PASTOR DOG PASTOR CAT
Two Churches side by side. The first one's sign says, "WELCOME TO YOUR CHURCH WITH PASTOR DOG. COME AND LET ME WORSHIP YOU!" The next one says, "WELCOME TO MY CHURCH WITH PASTOR CAT. COME AND WORSHIP ME!"
Ya ya ya I'm poking fun. Disclaimer: I love dogs and cats the same. In my experience with years of dog and cat ownership, I had the distinct impression my dogs were there for me and I was there for my cats. Generally.
BUT...
Have you been to these two different kinds of churches?
One is where you feel like you are actually being served. Your best interest is at heart. They care about you and genuinely wanted you to benefit. They were there for you.
Then there's the other kind of church where you feel like you are there to serve the ego of the leadership and the business and finances of the church. You were there for them.
Attendance: higher at Pastor Cat's church.
