Numbers 9-10 – Praying through the Bible #43 – A Prayer that is a GPS
PHall | March 12, 2013
The original GPS was actually a JPS, a Jewish Positioning System. Contrary to popular opinion, Israel did not wander around for 40 years because Moses refused to stop and ask for directions. Each move was directed by God using His GPS, a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. “The cloud covered […]
Numbers 6:22-27 – Praying through the Bible #42 – A Prayer that is a Blessing
PHall | March 8, 2013
When’s the last time you blessed someone, or received a blessing? Most likely it was after a sneeze. “God bless you” has several uncertain origins: 1) a violent sneeze could thrust your soul from your body; 2) sneezing expelled an evil spirit, blessings protect from its reentering; 3) the heart stops and they pronounced a […]
Numbers 6 – Praying through the Bible #41 – A Prayer that Separates
PHall | March 7, 2013
“Take time to be holy” is a song that annoys me. The church sings, “Take time to be holy?” and I annoyingly ask myself, “Aren’t we supposed to be holy all the time? Think people, the name ‘saint’ itself means ‘holy one!’” I always feel superior after a holy rant, how about you? After today’s […]
Perryism – “God” is a Fellowship
PHall | March 7, 2013
Explanation – “God” as in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, work together in harmony although each possesses any and all qualities of “Godhead.” This is seen throughout the gospels, most elegantly in the virgin birth (Lk 1). We are called to imitate this fellowship as seen in Philippians 2 where Jesus did not and […]
Who Am I?
PHall | March 6, 2013
I am missing People come looking for me Jerusalem After the Passover People assumed I am where I am not I am found after three days People are astonished at events I explain the scriptures I am asking and answering questions What happened should have been known People do not understand what is said I […]
Leviticus – Praying through the Bible #40 – A Prayer that is a Sacrifice
PHall | March 5, 2013
Reading Leviticus, I see no prayers; but much blood, many sacrifices, legalistic commands, details, entrails, and yes even much grace. Every sacrifice is about grace. So how can a book of no prayers help us pray through the Bible? Sacrifices are prayers and prayers are sacrifices. David pleads, “May my prayer be set before You […]
Acts 2:38 – Question and Answer as to Kai (and)
PHall | March 2, 2013
Question – “Concerning Acts 2:38 and the word and (kai) – “If I say ‘Take an aspirin AND water for your headache.’ only aspirin was necessary for the persons head ache. Water was not necessary.” Answer – Unlike aspirin which has the power of curing a headache, neither repentance nor baptism have that power. It […]
Exodus 35-40 – Praying through the Bible #39 – A Prayer I Need to Believe
PHall | March 1, 2013
No prayers are listed in the final 6 chapters of Exodus (35-40) in building the Tabernacle. So technically I am not writing about praying through the Bible…and yet I am. In chapters 35-36 we get a glimpse of what can be versus what is, by witnessing an astonishing alteration in the people of whom both […]
Luke 8:1-3 – A Gem on the Role of Women
PHall | March 1, 2013
Jesus came as a man, and chose 12 men to be His apostles, but the help of women supported their success. Luke, who emphasizes the raised role of women, stresses the teaching ministry of Jesus through a double emphasis that He was “preaching and telling the good news of the kingdom of God.” Along with […]
