Summary: 66 Books takes listeners through an overview of each book of the Bible in just 66 Weeks and also unpacks a whole lot more! This is our Sunday Sermon and today, in Britain, on this Remembrance Day Sunday, V.R. is preaching on "Old Fashioned Freedom -The Only Kind of Freedom Worth Dying For." That which we call freedom today, that licentiousness we so enjoy today, some would say isn't even worth living for never mind dying for. So what kind of freedom and peace is worth fighting for and dying for? In honouring those killed in battle, V.R. answers three questions about war: 1) Why do we fight? 2) Is it right for the Christian to fight? 3) What should we be fighting for - both now and in the future? This sermon is a manifesto for Revolution, highlighting seven things to fight for and giving a final rallying call for the practised preservation of the nest! Here V.R. says the church needs to shut up, suit up and grow up and calls the church to stop 'messing around!' This is a stirring message to the remnant of younger people which we have left in our countries, to stop being wimps and get on with the fight. Meanwhile - as you read the following words, please take a moment to remember those you have love and lost in war and may God comfort your hearts. In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. -- In Flanders Fields, by Lieut. Col. John McCrae, (1872-1918).
