Something to Think About

One of my most favorite bands is Casting Crowns. Their music and lyrics are awesome. Recently, I heard one of their newest songs, "Slow Fade". I loved it from the minute I heard it. I was messing around on God Tube and came across this video. It really hit close to home, and the truth that it speaks is so piercing. How true it is that we never just wake up one day and decide to commit some "huge" sin, but it is the "slow fade" as we bit by bit choose to give into temptation. When we do this, we never think about what lies down the road, or we convince ourselves that we will only go so far. The next thing we know, we're not standing on the edge of the bank anymore. We stick our toes into the water and it feels so good we go in a little further and a little further. Before we realize it, we're in up to our necks and the water has turned to quicksand.
