More of an explanation about the title (because, you know, you always have to have more of an explanation)

So, in our spiritual lives, we are in a constant process of breaking down and building up. Under optimal conditions, we are breaking down our flesh and building up our faith. Sometimes though, we are in undesirable conditions. Our flesh can build back up, or our faith can start breaking down. The worst case scenerio is when both undesirable conditions are happening at once.

The reason we are in equilibrium is because our flesh doesn't totally go away. That's because of The Fall of Creation :-/ We can hope that we continue in our spiritual growth and the flesh continues to be broken down so we grow in faith. That's where we need God's help. Because we can't maintain this equilibrium alone....
