Arizona Election Officials Reported Today

Last updated on: January 5, 2022 at 10:15 pm By Kermit Zarley

I live in Arizona. It was one of the five swing states in the last presidential election, in 2020. Even though it is predominantly Republican, Arizona voted for Democrat Joe Biden over incumbent Republican President Donald Trump. After the election, the Republican-controlled Arizona legislature hired an investigative company named (no joke) Cyber Ninjas out of Florida to conduct a review of the ballot count in by far Arizona’s most populous county, Maricopa County, where I live. After many months, and... Read more

Did Jesus Say “Jerusalem Will Be Trampled by the Gentiles” or “Nations”?

Last updated on: December 29, 2021 at 12:08 am By Kermit Zarley

During Passion Week, Jesus and his apostles sat down on the Mount Olives overlooking the Temple Mount below. All three synoptists relates this incident, in which Jesus then taught extensively about the future and his second coming. Matthew and Mark relate this episode similarly, but Luke has some reporting that is different from the other two. One Lukan addition concerns “Gentiles” trampling Jerusalem. Or should it read “nations”? This teaching, called the Olivet Discourse, was prompted when Jesus’ disciples marveled... Read more

Did Time Magazine Choose the Right Person as Man of the Year?

Last updated on: December 15, 2021 at 11:34 am By Kermit Zarley

Every year, at the end of the year, Time magazine selects someone as Person of the Year. Last week, Time selected billionaire businessman Elon Musk as Person of the Year for 2021. Musk is the CEO and co-founder of Tesla and SpaceX and now the richest person in the world. Tesla has disrupted the auto industry, changing it from gas vehicles to electric vehicles. And Musk’s vision for SpaceX is to go to Mars. Some people always object to who... Read more

Trump Alienates Some Evangelicals about Netanyahu

Last updated on: December 15, 2021 at 12:41 am By Kermit Zarley

Axios reporter Barak Ravid revealed yesterday that he recently interviewed ex-U.S. President Donald Trump in which he spoke quite derogatorily of his friend ex-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It concerned Netanyahu having congratulated Joe Biden on winning the U.S. presidential election last year soon after media outlets were announcing that Biden had won. Trump has always claimed since then, without any evidence whatsoever, that it was a fraudulent election and that he really won it. So, Ravid claims Trump said... Read more

Was Jesus a Carpenter or a Stonemason?

Last updated on: December 6, 2021 at 11:30 am By Kermit Zarley

This month’s Christianity Today magazine has an interesting article by church pastor Jordan K. Monson, also an adjunct professor of the University of Northwestern-St. Paul, entitled “The Stonemason the Builders Rejected.” Monson points out something that most contemporary New Testament scholars know but the averaged person in the pew does not: Jesus probably was more of a stonemason than he was a wood crafter or carpenter, as Mel Gibson portrayed him in “The Passions of the Christ” film. It’s mostly... Read more

Victor Hovland Wins Hero World Challenge

Last updated on: December 5, 2021 at 11:20 pm By Kermit Zarley

Norwegian Victor Hovland won the PGA Tour’s Hero World Challenge by one stroke today over Scottie Scheffler at the Albany Golf Course in Albany, Bahamas. Hovland is on a hot streak, since it was his third title in his last twelve PGA Tour tournaments. Yet surprisingly, he still has not won such a title on the U.S. mainland. Hovland plays steady game, usually being a clutch player at crunch time, that is, when he’s in contention in the closing holes... Read more

Review of Jeff Deuble’s Book, “Christ Before Creeds”

Last updated on: December 3, 2021 at 10:48 am By Kermit Zarley

Jeff Deuble is the author of the recent book, Christ Before Creeds: Rediscovering the Jesus of History. It is a 176-page book about Jesus’ identity published by Living Hope International Ministries in 2021. I don’t know Jeff personally. I was asked to read and blurb his book because of its similarity to my book, The Restitution of Jesus Christ (2008). I am happy to oblige. Jeff was a pastor for many years in the Churches of Christ denomination in Australia.... Read more

The Present State of Electrical Energy Production in the U.S.

Last updated on: November 16, 2021 at 8:18 pm By Kermit Zarley

For a long time, I’ve believed in man-made global warming and thus been interested in the need for the world to convert from burning fossil fuels to using renewable energy, such as especially solar panels and wind turbines. It is a slow process to make this transition, but it was speeded up the past few days when nations met from the world over in Scotland at COP26. This acronym refers to the United Nations’ 26th Climate... Read more

Must Evangelicals Believe Jesus Is God?

Last updated on: November 15, 2021 at 11:42 am By Kermit Zarley

In recent years, there has been much print about, What is an Evangelical? It’s largely because Donald Trump became president partly due to his large political support from evangelicals. That was quite ironical since Trump seemed to be anything other than a Christian or an evangelical. I believe that Trump has used evangelicals for his political purpose. And one way he did it was to choose the very evangelical Mike Pence as his vice president. About 25% of all adult... Read more

Kokrack Wins HPE Houston Open

Last updated on: November 14, 2021 at 3:16 pm By Kermit Zarley

Just minutes ago, Jason Kokrak won the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open at Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas, by three strokes for his third win on the PGA Tour. He came from ten strokes behind halfway in the tournament, thus after 36 holes. He caught fire the back nine today, birdying four holes in succession to overtake leader Scottie Scheffler, who bogeyed holes 10, 11, and 14. Scheffler tied for second with Kevin Tway, son of PGA Championship... Read more
