PHall | March 30, 2022
What if the necessity of the existence of true theology concerning God’s “plural oneness” is less ivory tower and more kitchen table gospel? Let’s argue the opposite.

A “Better” Argument Against Instrumental Music
PHall | March 29, 2022
A “Better” Argument Against Instrumental Music Despite history showing instrumental music was not part of worshiping God for the majority of worship in “The Way”, and despite the hermeneutical arguments concerning silence and exclusion, neither way is probably the the strongest argument against instrumental music in worship.

Mark 11:20-25 – A Colorful Coversation
PHall | March 15, 2022
A Colorful Conversation Once upon a time (to protect the innocent and guilty), I was some place I belonged, but new, so the neighbor didn’t know it was OK. More accurately his dogs did not think it was OK. His dogs barked, alarming him, so he stood outside in his yard watching me. There […]
Acts 28: 30-31 – Evangelistic Hospitality
PHall | March 13, 2022
Evangelistic Hospitality The last thing inspiration teaches us is that, even in prison, Paul taught the gospel by practicing hospitality. “Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house.
