This Sunday, three Sundays removed from the Sunday of Pentecost, the day on which the Holy Spirit gave birth to the church, we will reflect, in keeping with the theme of the Holy Spirit, on a few verses from Paul's letter to the Galatians (chapter 5). Here Paul juxtaposes two conditions, two lifestyles: The first is a life lived according to the passions of the flesh; the other is a life lived according to the power of the Holy Spirit. The former brings death, the other brings life. Paul then catalogues the sure signs of a Spirit-filled life, the fruit of the Holy Spirit. This Sunday let's simply run through these signs of the maturing disciple and check our vitals.
