and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil. (1 Timothy 3:6)
It is sad that the apostle must make this statement. There is much to be said of age. How many young folks have been pushed too quickly into ministry only to be burned out or to fall into sin. Not that age is some magic totem that wards off evil, but wisdom does come from age.
