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

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
The evidence of conversion is not a decision card filled out, it's a life being lived out.
Paul Washer
Image
Most people today in our churches are lost, and they demonstrate that they are lost because their entire Christianity is nothing more than, 'They made a decision.'
Paul Washer
Image
If the devil walks in and starts pointing out all kinds of things about you, you yawn. And you go, 'You don’t even know the half of it.'
Paul Washer
Image
We are given so few years on this earth, and there are so many good things that get in the way of the best things. We must live for eternity.
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
We as Americans are the wealthiest Christians who ever walked on the face of the earth. We are the most protected Christians that ever walked on the face of the earth, and yet we are the emptiest Christians who ever walked on the face of the earth.
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
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
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
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
Salvation is a work of God to show His glory. That’s why He’s not going to let it fail.
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
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
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!

You have Jesus and Jesus has you or you are barren and wasted and lost!
Paul Washer

Idolatry is when you become the source of your own joy. Poverty of spirit is a wonderful thing.
Paul Washer
Image
Men and women who are used of GOD, if I had only a few words to describe them, they are the passionate-weak, they are the violently-desperate.
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
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!
