Church Communion Should Not Be Environmentally Destructive

Last updated on: January 7, 2023 at 9:27 pm By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

About a year ago, my church changed how it administers communion at its Sunday morning worship service. Previously, it had always passed out plates to us congregants that had small crackers and little plastic cups filled with grape juice. That had been pretty standard practice among churches during my lifetime. I always assumed the plastic cups were afterwards cleaned and reused, thus leaving no waste products. Of course, that requires some minimal labor in the washing of the cups. But... Read more

Sentry Tournament of Champions Begins the New Year

The PGA Tour started off the new year today with its first round of the Sentry Tournament of Champions for the 25th year at the Kapalua Plantation Course in Maui, Hawaii. Three co-leaders shot 9-under par 64s: Colin Morikawa, J. J. Spaun, and Jon Rahm. This special tournament consists of only 39 winners from last season’s PGA Tour schedule. My friends and golf analyst Brandel Chamblee was speaking on the Golf Channel’s Golf Central program on TV today about... Read more

Has the Media Asked Mike Pence If He Defends Trump Due to Romans 13

Last updated on: December 21, 2022 at 12:49 am By Kermit Zarley

Mike Pence appears to be anomaly. President Donald Trump tried to get his Vice President Mike Pence to break the law and make a contribution to overthrowing the U.S. government by refusing to recognize the certification of the Electoral College results, in which Trump lost the presidential election to Joe Biden. And while Biden was about to perform that formality, Trump incited a riot against the Capitol where Pence and all 535 members of Congress were gathered for that official... Read more

Masters Accepts LIV

Last updated on: December 20, 2022 at 11:49 pm By Kermit Zarley

Augusta National Golf Club chairman Fred Ridley announced this morning that LIV Golf pros would be invited to participate in the 2023 Masters Tournament who are “eligible under our current criteria.” Thus, the Masters–the first of the four major championships in golf each year–will not ban LIV pros, including those who departed from the PGA Tour. This decision affects about a dozen PGA Tour players who defected to LIV. The 2023 Masters Tournament is scheduled for April 6-9. In... Read more

Singhs Finally Win PNC Championship

Last updated on: December 20, 2022 at 11:50 pm By Kermit Zarley

Three-time major championship winner Vijay Singh and his 31-year old son Qass finally won the two-day PNC Championship just now after 16 attempts. After finishing second three different years and third three different years, this two-man team–in this family competition of playing the best ball on each shot (scramble format)–carded a pair of 13-under par 59s for a two-round total of 26-under par to win by two strokes over the teams of Justin and Mike Thomas and defending champions...

Copyists’ Harmonizations of the Synoptic Gospels

Last updated on: April 28, 2025 at 11:46 am By Kermit Zarley

The transmission of the Christian Bible is by far the most studied literary occupation ever undertaken in world history. Nothing else in literature even compares to this most intense endeavor, which involves a recovery process from extant, ancient manuscripts. The Christian Bible consists of two parts: the Old Testament, which scholars call the Jewish Bible, and the New Testament. All of the Jewish Bible originally was written in the Hebrew language accept for Daniel 2–7, which was written in... Read more

Victor Hovland a Hero Again

Last updated on: December 20, 2022 at 11:52 pm By Kermit Zarley

Norwegian Victor Hovland successfully defended his Hero World Challenge championship today in Nassau, Bahamas, by defeating his playing partner Scottie Scheffler by two strokes. This PGA Tour tournament is an “unofficial” event even though Hovland’s one million dollar prize still banked well. Hovland, who began the day with a three-stroke lead, gained three shots on Scheffler on the 8th and 9th holes to take a five-stroke lead at the turn. But that dwindled to a two-stroke lead on Scheffler when... Read more

Trump: The World’s Worst Loser

Last updated on: December 3, 2022 at 10:40 pm By Kermit Zarley

My book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall, is a collection of about 200 blog posts I wrote of President Trump’s 2015-16 presidential campaign and his entire presidency while it was happening. A few are about his main attack mode against people, which is to call them “losers.” When then president Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden, I blogged on November 29, 2020, about Trump claiming the election was fraudulent and that he really won, which he is...

COVID Deaths May Have Cost Republicans the Midterms

Last updated on: December 10, 2022 at 10:52 am By Kermit Zarley

An alarming new study just came out from the National Bureau of Economic Research–a private, politically nonpartisan, and non-profit research organization. The study is entitled “Excess Death Rates for Republicans and Democrats During the COVID-19 Pandemic.” It shows that mostly on the basis of voter registration and death records that after COVID-19 vaccinations were available in the summer of 2021 the COVID-19 death rate among Republicans was soon twice that of Democrats and even noticeably more than twice when well...

Trump Goes From MAGA to MAMA to MARMA

Last updated on: November 15, 2022 at 10:32 pm By Kermit Zarley

Former U.S. President Donald Trump continues his fall, as in my book Bible Predicts Trump Fall. He’s is going from Make America Great Again to Make America Miserable Again. An example is his announcement an hour ago to campaign for the 2024 presidential election. Why is Trump making this announcement so early, two years before the election? Many political pundits and legal experts say it’s because he thinks it gives him a possible legal advantage in the numerous criminal and... Read more
