Galatians 6:7-10
Brief recap:

John 16:7-15 (ESV)
I believe that Paul had a vision, an understanding of a church that was dynamic, vibrant, and filled with the wonder of God! And the only way that becomes possible is by living, sowing, and walking in the Spirit.
John 16:7-15 (ESV)
7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
