‘Britain’s Brave Move’

Posted

“He must increase; I must decrease.” 

So said John the Baptist as quoted by John the Evangelist, Chapter 3 verse 30.

Perhaps there is some symbolism that the “decrease” of membership in the European Union began this past Friday: the feast of John the Baptist. The elitism and open borders in the name of economic and political expediency has done nothing but create self-serving agendas.

Britain’s brave move to remove itself from a bloated bureaucracy in Brussels should be commended and we should pray for the future of their solo dealings with world affairs.

May the actions of their citizens increase their international respect and inspire other nations.
