Rory McIlroy Wins CJ Cup @ Summit

Last updated on: October 17, 2021 at 9:34 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy shot a six-under par 66 today to overtake leader Rickie Fowler to win the  CJ Cup @ Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada, by one stroke over Collin Morikawa, who shot a ten-under par 62. At 32 years of age, it was McIlroy’s 20th win on the PGA Tour. Rickie Fowler, who started today with a two stroke lead over McIlroy, had the Sunday blues as he double-bogeyed the sixth hole and putted poorly. He tied... Read more

Arizona Election Official Can Now Say, “I’m Your Huckleberry”

Last updated on: October 17, 2021 at 2:22 pm   By Kermit Zarley

I live in Arizona. “Tombstone” is a classic, Hollywood, Western movie that was filmed in 1993. Film critics and actors involved claim “Tombstone” is quite authentically-based. It is about real-life people and events that occurred in Tombstone, Arizona, during 1881. The lead character of the film is Wyatt Earp, played by Kurt Russell. Earp was the sheriff of Tombstone and a renown gambler. The leading, supporting figure in the film is John Henry “Doc” Holliday, played by Val Kilmer. Holliday... Read more

Fowler Leads CJ Cup@Summit

Last updated on: October 16, 2021 at 9:17 pm   By Kermit Zarley

  Rickie Fowler has been missing-in-action for about the past 18 months until today. I wonder if it has been because he got married. Oops! Nothing worse can stir up a new bride’s anger on the PGA Tour than that one. Fowler last won on the PGA Tour here close to where I live, at the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2019. Regarded at the time as a budding superstar, the popular and colorful dresser sank down to his present... Read more

The Galilean Said, “I Am the Light of the World”

Last updated on: October 11, 2021 at 12:11 pm   By Kermit Zarley

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8.12; 9.5). If I had said that, or you had said that, we would be total crackpots! But not Jesus of Nazareth. Just read the New Testament gospels that quote his teaching and tell of his healings and exorcisms. Jesus was one-of-a-kind. I don’t see how anyone can read those documents with an open mind and not realize that Jesus was indeed “the light of the world.” As I often... Read more

Why I Am an Evangelical Even Though Evangelicals Say I’m Not

Last updated on: October 8, 2021 at 6:37 pm   By Kermit Zarley

I have been an evangelical Christian since college. I was saved in a Nazarene Church when I was thirteen. Many evangelicals would say I’m no longer an evangelical because of the my book, The Restitution of Jesus Christ. In it, as a former Trinitarian for 22 years, I make a very in-depth examination of critical biblical texts to show that the Bible does not identify Jesus as God, rather as the Messiah of Israel, Lord, and Savior. The Christians of... Read more

Pence Was “Unequally Yoked Together” with Trump

Last updated on: October 5, 2021 at 5:26 pm   By Kermit Zarley

I think former Vice President Mike Pence is making himself look foolish by continuing to speak well of former President Donald Trump. Yet Trump had threatened Pence’s life on January 6th by calling on rioters who stormed the Capitol Building to force Pence to illegally try to overturn the election, which I believe was an attempt at a coup. Last night on Sean Hannity’s Fox News, Mike Pence alleged that the new media is still focusing on the events of... Read more

Vaccine Mandates Are Working, Moral, and Legal

Last updated on: September 30, 2021 at 10:49 am   By Kermit Zarley

Crunch time is happening all over the U.S. for the approximately 25% of adult Americans who have refused to take a COVID-19 vaccination. Employers are firing the unvaccinated left and right. And it is working. Half or more of such unvaccinated employees are succumbing to taking the shot rather than losing their jobs. Medical experts having been saying all along that the only way to beat this pandemic–and thus for societies throughout the world to get back to normal–is to... Read more

Stephanie Grisham: “I’ll Take Your Questions Now”?

Last updated on: September 29, 2021 at 11:44 am   By Kermit Zarley

I have been perplexed by the title of the book about to be released entitled, I’ll Take Your Questions Now. It is by former President Trump’s communications director and press secretary Stephanie Grisham. She was known for never conducting a televised press event with reporters. But now she will do it with this book. Why? She reveals in the book, “I knew that sooner or later the president would want me to tell the public something that was not true... Read more

Jesus Was a Jew

Last updated on: September 29, 2021 at 10:31 am   By Kermit Zarley

Many people have not known that Jesus was a Jew. Jesus of Nazareth in Galilee, who lived nearly 2,000 years ago, is clearly the most famous person who has ever lived. For the past more than 1,600 years, Christianity–which purports to be the religion of Jesus or about Jesus–has been the largest religion in the world. Then, how can there be people in this world who don’t know where this guy Jesus came from, that is, where he was born... Read more

Is Jesus “Lord” for Christian Anti-Vaxxers?

Last updated on: September 27, 2021 at 11:21 am   By Kermit Zarley

The Wall Street Journal writer William A. Galston explained (6/8/21) concerning the gap in Republican voters not being vaccinated for COVID as much as Democratic voters, “They understand freedom as being left alone, to make their own choices, and they resent being told what to do.” Well, maybe that’s freedom, but it isn’t community. And in the Bible, community precedes individual freedom for both Israel in the Old Testament and the church in the New Testament. For instance, regarding Israel,... Read more
