They said he preached for along while but I was just taking it all in and I would have sat and hour more listening to him preach... But then again, I can sit hear and listen to 3 or 4 messages a night. I never get tired of anointed preaching.!

It was awsome as he always is. Bats 100% all the time I don't like him.

I also heard him at your meeting, last year it was I think. Also, Bro Groce was there... I can listen to them for hours and not get tired. I have yet to hear you preach, Bro. Epley. But some of my family has your sermons from that same meeting in Shelbyville and I get to get those cd's in a few weeks!!!

They will NOT have the Tabernacle done so the meeting is outdoors. I think the preachers are Edwin Young at night and Cloyce Hensley during the day?
I don't go it is our anniversary and when we lived in Tennessee my good wife had to endure the heat for that but now we don't go but generally take a vacation. We are part of the Hoosierland Camp at Paragon, In.

Oh wow! I didn't know that... Oh well! I might go anyhow. Have to go to Florida and that is usually a stopping point...

I must admit, I'm more of a teacher than a screamer. I attempt to refrain from manipulating a response by use of over-the-top vocal acrobatics.

I'm guided by the fact that I want people to clearly understand, welcome, and activate the Word into their lives.

I usually preach between 35-45 minutes on Sundays and teach about 1 hour for Midweek Bible study.

Oh, and I think that it's sad that people are saying that 15 minutes is plenty of time for the Word. Seriously, how many would be content with 15 minutes of worship/singing/choir? I've preached in less than 15 minutes before and God definitely moved, but there's no way I would regulate it to 15 minutes as a standard.

Anyway, JMO...
