Although each factor in a malfunction can be successfully dealt with individually, a perfect storm of many glitches makes a system vulnerable and exposed. Like the Apollo I disaster in which a freak fire consumed the lives of three astronauts, all the eventualities had been tested and retested with no reason to suspect anything potentially foreboding. Colonel Frank Borman concluded that the real cause of the disaster was "failure of the imagination" on the part of all involved. Likewise in our Christian lives, we are admonished to think carefully, considering all our ways and the potential effects of ignoring the instructions of God's Law. We live in an era in which God, slowly but surely, is removing His protective hedge from physical Israel, a venue in which we live and work. If we try to conceal our sins, God will forcefully expose our nakedness and shame. We should never trust in eternal security but fully use the cognitive abilities God has given us, as well as His implanted Holy Spirit, to carefully examine who and what we are, especially in our unique place in history. If we fail to do this, we are flying blind, oblivious to the potential perils around us. We need to deal with our weaknesses before we are painfully exposed to the world and each other.
