When you hear the word "godliness", what immediately comes to your mind? For many people, the word evokes images of pious-looking saints in ethereal settings, or the idea of being "so heavenly minded that you're no earthly good".

In our walk of faith, all of us are a work in progress to one degree or another. While it's foolish to expect flawlessness or perfection from ourselves or others, living a life of blatant, willful, unrepentant sin is not an acceptable route to go either.

One of the most unfortunate things to witness is a prominent Christian figure very publicly falling into sin, and then dealing with the inevitable fallout that comes afterward.

In Galatians 6:6, there's a particular idea that sticks out like a sore thumb, not only because of what it overtly says, but also in terms of where it is placed in the context of Paul's line of thinking.
