Song Highlight: “Slow Fade”

Saphaa Zarif
You might’ve heard small portion of it in the fireproof movie, the song “Slow Fade” is sung 9th March
by Casting Crowns and is one of my (marten) favourite. The song is from the “The Alter
And The Door” album, the team describe it best: Did we miss out on your birthday? Please
let us know.
“This song was inspired by the spreading cancer of moral failure in the fathers of this gen-
eration. As believers, we must guard our hearts and understand the no one crashes and
burns. They just slowly fade away one little compromise at a time.” - Casting Crowns

It is important as believers to realize the tactics that our enemy uses, and one of his biggest
is small compromises . A line in the song goes “Be careful if you think you stand, you might
just be sinking!”. Don’t watch yourself slowly fade… rise up and be alert of your spiritual
state!. Proverbs 24:16 “For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again”.
