Biblical truth standing on its spiritual head to get our eternal attention.

Perryism – No male should be an atheist because he “understands” the impossibility of God when it is impossible for any male to just understand women.

Matthew 1:21 – The Gospel According to the Zimmerman-Martin Trial

| July 17, 2013

The announcement of Jesus’ birth is that He named in accordance to His purpose – “He will save His people from their sins” (Mt.1.21). “Jesus” means, “The Lord Saves.” From our 21st century viewpoint, we understand this as spiritual salvation. In the 1st century, their myopic prophetic view was the oppressed nation (Jews) would be […]

Judges 1:1-2:3 – Praying through the Bible #68 – A Prayer Against Iron Chariots

| July 16, 2013

“All’s well that ends well” but not all’s well that begins well. Judges 1 begins by mentioning Joshua’s death, a man whose record in Judges is one of multiple triumphs. Thirty-one kings defeated (Josh.12:9-24). His last speech is renowned: “As for me and my house, we will worship Yahweh” (Josh.24.15). Because of his influence, after […]

Romans 1:20 – More Vast than the Universe

| July 16, 2013

As vast and seemingly infinite as the universe is; the mind of man is even more so for the universe has no self-awareness, but man is self-aware, aware of the universe, and even beyond. So if the universe declares God’s invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, and if this has been clearly seen […]

Exodus 7:20-22 – What Amazes Me

| July 13, 2013

I’ve always been amazed at the magicians of Egypt turning water into blood like Moses and Aaron turned the Nile into blood (Ex.7:20-22). Now, what amazes me is not just these pagans performing a “miracle” nor that the “miracle” they perform is not turning the Nile back into usable water. What amazes me maybe more […]

John 4:23-23 – Worship in spirit and truth or in Spirit and truth?

| July 13, 2013

Commentaries and translations conclude that “spirit” in John 4:23-24 is not the Holy Spirit, but rather spirit as in spiritually. My question is, why shouldn’t it be Holy “Spirit?” 1. That there is no definite article before pneuma does not prove anything since there is no consistency is that being a rule. There is no […]

Perryism – Personalities shouldn’t divide Christians united in one Person.

| July 12, 2013

1 Corinthians 1:10-13 (HCSB) (10) Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction. (11) For it has been reported to me about […]

Romans 1:18-23 – Faith in Self?

| July 12, 2013

Most accept E = MC2 because Einstein said it, not because they understand it, having more faith in Einstein than themselves; yet they reject what God says because they do not understand it, having more faith in themselves than God.

1 Corinthians 1-3 – Forget the Preacher

| July 12, 2013

What never ceases to amaze me about preaching the word of God after praying to God on what to preach, is how often unexpected people tell me how personally needed and meaningful the sermon was to them. The longer I preach the more I realize that the preacher is the least important part of the […]

Acts 20:7 – Every Sunday?

| July 12, 2013

Many churches have objections to partaking the Lord’s Supper every Sunday saying it would lose significance, yet have no problem taking up a collection and telling people “God loves a cheerful giver.” God also loves a thankful taker of His Son’s Supper.
