Choking and spitting water, the land-lover came to the

surface again and in desperation said, "Do something. I'm drowning!"

At that the water-lover sat back in the boat, looked at the

land-lover, and said, "If I'm going to help you, you are going to have

to stick together!"

This illustrates what is happening in much of the Church. In

our fractured state we struggle and cry out, "Lord, help us, save us!"

Jesus looks over and says, "If I'm going to help you, you're

going to have to stick together!" He prayed in John 17:21, "that all

of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.

May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that

You have sent me."

This Sunday evening at 6 p.m. the Church in Fayette

County will have an opportunity to stick together as we join in a

Unity Service at Starrs Mill High School. Ron Kenoly will be

the worship leader, Jesus will be the object of our worship,

and Biblical unity will be demonstrated to Fayette County. Be

there Sunday as we "stick together, and the Lord helps us."

Chuck Griffith is pastor of Fayette Assembly of God,

1144 Ga. Highway 92 South in Fayetteville, 770-719-0322.
