The Spiritman Update can be read like a devotional. It follows the comics panel by panel mixed with commentary from the creators and a dose of scripture.

Cameron snipes at Martin with a question from behind. Martin presses the issue... "How well do you know God?"
"When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who comes into the world.” Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself."
John 6:14-15 WMB

The words belong to Cameron but are associated with the actions in this panel. We learn the identity of the creature who fired an arrow from behind the veil of fog a couple of panels back.
"Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions."
Matthew 19:21-23 WMB

Chelsea is done with the sermon. She wants answers. The problem Martin has is finding the right words to explain a reality that Chelsea is just beginning to experience but doesn't understand. They need to find a shared experience.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."
Colossians 1:15 WMB

Another demonic foe steps out of the fog to challenge Spiritman. This one is a behemoth... machine-like... how will Spiritman deal with this creature?
"See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox. Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly."
Job 40:15-16 WMB

It's two against one. Go, Martin, Go! I think Chelsea might slug him.
"Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder."
James 2:18-19 WMB

Opposition... the behemoth, the archer, and the half skeleton guy with swords. It doesn't look easy for Spiritman.
"Enter in by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in by it. How the gate is narrow and the way is restricted that leads to life!"
Matthew 7:13-14 WMB
