This is an interesting comment and brings to mind a recent experience. I have a few tape cassettes of Ron Kangas giving a conference 5 or 6 years ago. I thought…..”you know….I should be fair with this guy and give him a shot” and took the tapes and listened to them in my truck going from job to job. He was deeply impressed with Witness Lee and how perfectly in order his office was.…that all his ties and socks were arranged in order by color. This was transformation to RK. This was the expression of a god man who had been totally transformed.
My thought was….”well….there are probably a lot of people who don’t even believe in Christ who are like this.” My wife is an immaculate record keeper. She has a place for everything. A number of years ago we were audited by the IRS. It was very extensive and lasted several months. They wanted to see absolutely everything. Guess what…..every time they asked for another item my wife knew exactly where it was. The end result……we got a hundred and sixty dollar refund from them after the audit.
Is my wife a completely transformed god-man sister? No. She is a dear sister in the Lord and a godly woman no doubt but this is just here nature. She is like this in everything.
