James 3:8-10 – For the Modern Reader
PHall | November 7, 2011
Perryism – The book of James for Modern Readers #3 – But no man can tame the keyboard. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. We praise our Lord and Father with it, and we curse men who are made in God’s likeness with it. Praising and cursing come out of the same keyboard. […]

Colossians 3:8 – But Now
PHall | November 3, 2011
“But now” suggests that possibly a practical application is that with young Christians you begin with the sins of the flesh and then work up to other sins. These are those other sins which is seen in Paul’s language, “But now you must also put away” (3:8). “Now you” is emphasized in the Greek to […]
Colossians 3:5-9 – A Better Class of Sinners?
PHall | November 3, 2011
Having clothed yourself with Christ, do you feel superior to unbelievers? Admitting Christians still sin, are you in a “better class” of sinners? In putting on Christ, we are to put away sins. It is a command. It is a command that is never quite being finished obeying because of our disobeying. Paul’s list here […]
1 Corinthians 9:19-23 – Church Growth
PHall | November 3, 2011

However, the first paragraph hooked me – as is fitting in good writing. What hooked me is not the last sentence showing success. So I will include only the first two sentences. “I started […]
1 Kings 17 – A Resurrection Story or Two
PHall | October 29, 2011
The very first resurrection story actually contains two resurrection stories – one literal, and the other foreshadowing it through symbolic means…and maybe even a third, and a fourth. Elijah is the one of the most glorified and powerful prophets in ancient Israel. Today among the Jews he is still celebrated every Passover with “Elijah’s cup” […]
John 3 – Born of Water and Spirit #2
PHall | October 29, 2011
Let’s look at John 3. What does it mean to be born of water? In trying to convince people of truth, the approach we take must, to be successful, be directed by the people to whom we are talking. Paul approaches the Gentiles (Acts 17) differently than the Jews (Acts 13), but all along preaching […]
