I have had my share of these Verbal Bean wannabees who have not the dedication nor the call and has ruined things. He did what God called him to do his humility is poured out in the midst of his strong preaching. The man would weep like Jeremiah preaching. But these wannabes could shed a tear over their dead mother and them swinging the ball bat is not impressive at least to me.

I think you are spot on Brother E. People listen to a message like this one and do so without either understanding who he was preaching to, nor who the man acutally was. They use the context of their own bias. Thus it is very easy to dismiss Brother Bean as something other than what he was, and therefore refuse to accept the word he gave. that is very sad.

I was told he said at a meeting once "You young preachers need to understand when you are hearing this hard preaching we are not doing this all the time in our churches it would kill them." These wannabees never heard this.

or really cared, I am afraid. There is a vast difference between a man who loves God and the saints deeply and a man who loves being a preacher.
