I am reading through the book of Luke right now and came across some things regarding John the Baptist:
1. if you look at chapter 3 it lists all the important people of the time and their titles.... and then the text says...." the word of the Lord came to John... in the wilderness..."
2. When the listeners asked John, " how do we bear fruit in keeping with repentance ? " this is how he responded:
1. share your stuff
2. don't be greedy
3. don't lie
4. be content with your wages
So, the next time you are wondering what God's will is for your life, you can find it in Luke 3.
