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

I don't want revival...I WANT CHRIST! And if we have Christ, there will be a revival.
Paul Washer

The truth is this: I am a Southern Baptist, and the great majority of Southern Baptists are lost.
Paul Washer
Image
God does not call men to make Jesus Lord (as though they had such power), but to live in absolute submission to the Lord He has made.
Paul Washer
Image
It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.
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
I would not trade the difficult years for all the prosperity in the world. God knows what each one of us must suffer in order to be conformed to the image of Christ.
Paul Washer

In the history of extra-biblical study and research tools there has never before been a resource as useful as the Puritan Hard Drive.

Instead of telling them God has a wonderful plan for their life - tell them who God is.
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

All the decisions you makehow many of those decisions are based on you doing simply what's right in your own eyes, and how many times specifically have you gone to Scripture looking for the answer, with regard to anything?
Paul Washer

People tell me judge not lest ye be judged. I always tell them, twist not scripture lest ye be like satan
Paul Washer

If a Work of God does NOT Continue, it was NEVER a Work of God.
Paul Washer
Image
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
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
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

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
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
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

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.
