Quote

The Lord continues to empty us in order to teach us to lay aside all self-reliance, that we may cling to Christ alone.

More quotes by 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
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 question is not, Do you want to go to heaven? The question is, Do you want God?
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
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
I have given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.
Paul Washer
Image
You mark my words, and it won’t be long ... when persecution begins in this country [USA], and it strips everything from you, and most of the evangelical church goes totally apostate, and little groups are left to be berated, THEN you will see that Christ is enough.
Paul Washer
Image
Your best friend is the one who tells you the most truth.
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
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
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 truth is this: I am a Southern Baptist, and the great majority of Southern Baptists are lost.
Paul Washer
Image
The evidence of conversion is not a decision card filled out, it's a life being lived out.
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
A $50 haircut, cool glasses, skinny jeans and a tattoo does not a prophet make.
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
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
Image
Most of you live your life on flimsy little songs, not upon the word 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?
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
