Perryism – Be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, and slow to hit the reply button (1:19).
2 Kings 2:11-12 – Elijah’s Chariot? Maybe Not
PHall | November 6, 2011
Someone pointed out to me something I had never seen before and that is that we assume Elijah departed in a chariot. The text doesn’t actually say that (2 Kings 2:11-12). The text says a chariot of fire separated the two prophets and that Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
2 Kings 1:4 – NASB vs. HCSB vs. ESV

2 Kings 1:4 NASB “Now therefore thus says the LORD, ‘You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’” Then Elijah departed. 2 Kings 1:4 HCSB Therefore, this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not get up from your sickbed — you will certainly die.’ […]

These are those other sins which is seen in Paul’s language, “But now you must also put away” (3:8). “Now you” is emphasized in the Greek to […]
Colossians 3:5-9 – A Better Class of Sinners?
PHall | November 3, 2011
Having clothed yourself with Christ, do you feel superior to unbelievers? Admitting Christians still sin, are you in a “better class” of sinners? In putting on Christ, we are to put away sins. It is a command. It is a command that is never quite being finished obeying because of our disobeying. Paul’s list here […]
1 Corinthians 9:19-23 – Church Growth
PHall | November 3, 2011
I just finished reading an article on church growth. Nothing unscriptural in this particular article although it focuses on generic themes. However, the first paragraph hooked me – as is fitting in good writing. What hooked me is not the last sentence showing success. So I will include only the first two sentences. “I started […]
