In 1986, two electrical engineers in the control room at Chernobyl nuclear disaster site were ‘playing around’ with some of the machines.  They were trying to see how long a turbine would ‘free wheel’ when they took the power off of it.  To do it, they had to override six separate computer-driven alarm systems.  You know the results. The largest industrial accident ever to occur in the world was the result.
 
The instructions and warnings in Scripture about our lives are just as clear.  We ignore them at our own peril, and sadly, at the peril of others.
