Hey
I'm on my way to AMK polyclinic. Apparently, arose abruptly with a major major haul of diarhoea. So, i did'nt go to school, as the crammy was still there. On my way out to my destination, there was this older lady in red shirt who gave me a "hong bao". i was wondering in my heart what had spurred her on to give me the red packet. To my surprise, as i held onto the little red packet, i realised that it was a christian tract. I then resumed oto return her the tract, and told her i was christian. So she asked me what church i was from. When i told her that i was from my church, she began to wonder what church it was. TO elighten her, i told her that we were a brach of city harvest. Then, she confidently shove the tract back into my hands and told me to read their online sites, as it had some truth in there. I was quite puzzled as to how come and why would she actually say such stuff. I then went on to ask her what denomination she was from, she told me it was a different denomination, so i probe further by asking the question again. She then told me it was "presbytarian" (if that was the correct spelling). So i nodded my head, and said okay, and thank you.
In my heart i was thinking to myself, are'nt we worshipping the same God? are'nt we preaching about the same "Jesus Christ"? Even though she told me that she had nothing against City harvest, my inhibition thought was this: Then why insist that i check out your church's website? And why state that there is some truth in it??? Isn't God the God of ALL TRUTH? why say some truth? I was deemed on challenging her to tell me all about it, but i decided that i'd not do that, something in my heart tugged me not to do so. Therefore I did'nt. But what i honestly felt was that it was weird for her to hesitate telling me more about her church. I almost suspected that she belonged to a cult.
And the most curious of all things was that, rather than giving me that gospel pamphlet, why not keep it for the person who needs to know about God even more? Is this an indication that you want me to convert from charasmatic to a presbytarian? It does'nt make much of a sense, since we're all already populating heaven and so many more have yet to join us, but why poach from church to church?
I personally feel that i would rather run, and seek to win more souls than to persuade people who are already christians to become christians in my church. Wrong motivation, wrong move.
back to the books,
