Of course he got what he wanted from most folks. But I had to wonder, isn't the act of giving itself worship? Isn't my joining in faith with my fellow brothers and sisters worship? I decided it was and left the service immediately. It was my last service at that church after attending there for almost eight years.

The evangelist that got the whole church running once called out a young person that would later become a good friend.
He told him to stand. He looked him up and down and how nice dressed he was. He looked at his shiny shoes and said "Boy look at those shoes. I bet you never danced before. Why don't you dance right now!" and being on the spot as he was....proceeded to do a little jig. Everyone started praising God lol

How come people only run when there is music? Im all for it but why can't we worship with out the music too. We can do both...wait on God some.

It was like we were forced to scream!
It did nothing for the service at all, it fell flat and just seemed like a bunch of noise.

THAT sounds like the same feller that preaches the magic hair stuff lol

Re: Forced Worship
I'll just be honest - I have very low tolerance for this kind of stuff. I guess when it happens to they should be prepared to be called out in like manner.

Of course the same preacher was not pleased with the fervency of the prayer at a mens prayer meeting and he threw chairs too ... so... To each their own I suppose.

My Gosh! I didn't know Bobby Knight was Apostolic?????

This is probably the ONLY video of Bobby Knight at Youtube where he is not cussing every other word. How he can motivate some worship. I am sure some of his kids were praying after he got through with them

\It's my opinion that guys like that were not called to Pastor. Preach maybe but not pastor a church. It takes a certain character to pastor
