Okay, is this Larry Sims' son?? Related to Robert Sims? I know, I know, it's a public forum...I'm just in a shock if it's the person I am thinking of!

Not completely sure. Think that he has a brother named Larry, but I'd have to confirm that.

Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme
This situation is just one more example of what happens if you leave the UPC. Or perhaps his wife cut her hair.
(where is that tongue in cheek thingy to post when you need it!!!!)

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Former UPCI Pastor pleads guilty to embezzleme
It is sad I agree that a man who was such a great man of God could do something so wrong. I feel for his family, for his children, for his wife and for his parents and siblings, he was not raised this way and I am positive his parents have spent hours praying for the situation.
However I do feel it is only fair that he pays for his crimes, he has lived above his means for many years there is no reason why a new home mission church pastor and his wife should have brand new Louie V's all the time, expensive cars, fancy vacations last I checked people worked hard for God and God blessed us as he saw fit and what we could handle. Mr. Sims took matters into his own hands and stole other peoples hard earned money so he could further his families shopping addictions, he simply used his church to hide it. All I can say is I hope he has taken his time with God and has learned his lesson.
He and his wife were great loving people who always seemed to have values and would abide by the rules and really had a fire for young people and God but the pressure to have more and show it off got to them and this is what happened.
