Don’t read the Bible to fill in the blanks in a class book; read to fill in the holes in your life.

John 18:10-11,36 – Fighting for the Kingdom the Wrong Way
PHall | December 7, 2013
Jesus rebuked Peter for cutting off the ear of Malchus. Jesus instructs Pilate that if His kingdom was of this world, His disciples would fight; just like Peter had done (Jn.18).Good intentions do not make for kingdom actions. Fight like the world by words or actions is not fighting for the kingdom.
John 17 – An Analogy of Unity
PHall | December 5, 2013
Unity – Unity in the Bible is both a beginning point, and a goal; both the foundation of fellowship and the result (John 17). We will always have differences because we are all in different phases of maturity. Doctrinal differences are never glorified, but don’t need to destroy. The only time differences are called a […]
2 Corinthians 10:12 – Comparing Ourselves to Others by Labeling
PHall | December 5, 2013
Something to consider. Some banter includes namecalling, calling others legalists or liberals to disparage and distance the others from themselves. I’ve been called both. What all such labeling does is to label you in contrast to them. Didn’t the Holy Spirit warn us against comparing ourselves to others to commend ourselves (2 Cor.10:12)? Something to […]
1 Timothy 1:15 – My Sin
PHall | December 5, 2013
By saying, “My sin is not as bad as your sin,” I become self-righteous. By saying, “If you don’t condemn my sin, I won’t condemn your sin” I become self-protective. By saying, “I can live in my sin, but you can’t live in yours,” I become hypocritical. By saying, “All sin is equal so I […]
John 18 – I Am; I Am Not
PHall | December 5, 2013
Interesting contrast: When Jesus answers the question “Who are you looking for?” and they say, “Jesus the Nazarene”, He confesses “I Am” (lit., Jn.18.5-8). The soldiers step back and fall down to the ground. They understand and in their own awkward, fearful way, confess. When Peter is questioned, “You aren’t one of this man’s disciples […]
Old Testament – Greatest Old Testament Scholar
PHall | November 23, 2013
Rabbi Yeshua, commonly known as Jesus, is the greatest scholar of the Old Testament or Tanakh. This neglected scholar believed and taught that Adam and Eve were real human beings, made “in the beginning” (Mt.19.4), not evolved, or created millions of years later, giving historical credence to the first book of the Bible called Genesis […]
Genesis 3; John 3 – Two “Serpents”
PHall | November 22, 2013
Genesis 3 and John 3 – Satan in disguise as a serpent brings death to the world by belief in a lie. Jesus in symbol of a serpent brings life to the world by belief in the truth: “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be […]
Hebrews 10:24-25 – Becoming an Arena of Supporters
PHall | November 22, 2013
This exhortation to not forsake our assembling but to encourage one another to love and good deeds leads to chapter 11 where we have “Heroes of Faith” who are in 12:1 a “great cloud of witnesses (that) surround us.” The imagery is historical and refers to a stadium full of supporters cheering on the participants.
