Disrespect is Common in these Last Days

Disrespect can be as simple as a young woman or man treating an older woman like a child. We are not stupid, we have lived long and know much, treat us with the respect that is due us for our many years. To dishonor the older women is the same as dishonoring God.

This instruction does not just pertain to bio mothers but all younger women toward the older women.

Proverbs 1:7-9 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and do not forsake your mother's teaching; indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head, and ornaments about your neck."

Paul says in 2 Timothy 1:5,
"I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well."

Then in 3:14–15 Paul says,
"You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them [that is, your mother Eunice and through her from your grandmother Lois]; and that from childhood you have known the holy scriptures [because your mother taught them to you] which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus."
