By jeff on May 22, 2024 in Comics

Con: How did your math test go?
Nim: Not well. But it's okay.

Nim: I told my teacher that Paul said God "Made foolish the wisdom of the world." So I don't need to know math.

Con: You realize that's not what that verse really means.

Nim: Tomorrow, I'm going to tell the football coach what I think of him, 'cause God "chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
Con: Good luck with that.

1 Corinthians 10:13 – Temptation

By jeff on April 17, 2024 in Comics

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

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.
