Oh, a prophet in the wilderness who eats bugs and honey and preaches repentance.
O that.
Well.
I often dream of the rising up that could happen. 55% of the American people are against the tax plan. Rise up.
41 Americans live in poverty. 9 million of those get not one cent of cash income.
Rise up.
Health care for children whose parents fall in between poor enough and not rich enough.
Rise up.
Standards of moral and ethical behavior for our elected officials, including not spending tax payer money to settle lawsuits against them.
Rise up.
I don't think we have to eat bugs to be effective. I just think we must rise up.
What, then, will we become?
Luke 1:57-66
57 Now the time came for Elizabeth to give birth, and she bore a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown his great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him Zechariah after his father. 60 But his mother said, “No; he is to be called John.” 61 They said to her, “None of your relatives has this name.” 62 Then they began motioning to his father to find out what name he wanted to give him. 63 He asked for a writing tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” And all of them were amazed. 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue freed, and he began to speak, praising God. 65 Fear came over all their neighbors, and all these things were talked about throughout the entire hill country of Judea. 66 All who heard them pondered them and said, “What then will this child become?” For, indeed, the hand of the Lord was with him.
