Quote

When we realize what we were before Christ and what we deserved in that state, it further magnifies the enormity of the gospel for us.

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
This country is no more saved than well ... it's as lost as they say in Alabama, ... as lost as a ball in tall grass.
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
Over the epitaph of this generation it will say ENTERTAINED TO DEATH.
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

How can you learn unconditional love if you’re married to a woman who meets all your conditions?
Paul Washer
Image
Christ is not knocking on the door of a sinner's heart, but on the door of a wayward church.
Paul Washer
Image
The person that I most admire is Jesus Christ. He is the only perfect Person. There is simply no comparison. The difference between Him and all other men is not merely quantitative, but qualitative. He is in a category all to Himself.
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
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
American Christianity is based more on a godless culture than it is the word of God.
Paul Washer
Image
Idolatry is when you become the source of your own joy. Poverty of spirit is a wonderful thing.
Paul Washer
Image
You are a steward of every moment, of every talent, of every gift, of every resource that God has given you. Chose wisely what you do today!
Paul Washer
Image
God saved you for Himself God saved you by Himself God saved you from Himself.
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!
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
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

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
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
All my weak days have a common cause - I have neglected communion with God through my neglect of the Scriptures & prayer. When will I learn?
