Walking Dead

Though we equate Sloth with laziness, that's not a wholly accurate comparison. Sloth is being lazy not about our work, but about the demands Love makes on us. To be in relationship with someone else - God, a spouse, family or friends - requires growth and change on our part. Sloth is resisting these changes. Like Lot's wife, we often choose to stay where we're comfortable, someplace familiar, rather than follow God into a new, better, more healthy and whole life. Sloth is the enemy of Sanctification! And sometimes that staying, that refusing change can take a lot of work. We would do well to heed the advice of U2: Walk On! Even when it's hard, even when it's scary, even when it costs us, walk on. Press on. Don't fall back. Walk on!
