Perryism – Christ’s Way is about constancy and change. Heresy comes when we change what must stay constant; and cheap grace comes when we keep constant what must change.

1 Samuel 16:1-13 – Praying through the Bible #92 – A Prayer that Leads to Deception
PHall | October 1, 2013
My wife and I received an invitation from friends to join them in traveling to a foreign country to preach and teach. Having traveled to Jamaica, South America, and the Philippines, this would not be my first evangelistic trip overseas. This time though, was different. Preaching the gospel is illegal. Christians there meet secretively. Applying […]
Acts 8:3 – Ravaging the Church
PHall | September 27, 2013
In Acts 8:3, Paul “ravaged” the church. Some versions read, “destroyed.” The word lumainomai (used only here) is more than physical damage. It means to treat shamefully, to affix a stigma, to treat as unholy, to dishonor. Paul’s actions were holy in his eyes, unknowingly fulfilling the prophecy of John 16:2 (HCSB) “They will ban […]
Genesis through Revelation in 3 Sentences
PHall | September 26, 2013
God in heaven created mankind to rule the earth, and then Satan enters the earth, mankind sins, and is cursed by the earth being cursed and over-ruling mankind. Satan now rules the earth. Jesus comes to earth to remove the curse of man’s sin and remove the curse on the earth by defeating the ruler […]
1 Samuel 15 – Praying through the Bible #91 – A Prayer that Feels God’s Pain
PHall | September 26, 2013
Are we so tuned in to God, that God’s pain fills our prayers? Such is Samuel in his connection with His creator. Such is our goal, even when the result is anger. Again Saul disobeys and disappoints. I pause to self-reflect. God’s order to Saul I would find difficult to obey; but the difficult part […]
1 Samuel 14 – Praying through the Bible #90 – A Prayer to Find Someone to Blame
PHall | September 25, 2013
Arrogance blinds so that everything good is about us, and nothing bad ever is. Blame is the name of the game, and the finger always points outwardly. Saul’s story is abrupt and kinetic at the beginning, and as incoherent as his mind. One mistake of Saul is he makes everyone abide by his rash vow […]
Perryism – We assemble, to better resemble; we say a prayer, in the name we share; we praise in song, forgiven of all wrong; we study God’s word, His promise we’ve heard; we observe communion, as His reunion; we contribute, His grace to distribute; we share love, as children from above; we here leave, to show the world we believe.

1 Samuel 12 – Praying through the Bible #89 – A Prayer of Non-judgmental Judgment
PHall | September 17, 2013
I confess, reading 1 Samuel 12 makes me uncomfortable. I wonder if my first reaction, a natural reaction, even a spiritual reaction, is not God’s reaction. It makes me question what I think is black and white; and makes me wonder if I am too easily judgmental. Samuel is “retiring.” So he asks all of […]
John 9;11 – Does God Treat Strangers Better than His Friends?
PHall | September 17, 2013
Jesus heals the blind man, a complete stranger, for the glory of God (Jn.9:3); and then does not heal his friend whom He loves, Lazarus, both for the glory of God (Jn.11:4) and because Jesus loves Lazarus, Martha and Mary (Jn.11:5-6). In the eyes of mere humans, Jesus treats the Blind man better than He […]
John 11:16; 20:24-25 – Thomas the Twin
PHall | September 14, 2013
Thomas the Twin – Always, I considered Thomas having the nickname, Didymus, simply meant he had a twin brother. And I wondered if his brother was a believer, even though not of the Twelve. But could there be another reason? Commenting on John 11:16, “Did St. John intend us to see any significance in this […]
