The Semi-Private Alter Call
Pastor Moses, although fully aware he is bending the truth when he says that no one is looking around during the alter call time, seems to be perfectly at ease with his little white lie.
John is not sure if those who raise their hand, only to open their eyes and find Eric standing next to them with a pen and paper wanting their contact details feel the same way.
Eric’s ‘Friendly’ Reminder
Eric loves to smack people with his favorite scripture “Faith without works is dead”, but John wonders if Eric has ever actually thought through what he is saying. After all, surely Eric can see that John does have ‘works‘ in his life, it’s just that John doesn’t always talk about them like Eric , but rather John chooses to talk about the greatness of Jesus and our faith in his finished work upon the cross.
Apparently, Eric isn’t sure that John does, in fact, have good works in his life. Yes, that’s right, Eric thinks it’s entirely possible John has no good works, nada, not even one. There is only one thing Eric is sure of, and that is, according to his super spiritual instinct, John is, well, Bogey Manned.
Regular Pastoral Duties
There’s no doubt Pastor Moses does do some spiritual things during his day, but what does he regularly do with the majority of his time? Well, I guess only Pastor Moses knows…
Note from Mick: What makes my comic strip funny (I hope, anyway) is in part due to the extreme silliness of Pastor Moses. This particular comic, for example, is not expressing how I think ‘pastors’ in general spend their time, but rather just how I feel Pastor Moses spends his time. It’s hard to explain, but the longer the comic goes on, the more the characters take on a life of their own. Pastor Moses has become far sillier than I first imagined him to be, but I feel that only makes him all the funnier a character
Super-Spiritualising Everything – Part 2
Eric is sure John has a bogey man in him, why else wouldn’t he be serving in church? John on the other hand simply wishes Eric would be open to listen to his thoughts about life, church and the gospel without immediately thinking he must be possessed by some spiritual bogey man.
Eric of course would never actaually listen to John’s thoughts, for he has been well indoctrinated to automatically believe that anyone who isn’t obsessed with Pastor Moses’ vision must certainly be filled with, well, bogey men.
Taking Spiritual Authority
John doesn’t serve in church, and Eric just can’t understand why. To Eric, allowing the Spirit to lead John to serve God outside the 1 hour religious church program on Sunday is just an impossibility.
Eric is convinced that anyone who doesn’t jump into to serving the church must be, to put it plainly, possessed by the bogey man of laziness… Hmmmm
The (Exaggerated) Anointing

Eric has heard so many stories about Pastor Moses and his anointing that he has somehow come to believe that ‘the anointing‘ can cause really bad things to happen to other people who say, or do, something negative to Pastor Moses.
The scary thing is that Eric actually seems kind of proud, happy even, that bad things happen to those who go against ‘the annointing’… John can’t help but wonder if Eric understands the concept of love at all.
The Ultimate Church Title
John is getting pretty tired of all this talk about titles in his church, but it seems Pastor Moses can’t get enough of it. He loves the whole concept behind titles for good reason, as he knows that he is at the top of the title pile, he has the ultimate title, and that gives him the ultimate control.
According to Pastor Moses ‘titles’ are like candy, and that’s good news indeed for him, for he is, after all, the candy man.
