1 John 4:1 – Don’t Believe Everything You Hear

By jeff on April 19, 2024 in Comics

Christians must take many things on faith, but it’s important not to believe everything we hear. A little skepticism can protect us from false prophets.

Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.

1 John 4:1

Amos: Really? Oh, well. No harm, no foul.
Con: Then I guess you haven't seen him.
Amos: Seen who?
Nim: Hi guys, what's shaking?

Don't believe everything you hear.

Food In Church Has No Calories?

By jeff on April 18, 2024 in Comics

God gives us so many blessings, it’s easy to go a little too far. While enjoying these blessings is not a sin, the Bible teaches us we need self control.

So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.

1 Peter 1:13

Amos: I can't wait for the church dinner this week! I'm going to have 2 hamburgers, a giant plate of fries, some of those big pickles, a couple of chocolate milks and two...no...three desserts!
Nim: Hold on, Amos...I thought you were on a diet. That's a lot of calories.
Amos: I am. But food you eat in church doesn't have any calories.
Nim: Hot dog!

If only that were true.

1 Corinthians 10:13 – Temptation

By jeff on April 17, 2024 in Comics

Every day, Satan tempts us with the sins of the world, making them seem irresistible. When this happens to you, pray for strength to fight his temptations.

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

1 Corinthians 10:13

↓ Transcript

Amos: The vet made my master put me on a diet.
Nim: How's that going?
Amos: I realized that being on a diet is a lot like our journey as Christians. Every morning, we have to wake up and make a decision to be faithful or not.
Nim: Yeah, but at least with a diet, you don't have the devil whispering in your ear to be bad.
Amos: I don't know. I've always thought the devil might come dressed as a cupcake.

Just like in dieting, we must remain resolute in our Christian walk.

Mark 5:36 – Super-Pastor

By jeff on April 16, 2024 in Comics

One thing God and Christ tell us time and again is “Do not be afraid.” Isn’t it about time you got with the program and just took them at their word?

Mark 5:36

Nim: Have you talked to your pastor about your fear of thunder?
Con: I don't think he would understand. He's not afraid of anything. Not rolled-up papers, loud noises, shiny floors, not even thunder.
Nim: Wow. He's not just a Pastor. He's more like a superhero.
Con: Seriously.

Your church leaders can help you reduce your fears.

Hebrews 13:6 – Have No Fear

By jeff on April 15, 2024 in Comics

Throughout the Bible, we’re told “fear not,” “have no fear” & “do not be afraid.” When you give your soul to Christ, you can rest easy in His protection.

So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”

Hebrews 13:6

↓ Transcript

Abby: Your fear of thunder is irrational, Con.
Con: I know.
Abby: Thunder is just a sonic wave created by the expansion of air surrounding a bolt of lightning.
Con: I know it's irrational, but you of all people should understand. After all, you're afraid of rolled-up newspapers.
Abby: You're not actually comparing a little thunder to "Satan's Baseball Bats," are you?

With God, we have nothing to fear.

1 John 4:18 – Fear & Godless Thunder

By jeff on April 14, 2024 in Comics

1 John 4:18 is one of the 365 times that we’re told in the Bible we should have no fear. God can help you get over any fear you have, just ask Him for help.

Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

1 John 4:18

Abby: The 4th of July was great. We watched fireworks from the church lawn.

Abby: "Godless" thunder?

Sometimes talking about your fears can help you deal with them.

The race Paul talks about represents our daily battle against sin.
