Who's Afraid of Bro. Epley?
Some around are talking about pastors that intimidate, bully and abuse the church folks. Well have you taken a good look at Bro. Epley's avatar? He sure don't look very intimidating to me.

Re: Who's Afraid of Bro. Epley?
I haven't yet met a pentecostal preacher that could hold a candle to Verbal Bean or OR Fauss.
Much less someone like Charles Finney, John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, or George Fox.
Let's not even mention John the Baptist, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, or Isaiah.
And just forget Moses.

Re: Who's Afraid of Bro. Epley?
I hold Elder Epley in high regard. I have heard him. He doesn't mince words but his attitude is awesome. My former pastor and current also hold Elder Epley in high regard. I do trust the caliber of men my former pastor would fellowship. So . . . nope not afraid but do have great respect.

Re: Who's Afraid of Bro. Epley?
I've never been afraid of Epley nor do I think we would have cross words if we met. I would visit his church in a heartbeat but would never attend it as a member.
Besides, I am sure he would appreciate some good HDR photos of the inside/outside of his church building for various newsletter purposes.
Not quite sure the reason for this thread.

Re: Who's Afraid of Bro. Epley?
Epley is to be pitied, not feared. The poor feller doesn't understand that the body of Christ is much much larger than those of his particular religious persuasion.
He's missing fellowship with the body of Christ and that's sad.

The reason: I read several posts of late about preachers that are bullies and try to intimidate folks into giving up their money. Some of it seemed to me to be directed toward Bro. Epley and I was just amazed at the way he answers with a Christ like attitude.

I really don't know him other than posts I've read the past several years, but as someone who HAS had a "bully" for a pastor, Epley doesn't seem to be one. Now again, maybe he IS and just doesn't show his true colors here, but have no reason to think so.
Now he has made many bold proclamations over the years that I have disagreed with completely, which is why I wouldn't be a member of his congregation, but would not fear visiting it.
