INTRODUCTION: A. You Know You’re Getting Old When…
1. You and your teeth don’t sleep together.
2. Your try to straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren’t
wearing any.
3. At the breakfast table you hear snap, crackle, pop and you’re not eating cereal.
4. Your back goes out, but you stay home.
5. Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio.
6. Happy hour is a nap.
7. You’re on vacation and your ENERGY runs out before your money does.
8. You step off a curb and look down one more time to make sure the street is still
there.
9. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired.
10. The pharmacist has become your new best friend.
11. Getting “lucky” means you found your car in the parking lot.
12. It takes twice as long - to look half as good.
13. Everything hurts, and what doesn’t hurt - doesn’t work.
14. You sink your teeth into a steak - and they stay there.
15. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don’t even remember being
on top of it.
B. This message is the fourth installment in the series “Fatal Temptations” based on
James 1:14-15 – “Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged
away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when
it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”
1. We looked at “Temptations Women Face”, “Temptations Children Face”, and
“Temptations Teenagers Face”
2. Today’s message: “Temptations Senior Citizens Face”
a. As the average life-span continues to increase, and as baby-boomers are hitting
retirement age, we’re seeing more and more senior adults
b. By the year 2025, people over the age of 65 will outnumber teenagers two to one
3. My kids think I’m finally preaching a sermon I’m qualified to speak about
--I couldn’t possibly know anything about being a woman, a child, or a teenager!
