would you say yes?

..was so sleepy last night that i wasn't able to post this..

my brother loves Flyleaf, and it's obvious in his multiply and friendster accounts.

last night, he asked me to interpret the meaning of a certain song: "Cassie"

he showed me the lyrics and as i read between the lines, i had one thing in mind: this song is about one's courage to fight and die for what one believes in. and true enough, it was the message of the song.

the song was a tribute to cassie and rachel, victims of the columbine high school shooting.

you could read a lot of stuff about them and they would all lead to this: cassie was asked if she believed in God; she said yes. and she was killed.

it's the same question we ought to answer with conviction. would we say yes even if it'll cost our lives?

SFC's vision is this: A generation of LEADERS and MARTYRS.

during my quiet time, i read this verse from Revelation 12:11, "They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they gave up their lives going to death."

are we willing to die for our faith? be martyrs for the Lord?

i remember a verse from Matthew 10 (Discipleship and Its Cost), "Whoever saves his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, will find it."

HE DIED FOR US! LET'S LIVE [AND DIE] FOR HIM!

here's the lyrics of the song. really, it's something we could reflect on.

CASSIE

The question asked in order
To save her life or take it
The answer no to avoid death
The answer yes would make it
Make it

[Chorus]
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger

All heads are bowed in silence
To remember her last sentence
She answered him knowing what would happen
Her last words still hanging in the air
(In the air)

[Chorus]
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger

How many will die?
I will die
I, I will say yes

[Chorus]
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
Do you believe in God
Written on the bullet
And Cassie pulled the trigger

Do you believe in God?
Do you believe in God?
Do you believe in God?

... And I will pull the trigger

Good night everyone! Be blessed. Be a blessing! ^_^
