I attend quite a few conservative functions and I enjoy them to the max because I am, for the most part, among like minded men. The only thing that has puzzled me is how the wives of the men who preach that wearing gold is a sin in any form or fashion get a pass for wearing Sable Stoles or Minks and other apparel that is costly by any man's standard of measurement.
I just like consistent application of principles and proper exegesis of scripture. Shame on me!
If that is a shame then I'll be shamed everyday of the week!

Yes, I know some of your family. Did your Dad take care of the cooking area at camp? I remember the name but we have been gone a long time. We knew David and Sherri very well and the Turners. My wife was a Michael.
David and Sherri followed Dad and Mom in Duncan.
I used to date Becky Nickell and I believe her mom, Jolene, was a Michael from the Pauls Valley area.
My dad, was a tall white headed fellow that did much of the AC, most of the plumbing and all the high powered Electrical work on the campground.
What else does that scripture say? Post the Whole Hearted verse and then measure yourself against it. No subjective interpretations. Just interpret the exact wording of each phrase with the same method of interpretation used for wearing of gold.

Jolene was a Wade. We are still very good friends with all of the Wades. We know Becky also.
I remember your Dad. I went to that church while he was still pastor right after I got the H. G. and came into the truth. Seems I dated a girl out of that church a few times.
I heard a tape of Pastor Ewing years ago about this subject. My wife and I took our rings off and never put them on again. I was preaching a revival in LA. years ago and the Lord told me to take off my watch. Now the watch was small but very nice and people would notice it. So was it the gold watch or was it because it looked so nice that it was a piece of jewelry?
Did people comment on your watch? Maybe it was a distraction to someone.

Well, as i understand it, this is not a UPC sponsored Conference.
It's A.Ms conference that he puts on for ministers and their wives.
Many of them come not only to hear the guest line up but also to hear what he has to say. I think his message is more like a "conference address".
I knew a guy once that would announce to his church that revival would be starting on wednesday and we are going "x" days. Then he would preach the revival himself.
