Isaiah 64:6 describes a people wholly given to sin. Their righteousness is described as "filthy rags." In Romans 3, Paul reminds us that we too are a sinful people - that our very best actions are still ugly and unacceptable to a holy God. Isaiah ends this chapter begging God to forego his anger, and we in like manner may ask God to provide His righteousness in place of our sad attempts. This is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Good and Free! Isaiah 55
Isaiah 55 accosts us like a street vendor hawking goods. The difference is that this vendor is giving away the best food and drink for free (Isaiah 55:1). In a world that proclaims, "you get what you paid for," we might find this offer difficult to accept. Are you willing to take God at his word and receive the rich forgiveness He offers for free?

Memorial Day
It's important to stop and remember those who have gone before us. As we take time to think of those who fought for freedom, or who stood for faith, or were just our friends (John 15:12-14), may we take comfort in the words of Jesus Christ concerning those who are a part of His kingdom in John 14.

Striving with our creator
When we find ourselves in situations we think we are ill-fitted to handle, we naturally question God. In a uniquely absurd metaphor, God asks if a pot would question it's potter. The obvious answer is "no" the potter knew what he was doing - in the same way that God knew what He was doing when he used circumstances and events to crafted us into a work of art He loves and cherishes.

Idols can only take and never give

Are you working for what you already have?
In Isaiah 43-45, God reminds His people that He is more powerful all the great armies of the world and their so-called "gods." Perhaps we can take comfort that this same God has already given us a place next to Himself (Eph 2:6) . Our "gods" of power and ambition are meaningless, because we already have the ear of the only true and living God.

Life Follows Christ
Isaiah 35 paints a uniquely beautiful picture of redemption. In the first two verses we read of the desert rejoicing in blooms of life as the Messiah strolls through. These verses speak not only to a day of topographical changes, but also to the life Jesus Christ can bring to the deserts of our lives. What dry and lifeless places in your life would you like to see blossom at the touch of Jesus Christ?

Welcome
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.
