Alexander the Great

R. C. Sproul tells the following story:

There is a story told of the young man who was so eager to go fight in the great battle. He was underage and had to sneak away from home to join the troops. But he was successful and joined the army. As the battle began the young man was overcome with fear. He had never expected war to be like this. And so he ran away. His commanding officer sent soldiers to find him and bring him back. When the young man returned, he was taken to the King. The king demanded to know his name. But the young man only mumbled a response. The King grew angrier and said: Young man, what is your name!? The young man then said: Alexander, your Highness. With that King Alexander (Alexander the Great) shouted at the frightened young man: Alexander? Young man, either change your name or change your behavior!

Do we bear the name "Christian"? Do we soldier on in the name of Christ? If not, then, change your name or change your behavior!
