PHall | April 20, 2010
Sometimes the best response is a silent, sincere stare.

John 11 – The Death of a Loved One – The Opportunities of Pain (Sermon)
PHall | April 18, 2010
The below account is courtesy of Robert Turner: This story came right out of the heart of my native Kentucky, and I may have scooped Joe Creason with it. A well-known preacher of the past generation was hurriedly called to preach the funeral of one of two brothers. He had known the two men well […]
John 11:35 – The Problem of Pain for God
PHall | April 18, 2010
One of the wondrous revelations within John 11 is that the problem of pain is not just a problem for mankind. It is a problem for God. Does that strange at best, or at worst, blasphemous? If so we are missing the reality behind the relationships which are filled with pain not just for the […]
2 Peter 1:5-7 – A Most Difficult Virtue
PHall | April 17, 2010
It appears that there is a virtue that is very difficult to obtain and retain while acquiring other equally needed virtues. That is part of the paradox of this spiritual quality. It is needed to attain other qualities, but those other qualities might remove the foundational virtue and thereby remove the added ones also. Maybe […]
Romans 1:16-17 – Romans 14:1-23 – Thematic Echoes
PHall | April 15, 2010
Romans 1:16-17 NASB (16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. (17) For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS […]
Philippians 1:15-17 – Chiasm
PHall | April 15, 2010
Philippians 1:15-17 NASB (15) Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; (16) the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; (17) the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, […]
John 11 – The Death of a Loved One – The Problem of Pain (Sermon)
PHall | April 15, 2010
No one told me about the pain and the suffering, about all the funerals. As a young man focusing on the supposed glories of becoming a preacher, never did I ever think of emotional and spiritual tribulations found at the bedside, in the hospital, at the funeral home, and by the graveside. If I had […]
Ephesians 4:19 – Less and Less from More and More
PHall | April 15, 2010
There is an emptiness that consumes. The mind is filled with futility. Understanding is darkened instead of enlightened. The heart is hardened. There is a new self created in the image of God. The mind is renewed within the spirit. Righteousness and holiness of the truth is created within. These two contrasting paragraphs summarize Ephesians […]
Romans 1:13 – Making Plans
PHall | March 22, 2010
“If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans” (Woody Allen). “Man makes plans . . . and God laughs” (Michael Chabon). “We plan, God laughs” (old Yiddish proverb). Even the Bible asserts such similar belief – Psalm 33:10 HCSB – He thwarts the plans of the peoples. That such is said […]
Romans 9:14 – May It Never Be
PHall | March 17, 2010
If an imperfect mind cannot explain the contradictions within the actions of those with likewise imperfect minds, what makes the imperfect mind think he can explain the pure actions of the perfect mind of God? The answer is that our imperfect minds cannot see the limitations of our own imperfect thinking. Too often we substitute […]
