John 4 – God is Love

By Jeff on August 23, 2024 in Comics

Abby thinks that her Pastor committed a grammatical error when he quoted John 4:7-8. “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”

Abby: My Pastor said "God is Love."
Jerry: That's right.

Abby: But the word "Love" is a verb, like in "I love to dance." Saying someone is a verb doesn't make sense. Maybe I should start saying "Abby is dance."
Jerry: "Love" can also be a noun, like in "He has a lot of love." It's used like that.

Abby: Oh.

Abby: Can I still say "Abby is dance?"

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.

Abby: The 4th of July was great. We watched fireworks from the church lawn.
Con: (SHUDDER)
Abby: I heard about you running and hiding in the church when the fireworks show started.
Con: I thought it was thunder. You know how I feel about the Godless thunder!
Abby: "Godless" thunder?

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