I have given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.
Paul Washer

Christ's lordship is a blessed hope for some & a terrifying nightmare for others. Regardless of our response, it is an unalterable reality.
Paul Washer

People tell me judge not lest ye be judged. I always tell them, twist not scripture lest ye be like satan
Paul Washer

The Christian ministry is difficult, and we must not be lazy or trite. However, we often place burdens upon ourselves and make demands upon ourselves that are not according to the will of God. The more I know God and understand His perfect work on my behalf, the more I am able to rest.

We have taken that truth, that if you truly believe and you confess Christ even if it costs you your life ... we have taken that beautiful truth and reduced it down to, If you pray a little prayer before a bunch of people in a church in America, you can be guaranteed you were saved if you think you were sincere.

If someone is truly converted, they will publicly confess Christ in word and deed. That does not mean presenting them in front of the church on the night of their supposed conversion.

Next, they'll say, Do you want to go to heaven? Have you ever had anybody say, No, I'd rather go to hell. My friend, understand this, everyone wants to go to heaven. They just don't want God to be there when they get there.
Paul Washer

If Jesus Christ isn't strong enough to motivate you to live biblically, you don't know Him at all.

Idolatry is when you become the source of your own joy. Poverty of spirit is a wonderful thing.
Paul Washer

Everybody wants to go to heaven. They just don't want God to be there when they get there.
Paul Washer
Image
Again, the moment a person calls on the Lord he is saved. But the evidence is not that one time in their life they were sincere when they prayed a prayer. The evidence of their salvation is ... is there genuine repentance? Is there faith? And do both those evangelical graces continue on in their life and grow?
Paul Washer
Image
Remember this: you must always be growing in the gospel and your knowledge of it. It is not Christianity 101, but Christianity from A to Z. You have not mastered the gospel, nor will you master it, but it will master you!
Paul Washer
Image
You mark my words, and it won’t be long ... when persecution begins in this country [USA], and it strips everything from you, and most of the evangelical church goes totally apostate, and little groups are left to be berated, THEN you will see that Christ is enough.
Paul Washer
Image
I would not trade the difficult years for all the prosperity in the world. God knows what each one of us must suffer in order to be conformed to the image of Christ.
Paul Washer
Image
But I got saved that way! No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.
Paul Washer

Anytime your banner becomes anything other than Jesus Christ you ought to be afraid of Hell. If your banner is “I'm a Calvinist”, if your banner is “I'm a homeschooler”, if your banner is this, that, or anything else, if you're rallying under any other name than Jesus Christ you're in danger. You are in danger!

If following Jesus Christ doesn't cost you anything, it's because you've bought into 'American Christianity.'
