People Never Crumble in a Day

Slow Fade
by Casting Crowns

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Be careful little ears what you hear
When flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
Be careful little lips what you say
For empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day

The journey from your mind to your hands
Is shorter than you're thinking
Be careful if you think you stand
You just might be sinking

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Oh be careful little eyes what see
Oh be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above is looking down in love
Oh be careful little eyes what you see

Hi guys, this is the cool song which we heard in service on Sunday which Ps Khong shared with us. I posted the MTV here for us to listen again.. but more importantly I want us to read the lyrics clearly and reflect what it means for ourselves.

Let's not play hide-and-seek with God anymore and answer these questions truthfully:

1. How are we doing in our Christian walk? Give a 1-10 rating to it.

2. Are we crumbling in our spiritual walk already?

3. If yes, reflect and ask yourself why? What were some things that you did, or didn't do that cause your walk to crumble?

4. Are there any areas in our life that we may have crossed the line on God, or are potentially nearing the line?

5. Are we flirting with sins in our lives and still keeping it hidden under the carpet, refusing to repent before the Lord and let things come to light?

6. Do we have any desire to want to improve our current situation?

7. If yes, what do you think you should do practically? If no, why?

Let's get serious in our walk with Lord. Let's not play religious games with the Lord anymore. Let's reflect and question ourselves to the very depths of our souls - Are we serious about God? Do we really desire to grow?

If Yes, then the decision is clear! It's time to kick away those addictive habits. Stop being loose with our words. Stop looking down on ourselves and think negatively. Stop being emo and eating worms in our sorrows. If we are serious, we got to taken practical actions to the nice words we utter!

If No, then the decision is clear too. You can float along but in the end, you do not know where you are going. You just want to feel good by coming to church but yet not serious about changing your life. Honestly, there won't be much growth.

I would like to implore of us to reflect and make a personal decision about your relationship with God and where it's going to go.

Our Time is Up! Don't drift around anymore! Stop playing church or the religious game anymore! No man can serve two masters - we either be committed to the Lord and though Him serve and be a blessing to the world, or we be committed to the World and treat God like a religion.

It's time to get serious with God!
