1 Samuel 18:25 – Death by Proxy
PHall | July 26, 2011
Did you ever notice that what David did to Uriah (2 Sam.11.14-17), Saul tried to do to him? (1 Sam.18.25). Makes me wonder how common this practice was among kings. Death by proxy.

PHall | July 26, 2011

1 Samuel 1:15 – Puns
PHall | July 26, 2011
“Please tell me you meant that” I will say after hearing a pun. I hear the pun, but that does not mean they mean it. Often they are not wise to their own wisecrack. Puns, witticisms, and such are not the inventions of Americans with a warped sense of humor. These puns and plays on […]
Colossians 1:2 – Brethren
PHall | July 23, 2011
Brethren. Do we comprehend and appreciate the historical depth and spiritual ramifications of this word? Paul used this term over one hundred times in his writings (i.e., Col.1:2). A word that often chosen must be significant. And remember, ultimately, God through His Holy Spirit, is behind every word written by inspiration. The Jews used the […]
Colossians 1:1 – By The Will of God
PHall | July 23, 2011
Paul claiming that he is, “an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s will” is not simply a throw-away line in introducing himself to the Colossians who he has never met (1.4). Neither is it simply a title of superior rank. There is no rising in ranks in Christianity, just becoming what we are not by […]
The Bible and Social Justice
PHall | July 19, 2011
A new study suggests that reading the Bible more often leads to a more active view on “social justice.” I agree, Christians should be concerned about poverty, equality and justice. However the difference between liberals and conservatives politically is not a regard or disregard for social justice, contrary to how it is pushed in the […]
Exodus 2 – God’s Providence
PHall | July 17, 2011
Could you imagine Osama bin Laden adopting a Jew? Or how about Hiter adopting a Jew? If not, then marvel at God’s providence wherein Pharaoh allowed his daughter to adopt a little Hebrew boy.
Acts 4:36 – What Would Your Nickname Be?
PHall | July 17, 2011
Nicknames can be uplifting, fun or derisive. Some, called diminutives, are simply altered forms of formal names – Nick is a nickname short for Nicolas. Perry is short for Perrynoid. Parents often give nicknames to their children…and no I will not embarrass mine…at least this time. Sports are filled with nicknames – Do you know […]
