Ephesians 2.15 – Re-creation
PHall | November 21, 2012
In reading Ephesians, and specifically 2.11-16 I see re-creation (2.15) in reversing the creation of account. In Genesis man is one (Gn 1), then two (Gn 2), then divided by sin (Gn 3). In Ephesians we have the removal of division by law (2.15) of two groups (2.15) making one man (2.15).
John 13:1 – Agape Love
PHall | November 20, 2012
If agape love is “to seek the best” then love is 1) a purposed action; 2) based upon divine knowledge that discriminates between bad from good and good from best; 3) that separates and sacrifices self from the other for the other. It is a verb based upon a noun; an outward action founded upon […]
Humor – A Biblical Perspective on the Closing of Hostess
PHall | November 16, 2012
A Biblical perspective on the closing of Hostess – “In a twinkie of an eye, at the last crumpet, and the sound of the Ding Dong, the imperishable foods shall change us as we all clothe ourselves with bigger clothes, and desserts have been swallowed up in victory.” ( 1 Cor 15.52-54) On a serious […]
Matthew 5.3-12 – The Norms of the Kingdom
PHall | November 16, 2012
D. A. Carson refers to the Beatitudes as “the norms of the kingdom” (Carson, p.16). If they are the “norms” then they should only be extraordinary to those not in the kingdom. If any Christian were asked, “Do you pray?” the answer would be, “Of course” and that should be expected. If asked, “Do you […]

The Purpose of the OT
PHall | November 15, 2012
Thought Questions from Class on the Purpose of the OT: 1) Which came first, the OT or NT? (don’t think obvious) 2) Why not begin with the NT? 3) Is the OT mainly stories (narrative) with commands or commands with stories (narrative)? 4) Why do we (or do we) learn better from stories than commands?
Matthew 5.3 – Blessed are the Poor…In Spirit
PHall | November 14, 2012
Being rich Americans we are quick to point out that being “poor in spirit” does not mean financially poor. Maybe too quick. We forget that in the Jewish minds of the first century, material blessings equate spiritual blessings – God pays for our righteousness in coin. So when Jesus says “blessed are the poor in […]

Humor – Not So Spiritual Thoughts When Fasting
PHall | November 13, 2012
Not So Spiritual Thoughts when Fasting: 1) Eating as much as I can before midnight before the fast is not cheating, it’s preparing; 2) If I sleep in late and go to bed early, that’s less time I have to think about food; 3) It’s two hours before the midnight end of the fast, but […]
