LOS ANGELES - When the Rev. Tom Eggebeen took over as interim pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church three years ago, he looked around and knew it needed a jump start.

Most of his worshippers, though devoted, were in their 60s, attendance had bottomed out and the once-vibrant church was fading as a community touchstone in its bustling neighborhood.

"The 30-minute worship service, complete with individual doggie beds, canine prayers and a tray of dog treats for the offering, is intended attract new members who are as crazy about God as they are about their four-legged friends." [url=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33617857/ns/us_news-faith/]

Utter stupidity, blasphemous, puerile, foolish, and completely lacking any conviction of the Spirit. Circus church!

Idolatry, though many don't admit to a public service, they're guilty as well. Maybe I am too.

imo. <<<

Talking Dogs in Churches.

Hi Pastor Mrs Pami Wahl I think this Pastor needs a new brain. Only dog that should be able to come in any church is a true service dog.
You should be able to give God his time. Just leave the dog home with the TV on Animal Plant.

To worship the image of the beast, where man thinks more of the creation more than the Creator and we find our true companions in amongst the beast for the world is VOID, empty of love for one another and we treat and dress our pets as if their were family,because we trained up our family as lawless animals.
Well God warned us all this would happen. I have noticed it and wrote about it for years now. Adam wasn't able to find a suitable helpmeet among the animals...

Just one good reason to believe the Bible, If, one can't believe it as Truth just because God says it is.

My 2 little wooies know they are wonderful creations of a God, well they should know, I tell them enough. I'm sure they think I'm wonderful too for the amounts of walks and treats they get., and if I take them to the beach I'm the best thing since sliced bread.

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It's a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
