Matthew 5:1-16 – How the Beatitudes Relates to Salt and Light
PHall | June 18, 2013
In becoming everything the world is not (i.e., the beatitudes), we become everything the world needs (i.e., salt and light).
Isaiah 38:6 – Hezekiah a Type of Christ
PHall | May 30, 2013
Although there is not scholarly consensus, and contrary to my previous conclusion, I now consider Hezekiah’s illness to be during the Assyrian siege, and not after the Deliverance of Jerusalem. When praying for his personal recovery, God’s answer is, “I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; I [...]
Matthew 8:18-34 – A Living Analogy of Discipleship
PHall | March 31, 2013
Disciples follow by first by being with and learning, and finally by imitating. 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, using a literary technique called a “catchword” to tie these themes [...]
Matthew 5:10-12 – A Christian in a Box?
PHall | March 30, 2013
In the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany, there is display called, “A Jew in a Glass Box” where he answers questions for a generation far removed from the guilt of the Holocaust, and far removed from knowing any or many Jews, meaning they are strangely close to the desired Final Solution. Only 200,000 Jewish Germans [...]
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 [...]

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.”
The Gospels – Which One Fits You?
PHall | January 23, 2013
Matthew is for those with a degree in Literature with a minor in Creative Writing. Mark is for those with ADD and ADHD; or a degree in Physical Education. Luke is for those with a degree in Liberal Arts with an emphasis on history and human development. John is for those with a degree in [...]
Mark 1:1; John 1:1
PHall | January 23, 2013
The gospel of Mark is part of the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Luke, and Mark. But his introduction is more like John’s than his fellow synoptists. And yet within those similarities, there are great differences. Matthew and Luke, both include lengthy human genealogies and birth stories. Neither Mark nor John introduce such interests. John begins with [...]
Matthew 7:12 – Golden Rule Hermeneutics
PHall | January 22, 2013
If you are the parent, teacher, boss or organization leader, isn’t its aggravating when you tell someone how you want and need something done, but they decide you didn’t really mean what you said so they change or ignore it? Plus, in everyday life, isn’t it frustrating when someone says you said something when you never did? I am responsible for [...]
Matthew 12 – How to Establish Authority
PHall | January 5, 2013
Matthew 12 makes a good study in how to establish authority. Three essential truths found within the text is that authority is found within Scripture; that scripture must be applied for it to have any meaning; and that truth can be found, understood and applied. You have the inherent command of the Sabbath to keep [...]
