Nim's Got A Bad Gratitude

Sometimes being grateful is hard, especially when it’s about something we don’t like, but is good for us. Try to stay gratitude to God for all He gives you.

↓ Transcript
Nim: I hate going to the vet! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!!!
Abby: You should try to change your perspective. Try to have gratitude that God has provided us with modern medicine. Instead of saying "I hate the vet!" say "Thank you, God for creating talented veterinarians I can go to."
Nim: Easy for you to say. You don't have to go to the vet today.
Abby: True.

Sometimes it's hard to remember to give thanks for things that aren't fun. Try to do it anyway.

Get Out Of Jail Free

Get Out Of Jail Free

Some people mistakenly think salvation is a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card, letting us to do whatever we want. But sincere faith calls for desiring God’s will.

↓ Transcript
Nim: My friend said it's okay for Christians to sin because God's forgiveness is like a free pass to do whatever you want.
Abby: Your friend is wrong. And if he thinks that way, he might not have sincerely accepted Christ.
Nim: It's funny. That's EXACTLY what I told him! Actually, I just said "Shut up, you pootyhead!" But the gist was the same as what you said.

God's forgiveness through Christ isn't a "Get out of Jail Free" card for us.

Jerry: I am so stressed out!
Abby: Don't let it get to you, Jerry. Although anxiety is a normal response to stress, we should view it as sin because it shows we lack faith in God. Remember the story of the Good Shepherd.
Jerry: But I'm not a Shepherd. I'm a Dalmatian!

Trust in the Lord to fulfill all your needs and desires.

Finding God On A Map

There are many resources for learning about God on the web, but you don’t need a search engine to find Him. Just open your heart and speak to Him today.

Jeremiah 29:13

 

↓ Transcript
Abby: I did a search for Heaven on Google Maps, but even they couldn't find it. If Google doesn't know where it is, it must be really hard to find!
Con: It's not hard to find. Just trust in God, and you'll find it very easily.
Abby: Okay, but how do I get to God's search engine?

Finding God is even easier than using a search engine.

Galatians 5:22-26 – Fruit Of The Spirit Mango Blast!

By on March 25, 2024 in Comics

Galatians 5 - Fruit of the Spirit Mango Blast!

In chapter 5 of his letter to the Galatians, Paul describes the Fruits of the Spirit, which are gifts from God that make us better people. Now Nim thinks he can make some improvements.

Galatians 5:22-26

22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 

25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 

26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.

 

↓ Transcript
Nim: I've been thinking about the Fruits of the Spirit Con talked about yesterday. God could really take it up a notch if he used some fusion.
Abby: God doesn't need any of your advice!
Nim: But it's the biggest thing in product branding now. You mix two tastes together. It's just like a mash-up, but with flavors.
Abby: Nim, you don't understan...
Nim: Something like Fruit-Of-The-Spirit-Mango-Blast!

You can find out about the Fruits of the Spirit in Galatians 5.

Matthew 9:9-13 – Seek Out Those Who Need God The Most

Matthew 9:9-13 - Seek Out Those Who Need God The Most

Matthew 9:9-13 shows us that we should seek out those who need God the most. Abby misses an opportunity to tell a non-believer about the love of Christ.

Matthew 9:9-13

9 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.

10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners.

11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?”

12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.”

13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”

↓ Transcript
Abby: I went to a dinner party last week and was seated next to an athiest.
Jerry: How did that go?
Abby: We had nothing in common so we didn't say a word to each other.
Jerry: You should have used it as an opportunity to witness. Jesus ate with the tax collectors and sinners. Remember his words: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."
Abby: Oh, he wasn't sick. He was just an unbeliever.

Matthew 9:9-13 shows us that we should seek out those who need God the most.

Luke 3 - The Baptism of Jesus

Luke 3 – 3:21-22 (NLT)

The Baptism of Jesus

Luke 3: One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”

Abby: I played in an inflatable pool today. It was so fun!

Jerry: Awesome! You know, water’s very important in the Bible. The woman at the well. The flood. And when Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan, the heavens opened and the Holy Spirit came to earth like a dove. Then God said, “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy!”

Abby: My experience was a little different.

Abby: I jumped out of the water and rolled in dirt as my master called me a “bad girl!”
