When we see injustice, cruelty, and other forms of darkness, do we bring the light of God's grace and gospel into those situations? Some days the world seems particularly dark with evil behaviors - during these times we should shine the brightest. Matt 5:14-16
In Nehemiah 6, God's people were made afraid by the words of their enemies. Nehemiah resists that fear by calling on God to strengthen him and give him courage. This passage might remind us that faith in God is cure the for fear, and that fear is a drain on our faith. May we seek God's help in strengthening our faith to overcome the many fears that beset us.
Nehemiah is angry when he learns how poorly God's people were treating each other. He was specifically upset over the way the poor were being treated. He accused the wealthy of disregarding God's law (Neh 5:6). The wealthy of Nehemiah's day repented and changed their practices. What would happen if the church began to care more about pleasing God and caring for His people, than about making a profit?
In Nehemiah 4:20, a trumpet sounded the need for God's people to gather to fight for their brothers.
What is our call to gather and fight our great enemy when he attacks our brothers and sisters in Christ? May we see the suffering of others and respond with care, concern, and prayer.
Each of the cartoons on this site is an expression of a sermon I heard in church. As a cartoonist, my method of understanding complex theological topics is to boil them down to simple images.
These images will never do justice to the sermons from which they are derived, but hopefully, they convey at least one aspect of those sermons to you, the reader.
I hope that you gain some benefit from the cartoons and will reuse them in ways that honor Christ.
