'Would We Accept This Man Today?'
Matthew 3:4.
a) His clothes were made of camel's hair.
b) He wore a leather belt around his waist.
c) His food was locusts and wild honey.
d) His name was John the Baptist.
(This QT makes me question: Would We Accept This Man Today?)

'They Needed It To Be Written Down.'
Exodus 24:3-4.
a) Moses told the people all the Words of the Lord and all the Rules.
b) All the people answered with one voice.
c) They said that they would do all the Words that the Lord had spoken.
d) Moses wrote down all the Words of the Lord.
e) Moses then rose early and built an altar.
f) It was at the foot of the mountain where He had received the Word of the Lord.
g) There were twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
(This Second reminds me that They Needed It To Be Written Down)

Would we accept John Baptist in the Churches today? The mere fact that he wore unusual clothes would make him suspect in many Churches! When we make plans for evangelism and sharing the Gospel Message, (in whatever part of the World where we may live), are we willing to accept "unusual" and culturally "different" people into the Church?
