Another snippet from The Thrill of Orthodoxy: Rediscovering the Adventure of Christian Faith by Trevin Wax.
“Getting too many notes wrong will change the song. The details of doctrine matter because little changes can lead to big consequences. A slight adjustment in the trajectory of a rocket could lead it far from its destination. Give the wrong dose, or mix the wrong ingredients, and the prescription could harm the patient. Leave out or replace a spice required by a recipe, and the food will taste different.
“…Every few years, we hear of a building that has collapsed somewhere, or a bridge that has buckled. These catastrophes always begin with cracks often unnoticeable to the human eye, tiny changes in the foundation that affect the structure. It all begins with a crack. Drifting begins with the little error, seemingly insignificant, that over time—once that mistake is pushed further and further to its logical conclusion—reveals itself in opposition to orthodoxy.”
