A little sleep, a little slumber, . . . Some stand 15 stories high and stretch for blocks. Unfortunately, these storage bins are often susceptible to grain dust explosions.
Some elevators blow up because microscopic dust particles suspended in the air suddenly ignite.
This situation reminds me of a similar danger among some Christians and churches, especially those that have been around for a while. Longtime believers and longstanding institutions are inclined to get cluttered up with little particles of familiarity, tradition, and laziness, which can easily be ignited by the sparks of temptation. Big troubles come from little problems that we may not even take seriously. They slowly build up to the point where clearing the air requires a complete overhaul. But the cost is nothing compared to the loss that occurs if particles of sin collect and produce an explosive downfall.
