“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Romans 12:5 KJV
In 1972, Al Green, an R&B singer and now preacher, recorded a number #1 hit titled “Let’s Stay Together”. The song quickly became an encouraging anthem for relationships that were struggling to “stick it out” through times of difficulty.
I think we are living in times when we, as the body of Christ, need to “stick it out” more than ever before. We are about to embark upon a great building (parking lot) and renovation (facelift of Education Building) project. We need all hands on deck. God has been too good to us to grow weary and throw in the proverbial towel. He has brought us from a mighty long way so why give up now?
