about that church. You know why people leave this church? You know why? It's not because
I'm too smooth. It's because I got too hairy. That's why they leave. It's true.
These bunch of little punks, these little arrogant, little pompous, little girly men
who can't take hard preaching, they can't take anybody ever telling them they're wrong,
they can't take anybody who's a man who says, hey, I'm not a reed shaking with the wind
here, I'm a man of God here, and I'm going to preach it and do it the way the Bible says
or hit the road, Jack, because that door swings both ways. And let me tell you something,
if you think this preacher's too hairy, then hit the road. You know, if I'm too hairy for
you, I don't know what to tell you. I don't think I'm the hairiest preacher that's ever
been known to man. I don't think I'm as hairy as Elijah was. I don't think I'm as hairy
as John the Baptist was. If you can't handle this level of hairiness, I'll give you directions
to Calvary Chapel or wherever you want to go. And you know what the difference is between
Faithful Word Baptist Church and the other independent fundamental Baptist churches in
Phoenix? You know what the difference is? Smooth versus hairy. That's the difference.
Because most of the doctrine's going to be the same, or a lot of the doctrine's going
to be the same. But here you've got a hairy preacher. But guess what? Some people don't
like a hairy preacher. That's why it says in 2 Timothy 4, go to 2 Timothy 4. And while
you're turning there, I'll read you this. It says, you know, what went ye out for to
see a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in king's
houses. But what went ye out for to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than
a prophet. He said in verse 11, verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women,
there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist. Now is saying, he that is least
in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. What a stupid reason to leave a church. The
pastor was too mean. Thank God you have a mean pastor. You know, the pastor was too
mean. Not the doctrine was wrong. Not the soul winning was wrong. Not the preaching
was wrong. Not the music was wrong. Not that the Bible was wrong. It's just that he was
too mean. You little cry baby. If that's where you feel right now, that I'm too mean
and you're of the male gender, if you're a woman, okay, I'll cock you after the service
and smooth it over with you. But you know what, it's like, if you're a man today and
you think that I'm too mean, then get out of here you little cry baby and go to a little
wussy little church that will tell you what you want to hear. And come here and you'll
get the truth and you'll get it from somebody who maybe is a little hairier than you want
them to be sometimes. I'd rather have a preacher that was too hairy than too smooth if I had
to choose between the two. Because you know, all you have to do is just knuckle under and
just take it if it's a little too hairy for you. Just suck it up and be a man and take
it.
