Welcome Fellow Christians - Steve Pixler 8/17/14

[Sister Alvear]

I do not think Elder Epley is meaning to sound harsh. I have found him to be a true christian and a true minister of the gospel. I am sure he must know things we do not know and he does not agree however I do not think he means any harm to Brother Steve Pixler. He just does not agree with whatever he knows about and it is probably none of our business.
I do hope Brother Pixler is not into some things I worry about that often happens but I really do not know....Other than some of his men using beards and some couples using rings which is no secret for they are about all my friends on facebook that is all I know. Brother Steve Pixler folks come from a background and are what many call ultra cons so it is very shocking to see things we have never seen from there before. While most ultra cons would be quick to say that there is no bible against beards they do not use people that wear them. Lots of UPCI and some WPF churches uses rings...so maybe he is changing his fellowship to another type group or maybe something is deeper than we know about. I don't know....l am praying for his folks and all involved.
There is a trend and I am not saying there for I KNOW NOTHING however some people that I do know that "let down" began social drinking and from there it went to dancing and on and on....Do not read into what I am saying I KNOW NOTHING about Brother Pixler's situation. I want to always remember him as a down to earth preacher.
I did send him an e mail that we would be going through Texas and would be glad to stop by as I translated a booklet some time ago for him. (Has nothing to do with anything that is being said) He was very honest and said to me, "at the moment it would be better not to come it would hurt you all". I did not know that things were that bad but he did mention a few that had come by and suffered for it.
He was very honest with me, I thanked him and hope to be someone no matter where or how far he goes he can know I pray for him...and perhaps in time God will move and things will change....

You know changing the subject last night looking something up on the internet I came across a sermon preached by Mark Hamby many years ago. The Ribbon of Blue...I heard him preach that personally once...that was many many years ago...I did not know it was even on the net...I sat and wept the whole sermon because I knew the Williams and Hamby family...I knew him when he was used by te Lord...

One of the greatest sermons on soulwinning I ever heard preached was by Kenneth Philips.
Do not think I am judging or running anyone down for I am not.... I am just concerned for a family I love and pray that someway things can change. I really am not interested in knowing anything....It is all I can do to keep Janice Alvear in line and prayed up....lol..that is a job...
