More quotes by Paul Washer

Image
We cannot convince a man to believe any more than we can raise the dead. Such things are the work of God's Spirit. Men are brought to faith only through the supernatural working of God, and He has promised to work-not through human wisdom or intellectual expertise, but through the preaching of Christ crucified and resurrected from the dead!
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
A man is saved only by faith ... only by faith.
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
Image
Everywhere......everyone you meet....is a potential brother or sister in CHRIST.
Paul Washer
Image
Jesus ... HIS sheep, they know His voice and they follow Him whether you disciple them or not!
Paul Washer
Image
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.
Paul Washer
Image
When preachers teach biblically and clearly about the judgment of God and the dangers of hell, men begin to see that their greatest need is to be saved from eternal condemnation, and the more practical needs of this present age become trivial in comparison.
Paul Washer
Image
In that moment of salvation, of belief, they are opening their lives to the person of Jesus.
Paul Washer
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.
Paul Washer
Image
We have forgotten how to blush
Paul Washer
Image
We deal five minutes with a person and their conversion and then we spend the next fifty years trying to disciple a goat into a sheep. I'm not saying this because I'm angry. I'm saying this because countless people are being deceived.
Paul Washer
Image
We must refuse to lean upon the broken staff of human wisdom & cling to the gospel alone as the power of God to save a hardened humanity.
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
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.

A $50 haircut, cool glasses, skinny jeans and a tattoo does not a prophet make.
Paul Washer
Image
We find or invent the cleverest means of attributing our sins to anything or anyone outside of ourselves.
Paul Washer
Image
If Jesus Christ isn't strong enough to motivate you to live biblically, you don't know Him at all.
Paul Washer
Image
You cannot learn doctrine well until you follow the doctrine you learn!
Paul Washer
Image
A Christian is not somebody who stays away from all the wicked things he loves and clings to all the righteous things he hates so that he can go to heaven. The fear of the Christian is not going to hell. The fear of the Christian is being separated from Christ.
Paul Washer
