I went to see my mechanic yesterday. His name is Alex and he is from Serbia. He is also a passionate Eastern Orthodox christian, ready to drop the spanner and take up the sword at a moment's notice.
He was lamenting the absence of passion in most Christian's faith and asked the question "Whatever happened to St George of England? He was ready to go to war for the faith wasn't he?"
I spontaneously obliged him with a rendition of "Land of Hope and Glory" which astonished his customers and mechanics. Alex responded with a shout "That's it! It was God who put the 'Great' in Great Britain and if the nation doesn't go back to St George it will disappear into the third world."
Well, Alex, I agree. And what is true for Britain is true for every other nation that forsakes it's faith in Christ.
A verse in the hymn "Non Nobis Domine" reads "For in His judgement lies to crown or bring to nought. Non Nobis Domine not unto us the praise."
LET'S GET BACK TO THE FAITH OF ST.GEORGE.
Ian
