Polluted Water
Analogy★★★★If you have some water and it’s polluted water, should you drink it? Oh, come on. Just a little bit of pollution, right? On the farm, we had drinking troughs for cows. Either they had a big bin, like a 50-gallon container with water that would continually fill, or they had these little stations and they could just push into it and then water would come in and they would drink. It’s really good water, but after watching the cows drink out of it, I’m not really interested in drinking after them. No, thank you. It’s a little bit gross.
Austin, David, “01 Keeping the Sabbath Holy” (AudioVerse teaching 28420).
The point
An analogy comparing polluted water to contaminated beliefs or behaviors that should not be consumed.
The lesson
Even a little sin makes us impure; we need Jesus to make us clean.
