The old time religion

It was good to share an 'old time Army' meeting with a fine company of retired Salvation Army officers. Of course, there was some looking to the past but there was also a keen awareness of the challenges of the present and the future. The chosen text was, 'Raise a banner for the nations' (Isaiah 62.10) and account was taken of the trinitarian significance of the Salvation Army flag in which the blue border symbolises the character of God the Father, the red ground the sacrifice of God the Son and the yellow star the empowering of God the Holy Spirit.
