Five Donuts and a Diet Coke
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★A MAN walked into a donut shop and, with a smile, asked for
five donuts and a Diet Coke. Now, that Diet Coke was not
going to cancel out the negative effects of five nonnutritional,
sugar-soaked, fat-filled, donuts.
Some Christians think that “diet church” on Sunday morning
will cancel out sinful living Monday through Saturday. It just
doesn’t work that way.
The point
A diet drink doesn't cancel the effects of five donuts; Sunday church attendance doesn't offset weekday sinful living.
