He was the one I could always point to as a faithful and true minister in the SDA church. His message of corporate repentance is so greatly needed. Elder Wieland understood the gospel like no other pastor. His book, In Search of the Cross, is a masterpiece which blessed my life abundantly.

Every time I doubt my salvation or I get tired of Adventism's luggage, I think of this.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14360019133363231951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-5997522200116877352011-07-26T13:48:09.911-04:002011-07-26T13:48:09.911-04:00Thanks for sharing, GC!

We were always blessed tremendously whenever we had opportunity to hear Pastor Wieland speak on his favorite subject, "the matchless charms of Jesus". Just thinking about those wonderful messages brings tears to my eyes.<br /Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147132826534936857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-84512533212581378812011-07-26T13:21:11.398-04:002011-07-26T13:21:11.398-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147132826534936857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-82473868986012944322011-07-25T04:48:06.034-04:002011-07-25T04:48:06.034-04:00Exactly my sentiments, BB.

I can name 1888 Reexamined as the main published work upon witch adventism still stands in the SDA Church. Really unperceived and unappreciated giants, these two modest men of God.<br /><br />GCGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125537640158446988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-1530529322211783192011-07-23T14:48:54.597-04:002011-07-23T14:48:54.597-04:00I do sometimes have a bit of trouble understanding...I do sometimes have a bit of trouble understanding what went down in 1888, as everybody (often opposing camps) claims to be carrying the legacy of Jones and Waggoner's messages.<br /><br />I am familiar with the names Wieland and Short as well, but little else.<br /><br />I do wish to take the emphasis off of the church's readiness onto the readiness of the world.

It is somewhat disheartening to hear past and current reactions to this precious truth. I pray the truth will be more readily accepted and preached for all to hear, so I can one day meet Elder Wieland around the great white throne.T Calvertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3601946653328882528.post-52389235175568330212011-07-18T22:50:46.880-04:002011-07-18T22:50:46.880-04:00Some day the maligned prophets among us will be br...Some day the maligned prophets among us will be brought in out of the cold. We will restore them, many posthumously, to their rightful place in the work they have done for Jesus and His Bride. Thank you, Elder Wieland. You have truly been a unappreciated giant. May we rededicate ourelves to the One you directed us to. We look forward to reunion soon.<br />BBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
