PHall | December 6, 2018
Lane-splitting is legal in California. That means a motorcycle can ride in between the cars in traffic if the pace is stopped or slow. The purpose is to alleviate traffic. BUT this is not about motorcycles so keep reading. Lane-splitting is illegal in other states according to their statutes. However, in some places it is […]

Hermeneutics – The Principle of “Share-ability”
PHall | November 11, 2018
An interpretation that the author and reader can share. (Heard this today listening to a lecture and thought it interesting. The point was to not introduce anything into the text the writer and reader wouldn’t be aware of and couldn’t share).
John 12:13,15
PHall | May 27, 2017
John quotes in 12:13,15 messianic prophecies which both the crowd and Jesus quote. Then John records, “His discIples did not understand these things at first” (John 12:16). I am constantly amazed at what the apostles did not know considering they had attended synagogue all their lives (yes that is an assumption based on their willingness […]

Three essential truths found within the text is: 1) Authority is found within Scripture; 2) Scripture must be applied for it to have any meaning; 3) Truth can be found, understood and applied.

2 Samuel 6 – Grace On Every Page
PHall | March 18, 2011
Grace is written on every page of the Bible. But blood is not. Grace is written in ways that blood does not need. The very breath we take is grace. God’s word breathed out through the Holy Spirit is grace. The breath Jesus exhaled declaring “it is finished” is grace. And God’s waiting breath, waiting […]
Three Time Periods
PHall | January 4, 2011
For every book in the Bible, there are at least three “time periods” – The past, the present and the future. The past is the history being recounted, because most if not all the books were written after the events being described. The present answers the questions as to why that book was originally written, […]
Genesis 2:21-22; 15:12 – Bad Hermeneutics and Bad Humor
PHall | December 22, 2010
God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. God caused Abram to fall into a deep sleep. While sleeping, God brought a wife to Adam. While Abram slept, “suddenly a terror and great darkness descended on him.” This is an example of where if you put two verses together that don’t belong, you can […]
Romans 7:14-25 – Dangerous Motivations for Studying
PHall | August 29, 2010
It is dangerous, even if necessary, to study a text because of the use or misuse of that text by others. The result is that instead of reacting to the text itself, we react to a person’s use or misuse of that text. That puts a person in between us and the text. That can […]
