Stoneking was in Midland Michigan last week...
 
Some of my friends from church went to hear Stoneking preach at Midland last Saturday. They had asked me if I wanted to go and I declined due to other obligations, plus he'll he preaching at a church one city away in June.

Anyway, they drove 2 hours (one way) to hear him preach on... hair. I'll have the CD hopefully tonight and upload it. It was noted by my friend (an avid Stoneking fan) that Stoneking said he didn't believe there were any "additional blessings" associated with hair. I'll have to listen myself to confirm.

Another buddy of mine who went said that he saw at least three people who weren't "in church" (evident by their clothing and hair) that walked out 15 minutes in the the message.

Saddens me a bit, we need to preach Jesus.

He is supposed to preach at my parents church this summer. Not sure if I will go or not. I have only been to their church one time and it was very much a "pentecostal" service so I am sure Stoneking will fit right in there.

As far as someone actually walking into his office and confronting him about it (in a good spirit, or even not), I highly doubt it has happened. The politics with LS run too deep and those who complain about his HMH in private will "amen!" him in public.

I could be wrong about the confronting issue, but I doubt it.

It's funny you say that. I attend a small church and like I said before, he'll be right down the street. Were trying to schedule a round table discussion with him, but the main agenda is Spiritual Gifts. I am going to compile a list of questions for him regarding his view on hair. I am a nobody in the realm of Pentecostal Politics, but here's hoping.

Lee Stoneking is a Pentecostal Celebrity. I have several good friends who practically worship this man, kissing the ground he walks on. They even started a "Fan Club" and would almost faint if he laid his hands on them.

I've heard him preach many times (in person), and he's a Showboat (what draws the crowd).

Whenever men reach this level in Religion, they become untouchable for the most part, creating an Idol mentallity. This leads to a false image of what the ministry is truly about, causing the young to want the spotlight and the stage.

I've heard Bro Stoneking preach Jesus many times. I would be happy to go hear him preach if he ever comes to my area again. Bro Stoneking is an awesome Man of God and I admire and respect him as do many many other people. :thumbsup

I used to admire and respect the man but I have fallen. Please pray for me that I will catch the Holy Magic Hair bug so I can once again feel comfortable going to his meetings and shouting every time he mentions the magic hair stuff :nah

I have only heard L Stoneking in person once way back in I believe 1990 at BOTT. I have watched or listened to him online probably another four or five times in the last few years.

Elvis had the same effect. So did Michael Jackson.... and the Beatles. The people who fall over themselves upon hearing, seeing, and feeling the warm hot breath of LS on their face at the alter do no recognize it is the exact same spirit as in the other three examples. The spirit of 'Celebrity'. (Which isn't altogether bad if you recognize what it is and put it in its proper place.)

I would have loved my father to have been around to here this guy. He would have done the same thing I did in the early 90's, I started laughing right out loud during his sermon. It was that far off base...

Didn't you hear? Romulas was destroyed. Thus the mighty vengence heaped upon Spock and his home world of Vulcan.

Oh Randy you speak gibberish.....There was no such thing as Romulas....it was made up. But if it were true all the women would have magic hair, right?

That might have been the counterpoint to the fact that the Romulans from the future were all bald and tattooed. What's with that?

Hmmm...never thought I'd come back and post here...but, curiosity and an extremely boring day at work has got the best of. Yes, there is one person I know who has confronted LS on the hair issue. However, people will believe what they want to believe.

Was he hostile toward LS? Or was it done in a proper manner?
