Today is the 1,700th Anniversary of the Nicene Creed

Last updated on: November 23, 2025 at 11:49 pm By Kermit Zarley

The foremost theological crisis in the history of Christianity occurred in the year 325. It was about the identity of Jesus of Nazareth, arguably the founder of Christianity, who came to be known by his immediate followers as Jesus Christ, but later by the Catholic Church as both God and man. In four days, Pope Leo XIV will attend a four-day celebration of the Nicene Creed, drafted in 325 A.D. and thus 1,700 year ago. The pope issued a statement... Read more

How Mainline Church Clergy Votes Compared to Parishioners

Last updated on: November 22, 2025 at 9:44 pm By Kermit Zarley

My friend Dr. Scot McKnight—a New Testament professor with over a 100 books published—has some interesting stats on the subject about voting in his newsletter on Substack today. We Christians usually think that the people in the pews vote pretty much as their pastors do. But Scot shows that is not the case in mainline Protestant churches, such as “United Methodist or Episcopal churches.” Here is the breakdown: Statistics of Voting from Mainline Protestants Scot says, “A majority of mainline...

Congress Says Justice Should Release Its Epstein Files

Last updated on: November 18, 2025 at 8:50 pm By Kermit Zarley

0 Comments

When former U.S. President Donald Trump campaigned for a second presidential term last year as the Republican nominee, he and most of his MAGA political base demanded that all sources of information about former Trump friend Jeffrey Epstein should be released to the public. It was a major element of Trump’s campaign in order for him to get reelected. Epstein was a New York financier and convicted pedophile who died in a jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his court...

First Review of My Golf Book on Amazon

Last updated on: November 8, 2025 at 7:17 pm By Kermit Zarley

Here is the first Amazon customer review of my new book, Christ on the PGA Tour (1965-1982): I know it is cliché, but this book is a must read for anyone associated with the sport of golf. And, even for a person like me, a Christian who has little familiarity with the professional golf scene, the book was very enjoyable. I’d even say a “page-turner”. Zarley writes and tells a story well. Kermit Zarley played on the PGA Tour from 1964–1986 and... Read more

Pope Leo XIV Meets Palestinian Authority President Abbas

Last updated on: November 7, 2025 at 9:54 am By Kermit Zarley

Yesterday, Pope Leo XIV met Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas at the Vatican. In this first in-person meeting, they clasped hands signifying respect for each other. They discussed the need for a Palestinian state. The Vatican has for many years advocated what the PA calls for—a two-state solution. That is what I advocate in my book Palestine Is Coming: The Revival of Ancient Philistia, published in 1990. Bible believers, as I am, should advocate for justice regarding the intractable...

Universe’s Expansion May Be Slowing, Indicating a Big Crunch

The Certain Expansion of the Universe Scientists believe our universe eventually will come to and end. In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered with his telescope that all galaxies are moving farther and farther away from each other, which came to be called “the expansion of the universe.” In the 1990s, scientists thought this expansion of the universe was “accelerating”, indicating that the universe would grow colder and colder and end in what they called “the Big Chill.” The Decelerating Expansion of...

We Must Oppose Trump To Protect Our Democracy I have been an independent voter all of my life. I always voted for Republican presidents until Barack Obama. IMO, the Republican Party is not what it used to be and is now the Trump Party. Donald Trump is the biggest liar I have ever seen in my lifetime. He told Billy Bush that telling people lies that you want them to believe is his modus operandi. Billy Bush, cousin of former... Read more

North Africa and the Middle East Are Earth’s Driest Area The driest region on earth is an area that begins in Egypt and stretches both west and east across North Africa and the Middle East. Ten nations in this sparse territory, which encompasses the Sahara Desert and the Arabian Peninsula, are the ten driest nations on earth according to the World Atlas.

I am a supporter of the Council on Foreign Affairs (CFR) centered in New York City and Washington, D.C. It is a non-profit, non-partisan think tank. They are an elite source for learning about world affairs. In fact, their outstanding magazine is called Foreign Affairs. Today, I attended a one-hour, CFR, zoomed webinar entitled “Religious Persecution in China.” It was overseen by CFR’s Irina Faskianor, Vice President of National Program and Outreach. It was moderated by CFR’s Sarah Cook. She... Read more
