Perryism – What makes you a male is not what makes you a man. Males reproduce babies, but men reproduce men.

Numbers 16 – #48 Praying through the Bible – A Prayer for the Hard to Believe
PHall | March 26, 2013
“Learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself” (Eleanor Roosevelt). “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results” (Albert Einstein). Apparently Einstein knew the Israelites, but the Israelites did not know Eleanor. There are Biblical stories hard to fathom; so sensational […]
Numbers 13-14 – Praying through the Bible #47 – A Prayer to Keep Praying through the Bible
PHall | March 21, 2013
I am tired of writing “Praying through the Bible.” This is #47, and I have mostly enjoyed the creative challenge of crafting them and the needed prayer challenges. But the truth is I am getting bored. I am out of ideas here with Israel. They are driving me nuts and drying up my imaginative, wacky, […]
Numbers 12 – Praying through the Bible #46 – A Prayer that is Black and White
PHall | March 19, 2013
Not everything is black and white, but in this chapter everything is, even the unexpected irony. “Black and white” means clear contrasts, as distinctive as black type on white paper; as differentiated as humility and jealousy; as obvious as, well, black and white. The first contrast is between siblings. “Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses” (Nm […]
Numbers 11:4-23 – Praying through the Bible #45 – A Prayer from Being Pushed
PHall | March 19, 2013
“They (supply name) really push my buttons.” Whether it is intentionally, because of personality conflicts or personal experiences; some people easily annoy us. It’s like we have an “Annoy Me” button on our forehead with their name written on it. And just like a button on machine, we react. Sometimes the reaction is not immediate […]
Matthew 8:23-27 – A Living Analogy of Discipleship
PHall | March 15, 2013
Following Jesus is an important aspect of the story of Jesus calming the storm (Mt 8.23-27). Matthew places stories together that help to interpret each other, one setting up the other. Matthew uses a literary technique called a “catchword” to tie these themes. I sometimes refer to these as “power words.” A catchword is where […]
Numbers 11 – #44 Praying through the Bible – A Prayer Just Like Before
PHall | March 14, 2013
Why should we expect God to treat us any better, any differently, if we always treat Him the same shabby way? That question should shock us or shame us into revaluating deeply. Since praying through the Bible, has the level of our prayer life been raised, become more focused, less selfish, with less complaints, and […]
Perryism – To think God can be fooled is to think God is a fool which makes us the fool.

Perryism – When we interpret the Bible don’t interrupt the Holy Spirit
PHall | March 12, 2013
Do not hunt and peck Bible verses for topical sermons and then take the verses out of the original context. The original context is Holy Spirit inspired. This is harder than we realize and all of us are guilty, so much so it might be difficult for us to even pick out examples where we […]
