O no. You are not going to pull the wool over my eyes just because there is passion in his voice. I want a preacher who has a life that backs up his mouth. If you want to be holy, then don't pick and choose which sins you are going to blast. You had better walk straight before God. I would encourage this long haired hippie to get out his Bible and actually preach from it. You need to know why you preach what you do.
And just when I think you can't again, you still end up amazing me with your hateful judgmental attitudes, and about someone you even know nothing about. I really hope you're just saying that to stir something up and don't really believe what you just said. Because if you are serious, you're a Pharisee to the bone and should be concerned about your relationship with the Lord.

I've seen him quote a bewildering number of scriptures within one sermon, all from memory. I've seen him read out full chapters and deal with scriptures that most preachers wouldnt bother about mentioning in a regular sermon. Maybe they would while teaching on some subject at bible school. He is also good at discussing context for verses. He is very different to the type that keeps quoting a handful of proof verses like some wof types do. His messages are typically evangelistic but they dont involve pop psychology or strange theories. He seems very sound. If one forgets about his hair then he comes across more as an old school pentecostal than a crazy charismatic, when he is on a pulpit. And no, there is nothing hippie-like about him, that is a completely different generation.

To someone who has a good grasp of scripture, it is easy to tell that he does practically nothing but quote or discuss scripture all the time in that message. I've watched 15 minutes of it so far.

Absolutely. He doesn't pause and say in his best pastoral voice, "Let us now turn to...." He just constantly speaks the word, which we are told in Scripture will accomplish what it is sent out to do. (A bit paraphrased)

Actually he does that too, then quotes some other scripture while looking up the one he told them to turn to. But he usually does that when he is going to work his way through a passage or a chapter, Mat 5 in this case.

I'm not sure where the 'rule' is that you have to actually go to a Bible and read from it for a sermon to be from the scripture and scriptural. It's perfectly fine to quote scripture. It's also perfectly fine for what one is saying to be scriptural without actually reading from it. Jesus went to the synagogue some, and He maybe used the scrolls when He did (we know He did in Nazareth) but we don't know if He did all the time. And most of the time He wasn't in the synagogue but on the street. Paul, Peter, etc, didn't preach from scrolls all the time either, probably the majority of the time. That's just a religious mindset.
