Quote

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.

Image
A Theologian has nothing on a man who has experienced God
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!
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
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
AMEN, let Him take it all! He’s worthy!
Paul Washer
Image
Instead of telling them God has a wonderful plan for their life - tell them who God is.
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
But I got saved that way! No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.
Paul Washer
Image
It’s not comparing yourself with others who call themselves Christians. Compare yourself to the Scripture.
Paul Washer
Image
Most of you live your life on flimsy little songs, not upon the word of God.
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
The truth is this: I am a Southern Baptist, and the great majority of Southern Baptists are lost.
Paul Washer
Image
The question is not, Do you want to go to heaven? The question is, Do you want God?
Paul Washer
Image
We have taken the glorious gospel of our blessed God and reduced it down to four spiritual laws and five things God wants you to know, with a little superstitious prayer at the end and if someone repeats it after us with enough sincerity, we popishly declare them to be born again. We've traded regeneration for decisionism.
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
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
In that moment of salvation, of belief, they are opening their lives to the person of Jesus.
Paul Washer
Image
When preachers teach biblically and clearly about the judgment of God and the dangers of hell, men begin to see that their greatest need is to be saved from eternal condemnation, and the more practical needs of this present age become trivial in comparison.
Paul Washer
Image
The devil would gladly give a Bible to every man and promote obedience to its commands if in exchange we would surrender to him the Gospel
