Clarence E. McClendon

Jesus said "Why do you call me good, only God is good", when questioned by a young man. First and foremost you must look to God directly for yourself. When you do this and you realize the true radical nature of Jesus and the kingdom, you'll see that Mcclendon has the same spirit as the one Jesus has and now yourself also.
How many boring, "practical", non power filled b.s. sermons can you people listen to? If you dont know what I'm talking about you might not ever. Reread the book of John. Let me give you a taste. "A servant is not greater than his master, but when he is fully trained he will be just like him". Again "The works that I do, you shall do also, and greater works than these". Do you think he was refering to his carpenter days? He goes on throughout explaining that his followers will cast out demons, perform miracles, speak in tongues and other great exploits. He basically tells the pharisees not to believe he is the Son of God if he doesnt do the works of God and the like.
This kind of Christianity is rare. I know there are probably many preachers who abuse these kind of powerful messages, but to disregard "faith" and clasify these as heretical, is to disregard the most powerful books and passages in the Bible.
Clarence is definitely the best preacher I have ever heard and I can hardly stand listening to any others on T.V. For those who havent heard him I strongly recomend it. It is a great change from classical, weak, "practical", having a form of godliness but not believing the power therein, kind of Tony Robbins humanistic crap.
I have never seen a preacher as entertaining as Mcclendon, though even he and ofcourse myself are a long way from doing "Greater works than these". Never the less, I definetly feel we have the same spirit and are going in the same direction. If you have any trace of the Holy Spirit I think you would enjoy his show. The first time I heard him I thought to myself "this guy talks just like I think". Also notice the passionate opinions he generates. You either hate him or you love him. No half steppen here.
