On A Diet

By jeff on April 23, 2024 in Comics

Your body is the Temple for the Holy Spirit and represents the life God gave each of us. Don’t take such a precious gift for granted, take care of yourself.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

↓ Transcript

Nim: Why am I on this stupid diet? It's not like it's a sin or anything to be fat!
Abby: Maybe it's not a sin, but it shows ingratitude to God for his gift of life. Plus, our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and should be kept as pure as possible.
Nim: Don't argue with me today, fuzzball! I may be small, but I'm hungry!

Look at what you do to excess and ask, "Is this interfering with my relationship with God?"

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

By jeff on April 19, 2024 in Comics

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

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 jeff on April 18, 2024 in Comics

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

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.

Is Being Overweight A Sin?

By jeff on July 26, 2016 in Comics

Getting Serious About A Diet

By jeff on July 25, 2016 in Comics

Be sure you don’t judge others. All judgment is reserved for God. You can find the Parable of the Weeds in your Bible. Just go to Matthew 13.

↓ Transcript

Nim: I've been kidding myself, but now I'm serious about my diet.

Nim: I don't want others judging me and thinking I'm just a fatso.

Con: And they shouldn't. Jesus teaches us in the Parable of the Weeds that we shouldn't judge the "Good Seed" from the "Weeds." All judgment should be left to God.

Nim: That might be helpful if I was eating seeds. But what I need is a diet food that doesn't taste like feet!
