The artist is the late Al Hartley,a born again Christian from 1967 until his 2003 death. He approached Archie publisher John Goldwater about this idea and Goldwater gave Hartley the approval on the condition that these comics were only to be sold in Christian bookstores. Did Al Hartley drew comics outside of the Archie spectrum for Spire?

They aren't part of my collection, so I must have read them at a friend's house or something. The end of each story had a moral/Bible verse, IIRC, and the character who narrated it was looking right at the reader. I had completely forgotten about this series until you mentioned it, RED!
