Preaching against Modern Medicine??

[Sister Alvear]

Yes, Elder Epley that was sad for him and his family. Such a good man. A man that was completely sold out for God, to God and to all that concerned God's kingdom...I miss him...I always called him when the brothers had Bible questions...He was a walking Bible.
I miss him...

Pastor, that is admirable????

Jim Tripplet...what a man...my honor and respect goes to such a giant that once lived among us...Brother Jones just heard him preach a mighty sermon at Brother Bratchers when we were home this last time...such a preacher. Brother Tingle...that burden he has to get his paper out to evangelize is awesome.
I feel so unworthy even writing their names... Never would I say anything bad about these people except I cannot see the scriptures as they do..If I am wrong please pray for me.
I loved so many of those that have gone on and wish they walked among us...Yes, Brother Roy Rowley and Sister Rowely...what great people they were. Hard working, God loving people...always had that Jublilee service...My, what memories...

The pastor that told me I should have died trusting God, his family now uses both medicine and hospitals...It pays us to be careful what we say we will and will not do.

I think so if a man preaches it and folks keep it until death then when it his time he should die to keep his testimony. I think it is such a sad thing personally folks leave companions and children and church families to suffer when maybe a very little dose of medicine would have saved them. But if you are going to preach it to other then stay with it.

It is easier preached when well. But when we get older it becomes tougher every year. I told a young man who is somewhat a leader among that group years ago after hearing him preach it that he had better preach it while he can it is a young man's message.

That is a fact. I do respect consistency, although my heart still breaks over what I consider to be needless deaths in their church and family.

I think consistency is admirable, even when it is misplaced, at least, when compared against so many who are hypocritical and inconsistent, who preach one thing, but do another for themselves and their immediate families.

Consistency should never replace truth.
