There are those who ask because they desire to learn the ways of the Kingdom. These are those who truly seek to know what they don’t already know. Their hearts are open to the realities of the Kingdom, and they so wish that their eyes would be open too. To these, do not conceal the heartbeat of the Kingdom to them, for it is ordained that these who seek the Kingdom will gradually find their way to it and eventually find themselves dancing to the rhythm of its life.

There are also those who ask because they desire to ensnare, knowingly or unknowingly. They ask because they know the Kingdom is not for them. So they need to know what it is they’re not living out, for these are the very things they need to discredit in order to justify their choices. To these, the Kingdom must remain a secret. Their eyes are blinded and their hearts are hardened, no matter how “Christian” they think they are.

For these latter types, do not feel that you have a rightful duty to explain the ways of the Kingdom to them, for they’re not there to understand. Do not feel apologetic about allowing the things of the Kingdom to be concealed from them. For as you discern their spirits, you’ll see the waywardness of their inquisitive minds. And if you reveal to them the things of the Kingdom, you’re subjecting the rest of your Kingdom-mates to their mindless ridicule and merciless accusations.

In your desire to help them understand, don't compromise the safety of your fellow pilgrims to the predators. Conceal what needs to be concealed. To them, speak in riddles. Keep them guessing. Because the Kingdom is not something they want. It's not for them.

Be innocent. But be shrewed. Be pure, but not foolish.
