 Therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. John preached to common folks, but he preached to the religious crowd. He also would stand to preach before royalty, Herod one day. But hear me, his truth never changed. He preached openly, directly, and boldly. By the way, if you've got a man of God in your church that preaches the way John did then, today, you pray for that man.
