What a Man Can Learn When He Turns 30

I don't know why it has taken me 30 years to see this. No, I do know why, it's because I'm stubborn.Several weeks into my thirties I feel like I'm just beginning to realize that I'm more sinful and confused than I ever dared believe, but in Jesus I'm even more loved  and cared for than I ever dared hope.Lately the gospel that I preach to other people has been affecting my own heart more profoundly than ever before. This is bringing uncomfortable, disruptive, surprising, needed, slow, and very happy change.The self-righteous Pharisee in me that I didn't even know was there (but everybody else probably did) is being slowly shattered.God is good.A 30 year-old dog can learn new tricks.
