Biblical truth standing on its spiritual head to get our eternal attention.

Perryism – If you haven’t said, “I’m sorry” lately, then: 1) you haven’t done anything wrong; 2) or you are still doing something wrong; 3) or there is something wrong with you.

Genesis 32-33 – Praying through the Bible #18 – A Prayer of Prepared Dependence

| January 18, 2013

I need to be honest about two truths. First, I often feel inadequate in helping others when all I can do is pray. Then I spiritually flog myself for my unfaith. Am I more powerful than He who hears my prayers? Am I more loving and compassionate? Friends, there is nothing inadequate about prayer. Second, […]

Genesis 29-30 – Praying through the Bible #17 – A Prayer of “Lovelessness”

| January 17, 2013

Leah’s story is the story of many women. If single, accept it’s better to be alone and unmarried, than married and alone. Leah is alone but married. Happiness is easier to find by yourself than despite someone else. If single and pregnant, don’t think “doing the right thing” equals getting married. Years ago, such might […]

Genesis 4:1-15 – Praying through the Bible #2 – A Prayer of a Failure

| January 16, 2013

Cain is a failure. Examining Cain’s sins (Gn 4), we see the 1st and 2nd great commands broken (Mt 22.36-40). All of life and every life, from the very beginning to the end of life on earth, are summed up in these two great loves: Loving God by being a faith worshipper (Gn 4.3-5; Heb […]

Perryism – Many arguments result from protecting positions instead of protecting scripture; our purpose is changing their positions, instead of scripture changing everyone’s lives.

Genesis 28:10-22 – Praying through the Bible #16 – A Prayer of Hostage Taking

| January 15, 2013

Are we holding ourselves hostage? A hostage is someone held captive only to be released if certain demands are met. Our demands are our prayers. If met and answered, then we will release ourselves to the authorities, God (Gn 28). “Jacob’s Ladder” is one of the most amazing, unique and enigmatic scenes in the Bible. […]

Genesis 26 – Praying through the Bible #15 – A Prayer of Peace

| January 14, 2013

Normally, people want peace. Normal people want peace. “If possible, be at peace with everyone” (Rom 12.18). “If possible” are comforting words. How we obtain peace determines future peace, including rejoining peace breakers. Both false and true solutions are sought, and a few endure turning the other meek cheek. In Genesis 26, Isaac shows meekness […]

Perryism – Evolution Apes Creation

Perryism – It is certain we live in an uncertain world so make certain your faith is not uncertain.

Luke 1:3-4 (HCSB) 3 It also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in an orderly sequence, most honorable Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed. John 17:7-8 (HCSB) 7 Now they know that all […]
