Genesis 6:18 – Noah’s Wife

By on April 22, 2024 in Comics

Noah's Wife

The story of Noah’s arc covers a large part of Genesis (Gen 5:32-10:1). Although Noah’s wife plays a large part in the story, we never learn her name.

But I will confirm my covenant with you. So enter the boat—you and your wife and your sons and their wives.

Genesis 6:18

↓ Transcript
Nim: Was Noah's wife Joan of Ark?
Abby: No! Who in the world would ever think that?

No one knows the name of Noah's wife because it's never mentioned in the Bible.

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

By on April 19, 2024 in Comics

Don't Believe Everything You Hear

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

↓ Transcript
Con: 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?

Don't believe everything you hear.

Food In Church Has No Calories?

By on April 18, 2024 in Comics

Food In Church Has No Calories

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

↓ Transcript
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 on April 17, 2024 in Comics

1 Corinthians 10:13 - Temptation

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 on April 16, 2024 in Comics

Seriously Afraid

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?

But Jesus overheard and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”

Mark 5:36

↓ Transcript
Nim: Have you talked to your pastor about your fear of 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.

Jesus has prepared a place for you in Heaven.

Isaiah 53:6 – Following God’s Path

By on April 8, 2024 in Comics

Trust in God, Not Money

Take a step back from the path you’re traveling on to assess whether it’s the path God wants you to tread. It’s easy to get lost when you’re not looking.

All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.     We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him     the sins of us all.

Isaiah 53:6

↓ Transcript
Amos: 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!

Do you do things to bring glory to God or to bring glory to yourself?

Proverbs 13:17 – Worldly Success

By on April 7, 2024 in Comics

Get RIch Quick Scheme

God wants us to succeed in everything we do, but we should never put the pursuit of money ahead of our relationship with God. Proverbs 13:17 speaks to this:

Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.

Proverbs 13:17

↓ Transcript
Con: What's wrong?
Nim: Abby pointed out something bad I've been doing. I was trying to get rich quick so I could have power over my own destiny, instead of trusting God to care for me.
Con: Cheer up, little guy. At least you see the error of your ways.
Nim: I know. But now I don't get to dominate the world!

Only a fool relies on himself over God.

By on April 6, 2024 in Comics

Philippians 4:19-20

Nim: My newest scheme is gonna make me millions!
Abby: Why is it so important to you to make millions?
Nim: Because...well...um...because...you see...it's...I...
