John the Baptist knew what he was called to do. He was a voice in the wildnerness, called to prepare the way for the Lord. He firmly stated that he was not the Messiah.
Our society is a wilderness with many conflicting ideas and false hopes.
Our congregations must grow together as inclusive groups using ideas and talents from each other to talk about
- society;
- our strengths and wseaknesses;
- what changes need to made in our local congregations.
And then we must do it, do things together, meeting after talking about where the Holy Spirit seems to be leading us. Realizing we are NOT messiahs individually, we must learn from others and walk with others. Then Jesus' work goes forward.
