Quote

If we judge our lives by what we know or by what we say, we can easily deceive ourselves into thinking that we are something we are not it is wiser to evaluate ourselves by the amount of truth we actually live. This is very humbling.

A man is saved only by faith ... only by faith.
Paul Washer
Image
You love to listen to the very same things that nailed your supposed Savior to the tree?
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
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
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
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
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
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
Then they ask, Do you want Jesus to come into your heart? Does it bother anyone that this formula or language is not found in the New Testament?
Paul Washer
Image
The question is not whether you would like to pray this prayer and ask Jesus to come into your heart - after all, you know, the handle to your heart is on the inside and if you do not open it Jesus cannot come in. My friend, Jesus is Lord of your heart and if He wants to come in, He will kick the door down.
Paul Washer
Image
I have never met an old saint who regretted having spent too much time in prayer, but I have met many who regretted having spent too little!
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 of you live your life on flimsy little songs, not upon the word of God.
Paul Washer
Image
Everybody wants to go to heaven. They just don't want God to be there when they get there.
Paul Washer
Image
It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.
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
American Christianity is based more on a godless culture than it is the word of God.
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
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
