My favorite verse in Galatians is 5:22. Any time there is trouble in the church - I wonder about the fruit of the Spirit. If it is anything else other than what I read in Gal. 5:22, I wonder about who is stirring things up (and I am pretty sure it is not the HOLY Spirit!). The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, AND self control. When you are experiencing jealousy, anger, dissensions, and factions - it might be a good idea to check your spirit. It may have been "hornswaggled" by the spirit of the flesh and desire to control.
I also like verse 6:6 - "Those who are taught the word must share in all good things with their teacher." You all teach me things every time I make an attempt to teach you! So I think this verse means, "Share and share alike."
I changed the background since it is the 4th of July. Orange swirls just didn't seem appropriate for the occasion and I could not find a holiday theme (yet). Have a wonderful holiday!
