His desire for food is only outweighed by his love for God…but it’s a really close call.
↓ TranscriptCon: I hear you told Nim food has no calories if eaten in church.
Amos: That's right!
Con: No, that's wrong. Food always has calories.
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?
↓ TranscriptAmos: I can't wait for the church dinner this week!
Amos: 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: Hon 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!
↓ TranscriptAmos: This diet has me thinking about the forbidden fruit.
Con: Wow! That's a great way to relate your experience to the Bible, Amos. You know, no one knows what fruit it really was. The idea of it being an apple is just legend. Some scholars even say it's a fruit that no longer exists.
Con: What kind of fruit do you think it might have been?
Amos: I'll bet it was chocolate fruit.
↓ TranscriptAmos: The vet made my master put me on a diet.
Nim: How's that going?
Amos: I realized that being on a diet is 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.
↓ TranscriptAmos: My new business cards just came in.
Con: That's great, Amos. Let me see one.
Con: I don't understand. All this says is "Jesus loves you."
Amos: I know. Spreading the love of Jesus is my business!
↓ TranscriptAmos: So your quest for world domination has come to a close, huh?
Nim: Yeah, I finally understood that I was putting my faith in money instead of in God. And that God is the only one Who can have dominion over the world.
Amos: That's a very mature attitude.
Nim: I know. And now I can focus on what I REALLY want.
Amos: What's that?
Nim: Pure, raw power!
↓ TranscriptAmos: My church had six baptisms this past Sunday.
Con: That's awesome! You know, every time my church goes through one of our rituals, I can actually feel my relationship with God grow. It strengthens my faith and helps me to become an active part of the "Body of Christ."
Con: How did the baptisms make you feel, Amos?
Amos: Hungry! We were 30 minutes late getting out of church!
↓ TranscriptNim: Professor Amos, how do I get the Fruits of the Spirit?
Amos: By accepting Christ, they are already growing inside you.
Amos: It takes time, prayer and faith. But God will give them to you.
Nim: Couldn't I just buy them in a convenient juice box?
↓ TranscriptJesus had a great mom
And so do I!
Happy Mother's Day!
↓ TranscriptNim: I'll bet the mall is crowded!
Amos: Why?
Nim: It's the day after the National Day of Prayer!
Amos: So?
Nim: So? The day after holidays are always crazy at the mall. You know, like the day after Thanksgiving...Christmas...New Year's...
Nim: Last week, I went for the day after Arbor Day Sale. Whoa! It was a madhouse!
