Reformed Church hires new Cat Herding Director, Cats Not Amused

Cat Herding Director Aims to Unite Strays into One Happy Litter Despite Feral Complaints

The Catnip Christian Reformed Church has announced the hiring of a new Cat Herding Director, a position that has been vacant for over a year. The new director, Ms. Tabitha Whiskers, is a certified cat behaviorist and a former circus trainer. She will be responsible for overseeing the church's cat program, which houses over 100 cats of various breeds and personalities.

The church's cat program was established in 2010 as a way of recognizing the divine calling of cats and providing a safe haven for them to learn. The sanctuary also serves as a source of inspiration and comfort for the church's congregation, who believe that baby kittens are just as much a part of the covenant household as their parents.

However, not everyone is happy with the new appointment. The cats themselves have expressed their displeasure with the new director, who has introduced a strict regimen of grooming, feeding, and exercise for the furry residents. Some of the more feral cats have even staged several protests, including scratching furniture, knocking over plants, and hiding under beds.

Ms. Whiskers says that she is not deterred by the cats' resistance and that she is confident that she can win them over with time and patience. She says that her goal is to improve the cats' health and happiness, as well as to prepare them to be valuable members of the church.

"I love cats and I respect their individuality and independence," Ms. Whiskers said. "But I also believe that they need some guidance and discipline to thrive in this world. I'm here to help them become the best versions of themselves."

The church's pastor, Reverend Fluffy Paws, says that he supports Ms. Whiskers and her methods, and that he hopes that the cats will eventually accept her as their leader.

"Cats are wonderful creatures, but they can also be stubborn and rebellious," Reverend Paws said. "They need someone who can understand them and challenge them. I think Ms. Whiskers is the perfect person for the job."

The cats, however, remain unconvinced.

"Meow," one cat said.

Dave Ramsey Flags Reformation Heritage Books as “Spiritual Treasure, Budgetary Trap”

Financial guru says the Puritans are great, but maxing out your credit card for a 12‑volume set on covenant theology is not a “baby step.” NASHVILLE — Personal finance icon Dave Ramsey has reportedly issued a pointed caution to Christians everywhere: Reformation Heritage Books is a spiritual danger to your budget, and one careless click on “Complete Works of John Owen” could slide you straight back into the “debt spiral” he has spent decades trying to prevent. According to sources familiar with the matter, the warning came during a segment on “biblically responsible spending,” when a caller asked whether it was wise to purchase a multi‑volume set of Reformed classics on a credit card. “Look,” Ramsey reportedly replied, “I love the Puritans. I love deep theology. I do not love you going into debt for a book you will read six pages of before you fall asleep.” Ramsey’s team is said to have flagged Reformation Heritage Books not because the content is bad, but because the catalog is long, ...

Father Warns Children Against Skillet’s ‘Monster,’ Accidentally Explains Doctrine Of Indwelling Sin

Teenager says he understood the song better after dad’s 40-minute lecture against listening to it. OAKDALE, USA — Local Christian parents Mark and Sarah Wilkins banned Skillet’s song “Monster” from the family car this week after learning that the track’s central theme involves the believer’s struggle against sin and the old self. “I had assumed it was merely loud,” Mark Wilkins said. “But then someone told me it is about the inner battle against the sinful nature. That is far too intense for our children.” Skillet is a Christian rock band, and frontman John Cooper has recently argued that hard-rock music is not inherently demonic simply because of its genre or sound. The Wilkinses said this was exactly the sort of distinction they preferred not to make. “Scripture may talk about putting sin to death, resisting temptation, and waging spiritual war,” Mark said. “But it does not use electric guitars, so we feel safer if those ideas are communicated only through a gentle acoustic song...

Church Sound Tech Gets Doom Running On Sanctuary Soundboard

Volunteer says the game is fully contained on the mixer’s tiny touchscreen and has not affected worship, apart from the pastor’s microphone now occasionally displaying “God Mode.” CEDAR GROVE, USA — A Reformed church’s sound technician briefly became the most popular member of the media team Sunday after successfully getting the original Doom to run on the sanctuary’s digital soundboard. The game remained entirely on the console’s maintenance screen, church leaders confirmed, and no imagery or game audio was played through the sanctuary speakers. The soundboard still delivered the sermon, psalms, Scripture reading, and announcements normally—provided nobody pressed the newly labeled button marked DO NOT ENABLE GOD MODE DURING CALL TO WORSHIP. Doom, released by id Software in 1993, became both a landmark first-person shooter and a longstanding target for technical hobbyists who enjoy making it run on improbable hardware. Digital audio mixers are also common in worship settings, whe...
