Have you thought about the long term effects of your decisions? Please watch this 4 minute video from the lead singer of Casting Crowns.
People never crumble in a day. It is always a slow fade. Think about your decisions and surround yourself with good Godly friends that will help you with accountability. Let them into your life and help them with theirs.
The good news is our lives, our marriages and our friendships can be rebuilt through repentance, forgiveness and grace.
You can change your decision to divorce your spouse. You can reconcile with your ex-husband/wife. You can forgive, especially where there is repentance and change. You can decide to not take that trip with the “boys” that might lead to bad choices. You can decide to cut off contact with any inappropriate relationships. You can decide to not take advice from those that live selfishly and give advice that contradicts with biblical teachings.You can decide to meet new friends that will support good decisions. You can decide to read what the Bible says on topics in your life. You decide.
What will you decide today? Will you put the proper boundaries in your life? Will you follow the Word of God?

The videos really expanded my understanding of how small decisions have such a lasting impact on our lives…Thank you for sharing the word…it has changed the way I view my choices.
This song has immense meaning to me. Over 10 yrs ago, shortly after discovering that my son was terminally ill my husband began to turn to internet pornography. I was upset about how much time he spent, but the enormity of that choice was definately not evident. It seemed like that choice only hurt him, and to some degree myself. Years went by…it seemed like that wasn’t fulfilling him anymore. He had purchased pornographic movies, and seemed to fantacize a lot. Still it seemed that there were only two victims here. At one point there seemed to be hope because he came home from church and was “convicted” of his choices. He tore apart all of the tapes destroying them and threw them all away. He did end up returning to that behavior, and one horrific day I was made aware that his obsession had taken him down the most tragic and unthinkable path. I discovered that he had started to abuse our daughters. The abuse was discovered about 3 1/2 years ago. His slow fade took 7 1/2 years from beginning to end, and the results were devastating to our family, friends, and Church community. God will use all thing for his glory in the lives of those who love and seek Him. I am feeling led to publically share my testimony with women’s groups and Slow Fade is a song that I intend to include in my presentation. Thank you Casting Crowns for warning the world against falling into a “Slow Fade”. God’s people need to set their sights on the Savior, and be diligent at living Godly lives, and seeking His will. If you are dedicated to that, you will never lose your way.
