I LOVE Verbal Bean...I "get" him!

I am just venturing, as I shared in my initial post, into OP waters.
I can't remember who pointed me to Verbal Bean, and I can't find the thread.

BUT, I LOVE VERBAL BEAN (I know he has passed.)!!!
I am reading the Holy Ghost book based on his messages on HOLY GHOST MINISTRY.
His experiences and teaching is very close to the path I have been on, but I have never heard ANYONE else share these things. Are there other "Verbal Beans" out there?
Such a blessing!
HAS ANYONE SAT IN VERBAL'S MEETINGS? If so, please share memories.

There are not many VB fans here. There are no VB's out there. Today's church does not have room for that kind of ministry.

I heard him preach many times. Was a wonderful man.

My view of him may be biased. The only message I ever heard from him was his classic "The pot that scums" which was a typical UC message aimed at blaming all the churches troubles at the "sheep" for not following the "man of god".

However, there are enough people I respect who genuinely like VB, that I may need to listen to a few more messages to get the bigger picture.

Today's church does need and still has the ministry that VB had. Preachers May not have the same personality exactly like him but the type of ministry is still in the church today

Lol...I could be wrong but I think that message was called " scum in the pot "

I first thought it was called "The scummy pot". I guess there are more than a few versions floating around....

Some personality he must have had. People showed up to his funeral to make sure he was dead.
