Pilgram Progress

Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13b-14)

年青, 猶如一隻傲翔天空上的小鳥, 隨意往來,隨風而飛; 飛過高山,飛過大海; 飛過天涯,飛過海角; 飛過初春,飛過仲夏; 飛過深秋,飛過寒冬; 飛過年少的無知, 飛過生命的無常; 飛過歲月的崢嶸, 飛過逐夢的蹉跎。 有天, 主要呼召這隻經歷幾許風雨的小鳥,飛到一个不願意去的, 一个比生命更重, 卻比現在更輕更美的地方。 跟從我罷!小鳥垂垂的伸出手來, 再次展翅而飛; 飛過昨日的長恨,飛越今生的無悔,飛到永恆的寄盼。 你愛我比這些更深麼? 耶穌說:“你餵養我的羊。我實實在在的告訴你:你年少的時候、自己束上帶子、隨意往來、但年老的時候、你要伸出手來、別人要把你束上 、帶你到不願意去的地方。”耶穌說這話、是指著彼得要怎樣死,榮耀神。說了這話、就對他說:“你跟從我罷” 。 (约翰福音21:17-19)

Jehovah Witness

Today I have a chance to talk to someone (say person A) who are studying bible with Jehovah Witness. It's a pity, becaue I know that I cannot persuade A to leave and stay away from them. The people there are nice to A, and A can feel the love and affection from them. So even A still didn't believe that God exist, A is still willing to help with JW to do some translation work.

I feel sad, because neither do I, nor the fellowship, nor the church can provide this level of care and affection to A. People doesn't care too much about the doctrinal differences. They are looking at the deeds. Sadly, sometimes Jehovah Witness, or even other 'cults', are more passionate to spread their gospel, and doing a much better follow-up work towards seekers. Some may argue, that they are zealous because they are not sure of their salvation. Yet the true is, many people choose to follow them because of their zeal.

Today again I had received my father call, and accompanying are the pressure to finish my research as soon as possible.

Tomorrow is the welcome party, and accompanying are needs of following up the seekers and the corresponding fellowship work.

God has called us to be a steward in our work. It's true, and I have to concentrate more on work. Sometimes, it is better to be blind to something or to have hard-heart, so that we don't need to be distracted. But perhaps that's the reason why cults like Jehovah Witness florish, as it is they, not the mainstream christian, who are more likely and willing to make commitment to their cause. This is a paradox.
