Quote

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.

More quotes by Paul Washer

Image
You love to listen to the very same things that nailed your supposed Savior to the tree?
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
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
Your best friend is the one who tells you the most truth.
Paul Washer
Image
You may say, 'God doesn't hate anybody. God is love.' No, my friend. You need to understand something. Jesus Christ taught, the prophets taught, the apostles taught this: that apart from the grace of God revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord the only thing left for you is the wrath, the fierce anger of God because of your rebellion and your sin.
Paul Washer
Image
Holiness is not merely a feeling, state of mind, or good intention. It involves practical separation from sin and real separation unto God.
Paul Washer
Image
The question is not, Do you want to go to heaven? The question is, Do you want God?
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
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
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
It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.
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
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
We don't have a lot of churches in America we have a lot of really nice brick buildings on finely manicured lawns! Just because someone says they are of the Church or they are Christian, doesn't make it so.
Paul Washer
Image
In that moment of salvation, of belief, they are opening their lives to the person of Jesus.
Paul Washer
Image
How can you learn unconditional love if you’re married to a woman who meets all your conditions?
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
But I got saved that way! No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.
Paul Washer
Image
The evidence that a person has truly opened their life to Christ is continued fellowship with Christ.
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?
