If you must perform good works...


Christians reconcile James and Paul by understanding that true faith produces good works (James 2, Eph 2). Yet today, “works” are often reduced to worship, recruitment, or politics—far from James’ call to care for those in need. So, how does your faith show up in action?

Prove me wrong, or just eat cookies


 Christians seem to take great pride and pleasure in scoring verbal 'wins' and in 'owning' their competition. When give the same opportunity, Paul refuses to engage in debate and instead supports another preacher who seems to be gaining in popularity (1 Co 3:1-9).  Do you look for 'spiritual fights' or do you follow Jesus's example of seeking peace?

Demoniz-er


Christians seem to 'demonize' each other even though we know that God loves all of us the same way and to the same degree (Titus 2:11). Who do you find yourself 'demonizing' or condemning as excluded from God's love?

Shopping for the gospel of your dreams

 

Although we all talk about the 'Good News' or 'gospel' (2 Thes 2:14), it seems like Christians define the gospel as a political affiliation, a set of beliefs, or even a theological position. We all point to the grace afforded us by Jesus Christ, but is it more than just a 'fire escape/' Could the gospel be more than we ever thought it could be? What do you believe the gospel is?

Don't offend Hank


Jesus warned that causing harm to “little ones” who believe in Him, whether children (Matthew 18) or the vulnerable (Luke 17), would bring severe judgment, worse than drowning with a millstone. Maybe Christians should take care not to offend anyone through words, actions, or systemic behavior.

Offenses come


Jesus warned that offenses are inevitable (Luke 17), and as sinners, we both cause and endure them. As Christians, we must reflect on how our words, actions, and systems may harm others—especially the vulnerable. How do you protect the “little ones” from stumbling through your influence

Protected?


 Like many modern Christians, the ancient Israelites became convinced that God was obligated to provide divine protection. (Ez 22:1-12). Just as Ezekiel warned Israel that they could not manipulate God, we should remember that God may also require an accounting from the Church. How are living out Christ's commands to love God and to love your neighbor?

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.
