Genesis 2:21-22; 15:12 – Bad Hermeneutics and Bad Humor

| 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 [...]

Perryisms – Thanksgiving

| November 26, 2010

1. “The official dress code for Thanksgiving should be stretch pants.” To which a friend replied, “I guess stretch pants could also be called turkey dressing.” 2. ThanksGIVING is in the kitchen. Giving of THANKS is at the table. 3. Thanksgiving is where the turkey is not the only thing stuffed.

Matthew 7:12 – A Kind of Humor on Being Kind

| August 10, 2010

Here is a little word play on the Golden Rule – To respond in kind means to be mean to the mean and be not kind. To use kindness as our mean is to respond in kindness which means to be kind to the mean. I mean to be kind that is the kind of [...]

Humor – Poem – My Wife Is Like An Old Recliner

| August 9, 2010

My wife is like an old recliner, No offense because nothing is finer. It might be old, stained and rickety, But no new model is good for me. Years together make a perfect fit, Something young love cannot quite yet get. But when my good wife this poem shall read, There are parts which she [...]

Perryism – An Alarming Clock?

| May 5, 2010

An alarm clock is, well, so alarming and violent. I prefer a non-committal, co-dependent clock – in a hushed, dulcet voice it calmly says, “it might be time to get up, but only if you want to.” Proverbs 27:14 HCSB  If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will [...]

Hebrews – Food

| February 26, 2010

Many people have food allergies, but the Bible has food…analogies.  Yes, this little article might be hard to swallow, but chew on its truths for a little while and you will be able to stomach the puns.

NASCAR

| September 18, 2009

I’m new to North Carolina, and being a preacher I’m interested in the various religions of my neighbors.  I’ve learned there are Baptists, Catholics, more Baptists, Moravians, more Baptists, and a religion I’ve never heard of – NASCAR.   Not many people know that NASCAR is an acronym: National Association for Stock Car Auto Religion. Personally, [...]

Men Know Your Place

| September 18, 2009

Gentlemen, we need to learn to be real men.  Gentlemen, we need to know our place.  If we don’t know our place in life, we will be filled with delusions and we will not be very happy – and the ladies in our lives will not be happy either.  And if they ain’t happy, nobody [...]

Dinner “Compliments”

| September 18, 2009

Dinner “Compliments:” I am a firm believer in complimenting my wife’s cooking.  She is great.  For those of you who have kitchen-challenged wives and mothers, I want to help you find something positive to say.  Here’s a list of compliments: My compliments to the chef…Boyardee (which is redneck for “boy are these” good!) Thanks for [...]

1 Peter 3:7 – Men and Women Are Different

| September 18, 2009

            Men are different from women.  To us, this is nothing innovative, nor surprising, shocking or controversial.  Emotionally, mentally, physically, and biologically the sexes are different.  Ironically, our commonality is our dissimilarity.  Neither sex is inferior or superior to the other…just oddly opposite.  Poles apart like the North Pole and the South Pole. The poles [...]
