Back in June 2008, I tried my hand at cartooning and came up with a strip called Umbrella. It depicts a well-meaning pastor trying to shield his congregation from grace teachings, which he considers to be heretic. He wants to prevent sin from entering the camp, but due to his veiled and law-based mind, actually ends up disqualifying his flock from receiving God's blessings instead.
Well, thanks to fellow grace embracer Peter Sze, I have been made aware of a cartoonist by the name of Mick Mooney who maintains a site called Searching For Grace (hence the title of today's blog entry).
In his cartoon series, Mick follows the adventures of John who comes from a law-based church of about 200 members. He is searching for grace but Moses, his pastor, is more interested in church growth success.
(I wonder if the names chosen by him are deliberate because John comes
from the word Johan, which means grace in Hebrew, while Moses represents the Old Covenant).My personal favourites are the ones entitled Spiritual Authority and and Church Orientation because they remind me of the previous youth pastor of my church :-)
Oh by the way, you can be a Searching For Grace fan on Facebook, and Mick is my 555th Facebook friend.

Hi Malcolm,
Thanks for sharing my comic on your blog. Hey it's interesting that '5' is the biblical number of grace, and i'm your 555th friend on facebook! That's kind of cool.
Blue skies,
Mick
Hi Mick
Your comics are really enjoyable and strike a chord with many of us grace believers.
Say, do you happen to have a copy of Ps Prince's Destined To Reign or the devotional?
If not, maybe I could send one of each along to you :-)
