Bob DeWaay
Bob DeWaay was a chemical engineering student when he was apprehended by the gospel of Christ in 1971. In the fall of that year he transferred to North Central Bible College and graduated in 1974. Bob and his wife then joined a Christian community that practiced "innovative" spirituality including exorcism/inner healing techniques, new prophetic revelations, heavy handed shepherding and other aberrations. Leaving that community in 1980, Bob began the process of careful, verse-by-verse Bible study and teaching, searching out answers to the errors he had experienced first hand. This Bible study led to the conviction that the Bible teaches God's sovereign grace, NOT man-centered techniques. Bob's belief in the authority of Scripture led to implementing verse by verse expository teaching and preaching in his pastoral ministry. Bob began publishing Critical Issues Commentary in 1992. This bi-monthly commentary's mission is to address important, contemporary issues in church and society from a Biblical perspective, thereby helping its readers distinguish truth from error and apply the truth in practical ways in their lives. The Critical Issues Commentary radio ministry shares this mission. Bob graduated from Bethel Seminary in 1999 with a Masters of Arts in Theological Studies degree. He is the senior pastor of Twin City Fellowship in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He and his wife Diane have been married for 30 years and have two children and two grandchildren. |
