Fill us up - with what?

Sometimes we spend much of our time recognizing sin and seeing its damaging effects. The Bible reminds us that we are to be filled with God's presence, especially his love (Eph 3:19). The more time we spend thinking of God's love and HIS great gift to us, the less time we have to dwell on the failures of sin. How much time will you spend this week meditating and thinking about God's love?

Nurturing the Fruit of the Spirit

While sound doctrine and strong knowledge of the Bible are important to Christians, we should remember that these are not what usually attracts others to Christ. We support our charity and desire for justice on the truths we find in scripture (Phil 1:9), but it is the evidence of Christ in us that others find attractive. Can you think of a time when winning an argument cost a friendship?

Too desperate to pray

When we find ourselves in times of anguish and desperation, our words may fail us. God knows what we need before we ask and He gives us His Holy Spirit to speak the words we cannot Rom 8:26-30. We all experience pain and desperation, but we don't need to fear these times because we have a voice, even if we have trouble hearing it.

What does Christ treasure?

It's easy to let our failures and shortcomings discourage us.Paul knew that and encouraged the early church (and us) by reminding us that Christ considers Christians His great inheritance. We might do well to remember that He treasures us and values who we are, even when we fail Him and ourselves. Can you see yourself as someone Christ treasures?

Abraham's faith was counted as rightousness

In Romans 4, Paul asserts that Abraham was justified by faith. Paul's argument stems from the blessing given to Abraham BEFORE Abraham actually obeyed God. We can take great comfort that we, like Abraham, receive God's salvation by faith alone. Even those who claim salvation by grace might find themselves trusting in their own works. What do you trust in for your soul's salvation?

What was Paul thankful for?

Paul describes himself as "bound to give thanks," in 2 Thessalonians 1:3. The reason for Paul's thanks shows us what he valued or cared about. Paul was thankful to have faithful fellow believers, who were growing in their faith. What do you find yourself most often giving thanks for?

Maybe you should ask for help

Isaiah 56 describes a people who trust God, even though they weren't part of "His people." One way the strangers please God is by keeping His Sabbath, which was a way of demonstrating faith that God is the true provider of all that we have. What can you trust to God's provision today?

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.
