Does Larry Booker preach strong? Yes. But, honestly, look at how completely stupid this thread is:'
He's not in the manual. Oops, yes he is.
He said this about her. Oops, I assumed it was her.
He talked about them. Oops, he didn't say them by name.
He did this. Oops, it was my friend that said it not me.

Go on people. Rally the troops. Let's attack good men we know pretty much nothing about. Arm yourselves with facts that just aren't.

Puke. What a pathetic mess of suppositions some people will gather around.

GO listen to the sermon...

www.inlandlighthouse.com

Then say who is assuming what...

I just listened to it in its entirety and this thread is not off base as far as content...

The only assumptions here was that LB never actually said the names of the ones he was talking about...but in 1977 there were three close friends and everyone knows it...two left and one stayed...and everyone knows it...two went on TV, one lost his church in about three years the other pastors still...

Dn't be stupid please....everyone who knows the history knows the two that left were Kenneth Phillips and Mark Hamby...and that Mark Hamby lost his church...everyone also knows that Tommy Craft still maintains close contact witht he Phillips...

When you are talking about TV, the UPC, and 1977...there is NO DOUBT it is Phillips and Hamby.

It's headed to more obscurity.

There is no circular logic in a
Straightline

What?!?!? And ruin a good bashing? You've got to be kidding!

I know Larry Booker... I preach for him and am scheduled to be there again in a few months. SO MUCH of what is being said of the man is simply not true.

He's a man of convictions and depth who has the guts to stand by his convictions even if it makes him unpopular. Obviously that is not a very 'welcomed' thing among some of the AFF crowd.

If you don't share his convictions, fine. But why attack someone over something they have a conviction over? It simply shows the shallowness of some on this forum.

For the record, I have spoken to Bro. Booker at some length and have NEVER heard him trash one person by name. I've never heard him put ONE PERSON IN HELL over this resolution. His mentality is simply, "I don't agree and will find fellowship elsewhere to protect what I believe is best for my church."

Oddly enough, I don't see that mentality reciprocated on this thread... or forum much for that matter.

In regards to his license? He says he isn't sure what he'll do and will have to make up his mind when the time comes.

Those are the facts... Not that facts would matter to those who would rather carry a club to pummel than 'good intentions'.

Sad.

My sentiments pretty much exactly.

Bro Steadfast,

can you point out to me what was said that was not true ? His sermon was put on their website for the public to hear- no?
Other than the fact that he didnt come right out and say "wanda", we that know and rememebr the '77 split, automatically know exactly who he was referring to.
i started the thread so that posters could make their comments pro or against the sermon.

I suspect that's exactly where he feels it's headed. I'm a part of the UPC but I don't suspect it will ever again be the 'UPC' that it once was. I'm of the camp that could 'live with' TV advertising but also believe that it will NEVER stop there.

There are many who think the 'best days' of the UPC are behind us. I sincerely hope they are wrong.

That'll pull the ole heartstrings and solidify the young couples to his new direction...

BTW THAD, did you notice how he didn't use any scripture past his text? All he did was tell one "horror story" after the next about ex-UPC preachers and churches.....glad to see his sermon so heavily rooted in the word....

What was his prooftext ..... who knew the bean patch needed protecting?

Guess who has been deputized as the bean patch PROTECTOR?
