BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ROBERT COBB
Hello, my name is Robert Cobb and this is my website. Although I am dust, and purpose to know nothing but Jesus Christ and him Crucified, this is a little bit about me: I was born in Port Hueneme, California in 1954. My dad was in the navy at the time and we lived on the navy base my first year or so. Dad got out of the navy after his four year hitch and we moved back to Texas which is where dad was raised.
I attended grade school in Arlington and Garland, Texas and graduated from Garland High School in 1972. After attending North Texas State University in Denton, Texas for a couple of years, I transferred to the University of Texas at Austin where I completed a program in Geology.
While in college I began to seriously seek the Lord for help with school and other matters. The Bible does say that “they that call upon the Lord shall be saved.” At this time, the Lord Jesus gave me a boldness to stand up in front of people and do a presentation which I previously could not do. He must have removed some amount of fear from my heart.
After college, I got a job with an oil company working as a Petroleum Geologist. During this time, I started looking for a church home as I thought this was necessary to be a Christian. I attended several churches and finally settled on Word of Faith Church in Farmers Branch, Texas. This began about a twelve year journey through the charismatic wilderness.
I indoctrinated myself in charismatic teaching as much as I could, having been taught at Word of Faith (WOF) that this was seeking the Kingdom of God. I attended WOF Bible College, was a home fellowship attendee, became a home fellowship Leader and had several certificates from WOF Leadership classes.
When I married my first wife, Pat, in 1992, I quit attending Word of Faith. For church we stayed at home and listened to Kenneth Copeland on television. In 1994, Pat passed away with breast cancer. After Pat died, I still listened to Kenneth Copeland for my “church” until God had mercy on me and revealed the Gospel to my heart through an Apostle..
I never heard the Gospel taught while in the charismatic wilderness. Mostly what was taught was the Law of Moses in Jesus Name. There was no revelation of the gospel.
I met my present wife, Mele, while out dancing one night. It was not long after that that we begin listening to Doyle Davidson on television. Doyle taught us that the Gospel is that Jesus died for our sins, He was buried and that God raised Him from the dead (I Cor. 15:1-4). When God reveals the gospel to your heart, it will open up the New Testament teachings of Paul. Thank God. We started attending Water of Life in Plano and God has been changing our hearts as we yield to the truth. Our goal is to obey God and to be conformed to the image of Christ Jesus.
