Dog vs Cat Mentality

Dog vs Cat Mentality A while back, we visited a church in a Franconia, Virginia. Awesome little church with nice fellowship and a great preacher. Doing what we do (questions and answers, debates, speaking at events), we've gotten a chance to hear many sermons throughout the passed couple of years. This one preaching caught our attention because it was something I never really thought about. If was about the different mentality between dogs and cats, and how it applies to us followers of Christ. To some it up quickly, there is the dog. The dogs owner baths him, trims his nails, feeds him, then has a cuddle session. The dog then proceeds to think "this person has fed me, cleaned me up, cuddled me, and gave me treats. He must be God!" Then there is the cat. Given the same scenario, he looks at his owner and says "this person has fed me, cleaned me up, cuddled me, and gave me treats. I must be God!" After hearing this, it served as a reminder of how many times God blesses us throughout the year, and rather than having a thankful disposition, we run with the cat mentality. Rather than being greatful for what we have, and being thankful to our Creator, we feel completely entitled as if we deserve all things (like the forgiveness he gave us on the cross). With this in mind, we just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! -The BRC Team-
