Are you a Cat Christian or a Dog Christian?

[hilhill]

A dog says, “You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, you must be God.”

A cat says, “You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, I must be God.”

With these two underlying themes, the book Cat & Dog Theology by Bob Sjogren gave me a whole new perspective on how I viewed God and the Bible. I was definitely a cat thinker before by thinking that I existed for God to serve me. But the way a dog thinks is “I exist to serve God.” The main point from all of this is a quote from the book-

"Life was defined to be a series of events to reveal God’s glory and point us and others to to that glory. That is what life is all about! It’s all about Him, not us!"

These videos are very short (about 3 minutes each), I hope you will watch them... They talk just a little about the Cat & Dog Theology but I really recommend getting and reading the book. It may be hard to believe, but aside from the Bible, I believe this book has been the #1 lifechanging Christian book I have ever read. (and my fav author is John Piper!) It will change how you view everything from worship music, the Bible, God's glory, prayer, creation, missions, and even your purpose in life.

The Buzzard, Bat & Bumblebee

BUZZARD - If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6' x 8' and is entirely
open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10-12'. Without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

I can't believe I want this book. Where did you get yours?

Why do cats get such a bad rap? :idunno My cat is more like a dog in this scenario. He's always begging for our attention, sleeps at my feet, comes to the door when we get home. He's a good cat. :)

My question.. if everything we need in in God's Word, and it is sufficient for us, and Heb 4:12, tells us to go Boldly to the throne of grace with our prayer requests, then why is a man teaching is special tactics in how to get our prayers answered by God?

This guy is OFF IMO. (looking into this more)

"Praying God's Word"


Keep this in mind::thumb
God has not left us to fish around in the world of spirits and subjective experiences to know Him and speak to Him. God send His Son, who pre-existed as God and with God, to be born of a virgin and live in history in the flesh. The apostles heard Him, touched Him and saw Him (see 1John 1:1-3). He died for sins on the cross, shedding His blood to avert God’s wrath against our sin. He was bodily raised on the third day and He bodily ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father. Before He left He promised His followers that they could ask the Father anything in His name. He inspired eyewitnesses to write His inerrant words so that we would know the truth from Him. The Bible promises us that He hears us. It doesn’t give us a set of techniques to hear inner voices and call these techniques “prayer.”

The mystics are confident that their extra-biblical techniques and extra-biblical experiences are certainly from God and are making more pious Christians than those of us who only have prayer as taught in the Bible and the Word of God to go by. Having discovered the secrets to increased piety and “intimacy with God,” they write books so that others can become similarly “enlightened” and be saved from their “ordinary” Christian lives. Dear readers, they are selling you a bill of goods. They are not infallible apostles and prophets, they do not speak authoritatively for God, their theology is unbiblical, and their practices are not ordained by God. I have touched on three examples of this approach but there have been literally thousands of them in church history. The simple application is this: do not listen to them. They can only deceive you; they cannot make you more holy or pleasing to God. Only the finished work of Christ and His ordained means of grace can do that.
