I just got done reading a biography called She Said Yes about Cassie Bernall, a girl who was shot in her school in 1999. Her life might have been spared if she said that she didn't believe in God, but (from the sounds of it) no one really knows since the other thirteen that died with her weren't all Christians. Whatever the case, she was a martyr because "she said yes". This one sentence at the end of the book really popped out to me: "...it is better to die for what you believe, than to live a lie." Like Cassie, we shouldn't be afraid to die for what we believe in. We should stand up for Christ rather than lie and live because of it. It would most likely be hard if that ever happened to us, but Christ died for us and took all our sins upon Himself so how could we not die for Him?
