I'm a senior in high school and in physics we learned about Newton’s third law of motion, “for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction”, I didn’t think about how it applies to our spiritual life. Another physics law that could apply to our spiritual lives, now that I think about it, is Newton’s first law of motion which states “An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest, until an opposite and unbalanced force acts against it”. This is applied in Hebrews 12:1, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that God has set before us.” which would explain the first law of motion in a spiritual sense. When a person first becomes saved, or when a Christian goes to a conference and they are on a spiritual high, they are moving with God, but then when they get back to the real world Satin will try to slow them down, try to provide an opposite and unbalanced force to stop their spiritual motion with God. If we do not let Satin provide force against us to stop our spiritual motion with God by stripping off every weight that would slow us down then we will move faster and be able to keep running the race that God has set before us by providing a force to negate Satin. Sadly many times what happens to Christians and newly saved Christians when they are on a spiritual high is that Satin bombards them with temptation and slows their run with God or makes it come to a halt, and some times he bombards them so much that they start moving in the opposite direction. This is the bad thing about the laws of spiritual motion, when we are pushed so hard by Satin that we go the opposite direction that God wants us to be in. What I loved about the Dare to Share conferences is that it provided a time for God to provide the force to combat all the speed that Satin had built up in our lives and push us in the direction that God wanted us to go in. The thing we have to be able to do is to keep up enough spiritual force to combat Satin's force against us and in return provide enough force to make us move stronger and faster than we were before.

Equal and opposite reaction...GREAT INSIGHT! Thanks, Greg. Great post. Equal and opposite reaction…GREAT INSIGHT! Thanks, Greg.
