Unleaded and Diesel
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★YOU CANNOT mix unleaded and diesel fuel and still think
you’re going somewhere. The moment you introduce diesel
and unleaded into the same “unleaded-only” engine, you have
canceled the unleaded by the fact of diesel. Just because it
looks like gas doesn’t mean it is going to help you. What we
do as Christians is we come to church to get unleaded, then on
Monday go to the world and get diesel and wonder why we’re
only chugging along.
The point
Mixing incompatible fuels ruins an engine; Christians who get 'unleaded' at church but 'diesel' influences during the week cancel out and stall spiritually.
