    Fighting the law of Entrophy


    What happens after a person accepts salvation from Jesus? Can we live a good Christian life without working hard at growing in holiness daily? It's easy to get lazy on the path to heaven. It's even easier to give in to the impulses of our flesh-nature. It takes conscious and conscientious effort to stay close to God.

    While we're still here in this sinful world, we suffer from the Law of Entropy. In scientific terms, "entropy" means that everything decays, disorder is natural and order is unnatural and requires great effort. So, too, in our spiritual lives. Growth in holiness takes effort, and without that effort, our holiness decays. Daily. And demons try subtle and not-so-subtle ways to entice us onto the easy path. Daily. As Jesus points out in today's Gospel reading, we can end up worse off than before our conversion.

    Jesus is the "someone stronger". He overpowered Satan by dying on the cross for our sins and then by overcoming death. It was our death that he took to the cross, and it was his life that he brings to us in his resurrection, if we choose to live in him. Jesus has swept our houses clean, but now it's up to us -- with his help of course -- to keep it clean.

    The best and most effective way to defeat demons is to do the opposite of whatever they want us to do. Are you tempted to get angry? Forgive instead. Feel like insisting on your own way? Do what the other person is demanding of you (as long as it's not sinful).

    We need to stop living in automatic mode and identify the ways that our lives are being controlled by the Law of Entropy. Putting effort into living holy lives is so eternally and vitally important that the cost of our time and energy, spent focusing on our spiritual purification, should not seem like too high a price.

    We have to be overcomers, working on our holiness daily and consciously choosing behaviors that fight against the Law of Entropy. One of the saddest examples of entropy is the case of someone with addictions who, although he (or she) desires to grow spiritually, is unwilling to pay the cost of recovery. An initial conversion to Christ will turn destruction into resurrection, but it cannot keep faith alive. On-going addictions cater to the flesh-nature, and so the spirit disconnects from Christ and decays.

    Remember, with God all things are possible. Everyone can be rescued from the Law of Entropy, but often it doesn't happen until they become miserable enough in their decay to desire change. We must continually pray for those who are on the road of destruction. We must take time to discern what God is asking us to do to help them seek recovery. And we must choose to trust in God's desire to resurrect all those we bring to him.




    by the way...

    "Stabat mater dolorosa iuxta Crucem lacrimosa, dum pendebat Filius."
    At the Cross her station keeping,stood the mournful Mother weeping,close to Jesus to the last.
