First coined by the philosopher Aristotle, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. This phrase is aptly defined the modern concept of Synergy. Definition: “the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects.” What does this mean to us brethren? “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor” (Eccl. 4:9). Better because together we can produce much more for the kingdom working together than separately. What great things the Lord’s church can accomplish as a family, working together in His kingdom.
