PHall | May 6, 2014
To be saved hear, believe, repent, confess and be baptized; then keep confessing, keep repenting, keep believing, and keep hearing to stay saved.

Acts – Reverse the Process
PHall | April 17, 2014
When congregations make decisions, especially about elders, it is important to have a consensus, as in Acts 6 when choosing servants. Too often, decisions are blocked by a minority, one or two or a few, who object not on scriptural grounds but for personal ones. The objection might even be disguised as being scriptural. And […]
Acts 26:7 – The Ten Lost Tribes?
PHall | April 12, 2014
The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel? Ever hear of them? All kinds of theories, but this serves as an example of how people ignore the Bible in order to create theories to find followers. Plus, mysteries are always more intriguing than boring realities. So let’s make the 10 tribes disappear. Supposedly all the Northern Tribes […]
Acts 11 – Imitating the Pharisaic, Judaizing Christians is Good
PHall | March 30, 2014
We need to be more like some of the Pharisaic Judaizing Christians. Wait, what? In Acts 11 they complained about Peter associating with uncircumcised Gentiles. Then Peter explained to them what he had learned from God. “When they heard this they became silent. Then they glorified God” (Acts 11:18). These Pharisaic Judaizing Christians gave up […]
Acts 28 – Is Acts Unfinished?
PHall | March 28, 2014
The book of Acts seems unfinished, ending with Paul in prison. Leithart argues that the last quarter of Acts is a death and resurrection motif with Paul’s surviving the shipwreck a type of resurrection. According to Frank Viola, ancient histographers would strive to keep companion books the same length. Connecting this to Leithart’s theory, Viola […]
Acts 17:22 – A Perspective on Pagans
PHall | March 28, 2014
A Perspective on Pagans – Pagans are very religious, just ask Paul (Acts 17:22). While we enlightened Westerners might look down on such superstitions, and rightly call them “ignorant” (Acts 17:23), being without knowledge is not the same as refusing knowledge. Maybe the pagans are smarter than some other groups, for at least they acknowledge […]
Acts 20:35 – More Blessed to Give Than To Receive
PHall | March 6, 2014
Throughout Acts 20:18-35 is the concept that grace involves giving. Paul reminds the elders, “In every way I’ve shown you that by laboring like this, it is necessary to help the weak…” (20:35). Paul’s preaching without pay is an analogy of grace. Paul gives freely the message of grace because Jesus gave freely of His […]
Acts 8:3 – Saul the Jihadist?
PHall | March 6, 2014
If Saul of Tarsus were alive today, he would be committing jihad in the name of Yahweh (Jn.16:2; Act 8:3). And if he were converted today, we would feel the same way about him as the disciples in Jerusalem (Acts 9:26). Grace not only converts, Grace accepts those converted. Acts 8:1 (HCSB) Saul agreed with putting […]
Acts 20:28-35 – Being a Stumbling Block Paying the Preacher
PHall | February 27, 2014
Acts 20:28-35 – It has been suggested that Paul moves somewhat abruptly from false doctrine to filthy lucre. Possibly the connection is that often money is the motive for false teaching. If, so then what a warning to every paid preacher! But wait, there is a warning here to churches too. Can a church (i.e., […]
Acts 2 – Pentecost and Christmas
PHall | December 26, 2013
Some Christians and churches will object to using Christmas as a time to speak about Christ and His birth, since, we do not know on what date Jesus was born. Therefore some will either ignore the opportunity or condemn the observance either religiously or even secularly. Just a thought, Peter and the rest of the […]
