John 6 – Believing Before Us and Believing For Us
PHall | July 27, 2013
Why is it the apostles who know who Jesus is still cannot grasp what it means? Why is it they believe, but cannot believe He can feed 5000 plus when in the days of Moses a million plus were fed everyday? I suggest it is because it is easier for us humans to believe in […]
John 6 – Free Food
PHall | July 27, 2013
People eat free food miraculously provided (6:8-11), and in the morning discover the source (Jesus) is gone (6:24). So they travel across the sea for more free food (6:26). Isn’t it amazing how hard people will work for free food? Reminds me of all the hours spent on the side of the road begging. Working […]
John 6 – Passover, Meal – Sea Miracle – Manna
PHall | July 27, 2013
John’s gospel often tells stories in two’s. Reading John 6, I wondered why is the sign of walking on water right in the middle of the story of feeding the 5000 and the Sermon on the Manna? Chronology cannot be the only answer for many chronological details are left out. So…the beginning of John 6 […]

Genesis 3:15 – Conflict and Victory or Just Continual Conflict?
PHall | July 26, 2013
Genesis 3:15 – I am wondering if I have totally missed what this verse is saying. Somehow I got the impression that the Seed (Jesus) would crush the serpent’s (Satan’s) head while the serpent (Satan) only bruised the heel of the Seed (Jesus). Just picture someone stomping on a snake to kill it, and that […]
Judges 6:1-10 – Praying through the Bible #70 – A Prayer that Got an “I Told You So”
PHall | July 25, 2013
Do you ever wish God verbally answered your prayers? Oh, that might get a little uncomfortable at times. Once again, Israel falls prey to their folly. The inspired author succinctly says, they “did what was evil in the sight of the LORD” (Judg 6.1). “Evil,” look it up: bad, malignant, giving pain, unhappiness, misery, hurtful, […]
Galatians – Miscellaneous Thoughts
PHall | July 24, 2013
I keep noticing I am not as scholarly as others. For example, Galatians has been called “The Magna Charta of spiritual emancipation.” That sure sounds more scholarly than my description of Galatians – “The Cliff Notes Version of Romans.” Galatians is as biographical as Paul’s conversion and ministry in Acts; as personal in his defense […]
