given to a person who is simply older. That's a very clear command from our Creator that age is to be respected and deferred to. Incidentally, this appears in the book that is more concerned with specific holy acts than any other book in the Bible. That's Leviticus.

Leviticus 19:32
Excerpted from: Civility and Courtesy

Did you notice what He did here? He links respecting the elderly with fearing God. That is how serious it is. If we do not fear the elderly among us, what sort of respect and fear are we going to have before God the Father and before His Son Jesus Christ?

Leviticus 19:32
Excerpted from: The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part 18)

"Oh, we do not have to do this now. We do not have to respect somebody who is elderly—because it is part of the old law of Moses that is done away." That is not true, brethren. I am speaking sarcastically. We still have to obey that.
