I love the Clark Brothers Music. I read a comment about Brother Clark doing the 900 psychic thing and I disagree. I brought my cousin to a service and right away Brother Clark walked up to him and ask him the question,"Who is Roger?" My cousin replied," I am." He was then prayed for and my cousin Roger who had a spinal fusion done was able to work for the first time in a long time and has for the last 20 years. Jesus did it. I am thankful
that he used Bro.Clark and so is Roger's wife and four children. They were able to live
on more than disability growing up.

No, it's not just you.

I think that if I were talented and offered secular opportunities, I'd have to make sure that if I said yes, it would be under very strict conditions.

For instance, Sam Cooke was regarded as the best in his time for his genre. He'd probably be alive today if he had made the personal decision to just kept some sort, dare I say, standard about his life and profession.


Honestly though, I'd probably turn secular down-- especially if I was already experiencing success in Christian/Gospel circles.

The problem with "finding Jesus" in a bar is that now the bar becomes, not necessarily sacred, but it becomes a place where one could connect their new found faith to and come up with the notion that going to the bar is not bad at all-- "Look at me!! I found Jesus on my 3rd mug of Guinness right here on this stool!! I'll never forget that night!!"


I can just see the testimony now....

"Raise your Heineken if you can be a witness..."

Disagree on your disagreement.

Doesn't sound like a bad testimony to me - until you added the silly quote at the end....
