Modern Day John The Baptist?

I was watching this news footage last night and it got me to thinking about how John the baptist might have looked and sounded to his hearers...

We could do with more!

The candlestick has been removed, the light has gone out and the Truth has been lost!! Well done to the man who stood up in this dark place and briefly held up the light.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God. John 3:19-21
