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.
Paul Washer

The problem is, even when we preach the Gospel correctly, then we go to this thing on how to invite men and it's not biblical or historical. We get them to jump through some evangelical hoops and say, yes to the appropriate questions and we pope-ishly announce them to be saved.
Paul Washer

It’s not comparing yourself with others who call themselves Christians. Compare yourself to the Scripture.
Paul Washer
Image
The Lord continues to empty us in order to teach us to lay aside all self-reliance, that we may cling to Christ alone.
Paul Washer

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

American Christianity is based more on a godless culture than it is the word of God.
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!

God saved you for Himself God saved you by Himself God saved you from Himself.
Paul Washer

Salvation is a work of God to show His glory. That’s why He’s not going to let it fail.
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
We find or invent the cleverest means of attributing our sins to anything or anyone outside of ourselves.
Paul Washer
Image
The evidence that a person has truly opened their life to Christ is continued fellowship with Christ.
Paul Washer
Image
The truth is this: I am a Southern Baptist, and the great majority of Southern Baptists are lost.
Paul Washer
Image
If you're going to choose your friends, you better choose them well, because when you look at your friends, you're looking at a mirror reflection. You're looking at you you are looking at you.
Paul Washer
Image
It is absurd to think that a man can believe in Christ, with his heart, and it not have a radical affect on the rest of his life.
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
If Jesus Christ isn't strong enough to motivate you to live biblically, you don't know Him at all.
Paul Washer
Image
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!
