Dr. S. Lewis Johnson Writes the Foreword in my First Book The situation was quite the opposite with my dear friend Professor S. Lewis Johnson. But I did not talk to him about whether or not Jesus is God until I had studied it a few more years and then I felt prepared somewhat to discuss it with him. I met Dr. S. Lewis Johnson in 1969 when I attended Believers’ Chapel while playing in the PGA Tour’s Dallas Open.... Read more
Discussing Identity Christology with Drs. Clowney, Houston, and Sproul Days later, I expressed my thoughts about this to my close friend Jim Hiskey. Jim had discipled me for years. We also were partners in the Lord’s work—mostly the PGA Tour Bible Study. Jim’s brother and PGA Tour player, Babe Hiskey, and I had co-founded this group at Jim’s suggestion. During most of the 1960s, Jim was on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ. He then hooked up with Dick... Read more
Reconsidering the Trinity and Jesus Being Fully God About ten years later, I began to change on a more important theological subject. It was the doctrine of the Trinity and thus the deity of Christ, meaning Jesus is God. That is what nearly all Christians are taught and thus believe. Again, this change happened to me due to my interest in Bible prophecy. One day in 1980, while I was studying in my home office, I became troubled about the... Read more
(Originally drafted in February, 1989, with recent editing. Successive parts will be posted every 24 hours.) My Theological Change from Pretribulationism to Posttribulationism I was born in 1941 in Seattle, Washington. I grew up attending Sunday school at the Nazarene Church near my home. (My uncle pastored it two years.) At 13 years of age, I prayed privately with my Sunday school teacher to receive Jesus into my life as my Lord and Savior. That’s when I was born again.... Read more
Brooks Koepka continues to prove why he was chosen as the Player of the Year last year, having won two majors. He moved into World #1 today as he won the PGA Tour’s CJ Cup at Nine Bridges on Jeju Island, South Korea, by four strokes over Gary Woodland. It was Koepka’s fifth PGA Tour win and third in the past eleven events he has played. The 28-year old, long-hitting Brooks Koepka has thrust himself into a position in pro... Read more
Marc Leishman just won the CIMB Classic–the second PGA Tour event in the new 2018-2019 season–at TPC Kuala Lampur’s West Course in Malaysia. He won by five strokes, tying the course record 7-under par 65 today for a 262 total. In nine years on the PGA Tour, it was the 6′ 2″ Aussie’s fourth win. Tied for second on this beautiful layout in Malaysia were Bronson Burgoon, Emiliano Grillo, and Chesson Hadley. The next two PGA Tour tournaments will be held... Read more
For a long time in church history, the average Christian’s favorite gospel of the four gospels of the New Testament (NT) was the Gospel of John. In the early nineteenth century, it was even the favorite of Frederick Schleiermacher, “the father of liberal theology.” But by this time, literary criticism was being applied to the Bible as a result of Enlightenment. From 1880 to 1920, the quasi School of Religions, consisting of leading NT scholars in Germany, was alleging that... Read more
Bob Tway’s son, Kevin Tway, just won the Safeway Open at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa, California, for his first win on the PGA Tour. He defeated Ryan Moore on the third extra hole of a sudden-death playoff with a birdie three on the 10th hole. Television announcers said the wind today had kicked up to 35 miles-per-hour at times. But it had completely died down late in the tournament. Three players were tied after the 72 holes of... Read more
Sweet-swinging Brandt Snedeker started the third round of the Safeway Open today with a three-shot lead. He birdied the last three holes to end the day in the premier wine country of Napa Valley at the North Course of the Silverado Resort and Spa with the same margin, this time over Kevin Tway. Snedeker is vying for his tenth PGA Tour win. The younger Tway–who looks like his dad, who won eight PGA Tour tournaments, one of them being the... Read more
Our Arizona, Republican, Senator Jeff Flake made a surprising announcement in October last year that he would not run again for his position as senator, which ends in January, 2019. He explained that in the current political environment in the Republican party, his chances of winning were poor. Indeed, even Arizona Republican voters, a very red state, were not that supportive of him. Plus, he had written and published a book last year entitled Conscience of a Conservative: A Rejection of...
