Perryism – The only ingredient in ice is water; but water without the right conditions is not ice. The only ingredient in Christianity is love; but love without God’s conditions is not Christianity.

Perryism – Life out of a dead body, freedom out of slavery, and return out of exile – the story of the children of Israel is the story of today’s children of God.

Exodus 32:1-14 – Praying through the Bible #35 – A Prayer that is a Puzzle
PHall | February 23, 2013
Pick up one piece in a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle, and what do you see? Nothing. Stare harder, and you imagine things that will later prove ridiculous or at least obviously wrong. There is only one way to know for sure, and two ways of doing this. First, (cheat?) look at the picture on the […]
Perryism – Unfortunately what others say about the Bible becomes the Bible to others unfortunately.
PHall | February 21, 2013
For those interested in chiasms, I purposely wrote this perryism chiastically: (A) Unfortunately; (B) what others say; (C) about the Bible; (C’) becomes the Bible (B’); to others (A’) unfortunately.
Exodus 22:22-26 – Praying through the Bible #34 – A Prayer that is a Cry
PHall | February 21, 2013
My son was mesmerized by a card with a picture that changed shapes when the card moved. Technically they are called “lenticular 3D holograms.” His brother playfully mocked, to which I replied, “Hey, I am fascinated by simple things too, after all, I am fascinated by you!” In the language of those “in the know,” […]
Exodus 18:13-26 – Praying through the Bible #33 – A Prayer that is Seeking Advice
PHall | February 20, 2013
Warning! Read Slowly – Praying to God is inquiring of God, and while we would never pray to a man to inquire of God, we could inquire of a man when we inquire of and pray to God. I had fun typing that! Tiresomely, from morning to evening (18.13,14), Israelites would surround Moses “to inquire […]
Luke 9:51-19:44 – The Journey to Jerusalem (Luke’s Unique Contributions)
PHall | February 19, 2013
In the Journey to Jerusalem (9.51-19:44), which Luke dwells on longer than the other synoptic biographers, there are 29 “simply priceless treasury of sayings, parables, and incidents unrecorded by any of the other three Gospel writers” (Explore the Book, J. Sidlow Baxter, v.5, p.234): Anger of John and James rebuked – 9.51-56 Plow simile to […]
Luke 16:13; Matthew 6:24 – Chiasm
PHall | February 19, 2013
Luke 16:13 (HCSB) A – No household slave can be the slave of two masters, B – since either he will hate one C – and love the other, C’ – or he will be devoted to one B’ – and despise the other. C’ – You can’t be slaves to both God and money.”
Exodus 17:8-16 – Praying through the Bible #32 – A Prayer that is Acted Out
PHall | February 18, 2013
Every day, Israel needs God, for provisions and protection. The Amalekites “came and fought against Israel” (Ex 17.8). This is their first war. On the time-line of their journey, this is probably within the first few months (16.1). Israel is still a slave-like nation in mentality and ability (13.17). Once again God saves in a […]
Exodus 17:1-7 – Praying through the Bible #31 – A Prayer from Testing
PHall | February 16, 2013
Nowadays they don’t stone the prophets, they just fire the preachers. That “Perryism” is brought to you courtesy of a preacher who has been fired…and thankful he didn’t get stoned. David Tant, “comforted” me saying, “No preacher is worth his salt, who hasn’t been fired.” While surely hyperbole, there is truth. In Exodus 17.4, Moses […]
