But too much makes it weak. The Titanic rivet, Foecke found, had a dangerously high slag content of about 9 percent. In addition, the streaks of slag, which should run lengthwise along the rivet, showed another serious flaw which weakened the metal. The slag made a 90-degree turn at one end. Not an iceberg, not faulty hull plates, but something so small as the rivets, may have doomed the maiden voyage of the pride of the White Star Line.
Spiritual destruction starts with the small things.
One sin here, one sin there and little by little the seeds of destruction are sown. You do not notice it at first, but when pressure comes against your life, its seams are exposed to the elements that would destroy you, and nothing human can be done to stop it. He saved me in every way a person can be saved. Not quite every way, Rose. That requires Jesus.
