An encounter in season

Yesterday I spent almost a day at Dingrong's place with Mingfu and Sandra making Christmas gifts for ushers in our section... And as the four of us sat in the living room for less than an hour, a lady came knocking on the door wanting to have a "chat" with us and I saw the Bible in her hands. I sat facing the door so naturally, she started a conversation with me... Let's call her 'L'.

L: Hi, would it be fine if I ask you a question?
J: Yes? (*frown*)
L: Just as I was talking to your neighbor (she meant Dingrong's) about it, have you ever thought about when will peace be on earth?
J: When Jesus comes back! (I answered without thinking; trying to go back to what I was doing and look busy but failed...)
L: Right, so have you ever thought about what the Bible refers to as the "kingdom"? (Quite a duh question, don't you think?)
J: Well, Jesus is the King, is He? And thus, a King should have a kingdom yuh? (I'm beginning to doubt the legitimacy of her visit...)
L: Yuh, but what and where exactly is this kingdom? In Daniel chapter xx... (I didn't catch that and didn't see a need to.)

We were all raising our eyebrows and thinking to ourselves the motive of this lady, while I try to remain friendly while answering her questions...

J: Actually if you intend to spread the Gospel, we are all Christians here... we're from City Harvest Church (I smiled and hoped she would take her leave, but she did not..) And if you are really interested to find out more, perhaps you may like to go for Bible Study classes 'cos there's really no way these questions can be simply answered in a one-liner or two.
L: Oh, we do receive spiritual food... May I come in and have a chat?
J: Actually we are in the midst of something right now and I would prefer not.. By the way, which church do you attend?
L: We don't come from any denomination... (Notice it's "we"..)
J: Then where do you get your spiritual food, may I ask? (Still trying to maintain a friendly countenance to get the answers to my questions!)
L: We are Jehovah's Witnesses... (All of our lightbulbs lit up!)
J: Right, I see.. Thank you for your time. (And I guess she had no choice but to walk away! Finally!)

Just as we learned about Antinomianism from Pastor Kong and Dr. Robb Thompson, we saw heretics at work right at our doorstep, in our neighborhood and in this decadent, perishing world. As I think about it, I wonder what would happen if we are not rooted in the Word of God? A door could have possibly be opened if we thought nothing about it and allowed her to entertain, influence and sow an undesirable seed in us. Thank God for the experience and using it to further illustrate the importance of knowing His Word and having the right biblical teachings.

"This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ." -- 1 Cor 2:13-16
