Pastor Maddoux was my pastor at Gospel Center for several years. I learned more about the Bible from him than any other pastor. He had a way of grabbing your attention to learn about God's Word. I am so grateful that God led me to Pastor Maddoux and his teachings. Even though I had not seen him in years, I have never forgotten what he taught me. May God give comfort to his family.

Pastor Maddoux was my pastor for several years and I loved attending his services. He also Baptized me in 1986 which was a special time in my life. I heard of his passing to late to attend any visitation or his funeral service. Pastor Maddoux will always hold a special place in my heart because I chose him to be my first spiritual leader. May God comfort all of the family and friends of Luther Maddoux.

My dearest double-first cousin, Luther, by now you have probably seen all our relatives and friends, and the people you led to Christ, but I know if you had a choice to come back to us or stay in Heaven, we know you would choose Heaven! I am going to miss your everyday prayer for each one of us as you called us by name to God. I know death is part of life, but it certainly hurts those who are left. A thousand years to God is as one day to us, so we will see you soon! Your double-first cousin, Lois Maddoux Theiler

I have enjoyed my relationship with the dear pastor as his primary physician , brother in Christ , and friend. The clinic staff in Lumberton will miss his gentleness , goodness , & compassion for all he encountered. My day was always better for having seen him ! My life has been better for having known Jesus manifested in him , but now a shade darker since he has been called home to glory. We grieve & pray for Joyce and all his family ! Dr. Joe Finley

Pastor Luther Maddoux was my grandmothers pastor in Texarkana, AR when I was a child. I had the utmost love and respect for him. I am sad for his passing but not his destination. Thank you Bro. Maddoux for letting me always come by to hug you as we left to go back to Houston. He touched my heart and life for God. May God give Sis. Maddoux and the entire Maddoux family comfort and strength as only He can do. One last time, I love you Bro. Maddoux.
