Diesel in an Unleaded Engine
Analogy★★★★THE transformation you long formust come from the divine method God has prescribed. If you run out of gas in a car that requires regular unleaded and put in diesel, you are not going anywhere. At best, you are going to chug along, because that fuel has not been made for your engine. Many of us are trying to be transformed using the wrong fuel and we wonder why we are just chugging along.
