CATDOG


We had seminar just over the weekend called the "Cat and Dog Theology" brought to us by UnveilinGlory. The seminar expounded to us the difference between a dog Christian and a cat Christian.

A Cat Christian is one who expects God to bless it and that everything revolves around it. It avoids what is uncomfortable and does only what it likes, when it likes it. In other words, it is the Master.

A Dog Christian, however, is there for God and seeks only for His glory. It recognizes that every blessing it receives is to bless others in return. And since life wasn't design to be fair, it submits itself to the will of it's owner. In other words, God is the Master.

And if we're honest enough with ourselves, there are just so many more cats than there are dogs. I wonder how God feels about that. And if people can still walk around acting like a cat after hearing a seminar like that, what does it say about them? It is indeed the 21st century strategy to bring down the body of Christ - not with persecution cos we all know from history that doesn't work.

I guess everyone of us actually have some cat-ness in us. A selfishness, a cry for comfort and complacency in our lives. We need to recognise the log in our own eyes. We need to come back to the heart of worship ... the object of worship! Less we forget! Oh God that your people will come back to You and champion Your cause in this fallen world once again. The church needs to rise up and take it's place in history to fulfill Your purposes in this world. And then every knee will bow and tongue confess that You are Lord.
