Nim: Tons of things! Broccoli...zucchini...cabbage...beets...
Abby: But you don't eat any of those...
Nim: I can't wait for the pounds to start melting away!
Just like when we’re dieting, Christians must be resolute in their obedience. The body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and deserves to be treated as holy.
↓ 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.
Are you doing things to bring glory to God or to bring glory to yourself? If it’s to feed your ego or benefit you in this world, pray now that God will open your eyes to his plan for your life.

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!

Con: Cheer up, little guy. At least you see the error of your ways.
Nim: I know.
Nim: But now I don't get to dominate the world!

God will satisfy all of your needs if you’ll turn your life over to Him. Instead of carrying the weight of trying to manage things you can’t control, lay it all at God’s feet

Abby: Why is it so important to you to make millions?
Nim: Because...well...um...because...you see...it's...I...

Nim: You know, you're sucking all the fun out of this world domination thing.

Baptism is a gift from God and is a part of your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. If you’re not baptized, talk to your pastor today.
↓ TranscriptAmos: Nim, how did you enjoy the baptism in church today?

Amos: I don't think...
Nim: I BAPTISE YOU! ZING!!! POW!!!
