Congrats Elder Epley and God bless the Racine church!

I wouldn’t dare tell you what to think. Yet, I don’t understand the beef with Armapeet, he’s just suggesting that he has seen one too many to build these big buildings, yet they fail. He hasn’t said that he’s personally talking about this elder. Now, I agree with him! Just because we raise our eyebrows when this stuff comes around, because I’ve seen behind the pulpit. Does everyone that build big temples fail, no not at all. I just have concerns when this happens, like I said i know several, built million dollar buildings, one in particular right now 12 years later there may be just 20 people in the building.
On the other hand, congratulations Bro. Epley

If I was a betting man I would bet you haven’t seen 5. Maybe you heard gossip of more but you ain’t seen probably but 1 maybe 2

God designed the Tabernacle, men design temples.

What's sad is AFF can't even have a thread to congratulate a Pastor without someone posting their grievances.

With that aside do you believe God created the Tabernacle, men create Temples. It seems to make sense to me.

If you are invited to preach in a church with stained glass and a 9 foot angel hanging from the wall over the platform. Will you take the invitation and preach?

I am very happy for Steve Epley. He has always been kind to me and it is good to read good news coming from where he works.

Blessings to you, Rev. Epley.

If I feel a message for the assembly, yes sir I would.

Why does it have to be an angel? What about a 9 ft tv screen?
