"There is only one answer to the question of personal and national purpose, and it sounds impossible to the majority in our country, it is to glorify God. What else can be said?"
That while it is unrealistic to expect the "nation" as such to glorify God, not for the next 426,878 years anyway, Australia still serves an important purpose:

We must be thankful to God for without Australia being how it is, dictatorships like China would have taken over and our freedom to glorify God would be quashed. Let others do it for the football or the beer, let them sing in ignorance "we share a dream", let them even preserve us for the sake of hedonism and mammon if that makes them temporarily happy, but for this great privilege of living here, let us give thanks to the Lord for He is Good, His grace endures forever.
