Image
A true Christian will be sensitive to the sin in their life and it will lead them to brokenness and genuine confession, but the person who says they are a Christian and are not sensitive to sin, it does not lead them to confession, a person who is that way is not a Christian.

You cannot learn doctrine well until you follow the doctrine you learn!
Paul Washer
Image
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.
Paul Washer
Image
The work is hindered. The glory of God is tarnished and it is because the people of God no longer know how to discern the things of God.
Paul Washer
Image
I don't want revival...I WANT CHRIST! And if we have Christ, there will be a revival.
Paul Washer
Image
People who only listen to preachers have a tendency to put them on a pedestal, but those who live with preachers recognize that they are just common men.
Paul Washer
Image
The question is not, Do you know you are a sinner? the question is this, As you have heard me preach the Gospel, has God so worked in your life that the sin you once loved you now hate?
Paul Washer
Image
Can you honestly tell me that your great desire is to be holy? Can you honestly tell me your great desire is to not be like the world, but to be like Jesus Christ? Because if you cannot, you should be afraid. Those who love the world do not have the love of the Father (1 John 2:15).

We don't have a lot of churches in America we have a lot of really nice brick buildings on finely manicured lawns! Just because someone says they are of the Church or they are Christian, doesn't make it so.
Paul Washer
Image
Everybody wants to go to heaven. They just don't want God to be there when they get there.
Paul Washer
Image
Don't touch the ark of God! It is the God of Israel who is wounding people with regards to their sin. Do NOT comfort the soul that God is breaking.
Paul Washer
Image
Entering in the narrow gate is allowing Him to define your life, and not in general terms. See, there's your problem. 'Oh, Jesus is everything to me, and Jesus is Lord.' Okay, specifically though, explain to me what that means: what has it cost you, how have you changed your life from the course the rest of the world is walking in?
Paul Washer
Image
When Jesus Christ comes back, it is not the liberal politicians who ought to be trembling, it's the pastors…because so many men have built their 'ministries' on the dry dead bones of unconverted church members.
Paul Washer
Image
I have never met an old saint who regretted having spent too much time in prayer, but I have met many who regretted having spent too little!
Paul Washer
Image
How many people do you know believe they're going to heaven because, they're not trusting so much in Christ as they are the sincerity of the decision they made a long time ago?
Paul Washer
Image
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.
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!

The great truths of Christianity do not belong to the professional theologians alone, but to every person who calls upon the name of Christ.
Paul Washer
Image
The moment when you take your first step through the gates of hell, the only thing you will hear is all of creation standing to its feet and applauding and praising God because God has rid the earth of you. That's how not good you are.
Paul Washer
Image
How could we have such a low view of the gospel of Jesus Christ that we have to manipulate men psychologically to get them to come down and pray a prayer? …How many times have I heard evangelists say, “It’ll only take five minutes.”? No my dear friend, it will take your life–all of it!
