Hundreds of sea-going vessels have sunk in the depths of the seas, but few have captured attention like the Titanic. She sank on her maiden voyage in 1912.  Experts guessed that an iceberg tore a 300 foot gash in the side of the 900 foot ship.  In 1985, the wreckage was discovered two and a half miles beneath the surface of the ocean.  In 1995, a team of scientists and engineers did an exhaustive study of the remains of the ship. Their findings were astonishing.  Rather than a massive 100 yard gash, the total area of damage was 12 to 13 square feet.  Six punctures across six watertight holds was all it took to sink the ship.

It’s not just the big sins that can destroy you.  Tolerating sin of any size in your life can sink you!
