Perryism – If we applied the qualifications for preachers (2 Tim.2:14-16,22-25) as seriously as those for elders (1 Tim.3), we’d have fewer preachers and better churches.

2 Corinthians 11:14 – Halloween
PHall | October 25, 2012
Satan disguises himself as an angel of light for sinister purposes (2 Cor 11.14) and although Halloween is not specifically addressed in scripture I question the wisdom of the children of light disguising themselves as works of darkness, as witches, warlocks, and even Satan himself even for frivolous purposes.
Micah 7 – Who is Like Yahweh? (Finding Jesus)
PHall | October 20, 2012
Micah means, “Who is like Yahweh?” The answer is “no one,” and that includes a surprise “Someone” “Who is like Yahweh” because He is Yahweh in the flesh. Jesus is “God with us” (Mt.1:23). Finding Jesus in Micah is easy because Matthew points the way: Matthew 2:6 (HCSB) And you, Bethlehem, in the land of […]
Matthew 5:3-10 – The Beatitudes to Live Like God
PHall | October 9, 2012
Focusing on God’s attributes should not lead to a theoretical, impractical, ivory tower, sitting in the balcony Christianity. As seen in Paul (i.e., Romans, Colossians), theology precedes practical living as the foundation precedes the walls and roof. Today’s Christians want “how to” sermons and books with step by step instructions. “Give me books on finances, […]
Matthew 5:3-10 – The Beatitudes as Attributes of God
PHall | October 8, 2012
Did you ever wonder why the Sermon on the Mount begins with these Beatitudes? Jesus could have said, “Blessed are those who are dead in sin, for they will be forgiven.” “Blessed are those who have no hope, for they will be given life.” “Blessed are those who have been defeated and beaten down, for […]
Acts 2 – Tongue Speaking: How, Why, and What Is Happening Here
PHall | October 3, 2012
The tongue speaking in Acts 2: (1) Gains attention (2:5-7); (2) Amazes people (2:7); (3) Equates all people (2:6-11; 2:17-8); (4) Brings glory to God (2:11,19); (5) Fulfills prophecy (Acts 2:16); and (6) Leads to salvation (2:21,38). That is the purpose of plain, non-miraculous, Bible preaching today: (1) To preach we must gain people’s attention […]
Acts 20:7 – Preach or Teach?
PHall | October 1, 2012
In Acts 20:7 when Luke discusses Paul speaking, the Greek is dialegomai suggesting Paul’s “preaching” (KJV) is more like our “teaching.” We can learn the meaning of a word both through its denotative and connotative definitions. First, look up dialegomai in a lexicon and it is denotatively defined as “to say thoroughly” (Mickelson) and “1. to […]
1 John 4:1 – Testing Everything
PHall | September 29, 2012
The core of any belief, if right, can withstand the interpretation of any verse, if right. The conflict comes when they contradict. The question then becomes, “Is my core belief wrong?” or “Is my interpretation of this verse wrong?” To casually throw off our interpretation without reinvestigating our core is as fruitless as to casually […]
Matthew 5-7 – A Righteous Movement
PHall | September 27, 2012
Jesus is beginning more than a religious movement; He is laying the foundation for a righteous movement. Reaching backwards to Judaism and forwards to Christianity His words still move more than any others, transforming the way people think and act. Religious movements trying to transform Christianity often focus as much on forms as do those […]
Matthew 5-7 – Religious People Today and Yesterday’s Pharisees
PHall | September 26, 2012
Religious people love impugning the Pharisees for three reasons. One, it is universally agreed that the Pharisees were wrong, which makes their denouncement both unanimous and safe. Two, the sins of the Pharisees are overtly obvious to us today, making them easy targets for denunciation. Three, never are we guilty of the same misguided attitudes, […]
