Canned Heat: "Let's Work Together"

 This is one band which played at the Woodstock music festival in 1969. Sadly, they didn't have many hits as a result of playing at such a legendary event.

Even so, listen to one of their songs here:

cooperation is the hallmark of Christianity. We see it in action when the Holy Spirit came upon people. Acts 2:44 and 45 (Bible in Basic English) reads, "And all those who were of the faith kept together, and had all things in common; And exchanging their goods and property for money, they made division of it among them all, as they had need."

The basis for this cooperation is in the Command Christ gave his disciples in John 13:34 (BBE). "I give you a new law: Have love one for another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another."

And as Paul wrote in Romans 12:10 (BBE), there's no room for egos and pride. "Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;"

In the next chapter, he tells his readers not to keep score. Romans 13:8 (BBE) says, "Be in debt for nothing, but to have love for one another: for he who has love for his neighbour has kept all the law."

We also must do as Hebrews 10:24 (BBE) says. "And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;"

As we cooperate in the work of spreading the gospel, we need to keep in mind the seriousness of this work. Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 6:1-3 (BBE), "We then, working together with God, make our request to you not to take the grace of God to no purpose. (For he says, 'I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):' Giving no cause for trouble in anything, so that no one may be able to say anything against our work."

Provided that Christ hasn't returned by Monday, I hope to post about the anniversary of the world's worst nuclear power plant disaster.
