Interesting extracts from some of HL
Hoeh's sermons
I have some handwritten notes from 3
sermons by HL Hoeh which may be of some interest:
1). The Church of God (7th day) "was the
primary instrument in this country to establish the conscentious objector
status of those who sought to live in peace on either side in the Civil War.
"The Church of God, in the person of Andrew
Dugger, presented in the time of the First World War the petition of the
Church to remain free of obligation of killing one's neighbour" (HL Hoeh's
message at HWA's graveside on 19 January 1986 -- Coworker Letter, 19.1.86, p.4).
2). Today Dugger's daughter is a member of
the Worldwide Church of God (sermon, 24.9.88, FOT, Thailand).
3). In the 1500s
and 1600s, the Church announced the 7th day. But in 1831 God used William Miller to announce the
2nd coming [another example of God working in mysterious ways - Craig]. Others
from Protestant denominations supported him. They learned of the Sabbath in
1846.
They were generally called the Churches of
Christ after the Seventh-day Baptists incorporated in 1802. Essentially they were
not doing the Work. Miller had no connection with them. (sermon 27 January
1990).
