I am currently reading Holy Subversion by Trevin Wax. This book is an excellent look at how the lives of Christians should subvert the reigning idols in our society, instead of being subverted by our culture. The book is also full of great quotes that I will be sharing here as I go through it. Here is the first.
There are two kinds of Christians. "Sink Christians" view salvation as they would a sink. The water of salvation flows into the sink so that Christians can soak up all the benefits: eternal life, assurance in the presence of God, and strength in times of trial. Those who adopt this mind-set concentrate soley on what the Bible says God has done and will do for them.
"Faucet Christians" view salvation differently. They look at the world as the sink and themselves as a faucet. The blessing of salvation flow to them in order to flow through them out to the wider world. They rightly see that the Bible describes salvation as something that God not only does for them, but also through them.
