Best 154 quotes of Paul Washer on MyQuotes

A $50 haircut, cool glasses, skinny jeans and a tattoo does not a prophet make.

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.

A Christian who does not pray is like prince in beggars clothes who stands but a few inches from His father's throne and yet does not ask.

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?

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?

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?

A lot of people think that Christianity is you doing all the righteous things you hate and avoiding all the wicked things you love in order to go to Heaven. No, that's a lost man with religion. A Christian is a person whose heart has been changed; they have new affections.

A man is saved only by faith ... only by faith.

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

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!

Are we willing to risk being misunderstood and maligned in order that truth might be told and men might be saved? Identifying a malady and explaining its seriousness are always the first steps to finding a cure... God has ordained that men come to conviction of sin, repentance, and saving faith through preaching. Yet how can the [Holy] Spirit use our preaching if we are not willing to expose sin or call men to repentance?

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.

Avoid trivial pursuits. You are a child of God, destined for glory, and called to do great things in His Name. Do not waste your life on hobbies, sports, and other recreational pursuits. Do not throw away the precious moments of your life on entertainment, movies, and video games. Though some of these things can properly have a 'small place' in the Christian's life, we must be careful not to give undue attention to temporal and fruitless activities. Do not waste your life. Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God.

"But I got saved that way!" No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.

Can you honestly tell me that your great desire is to be holy? Can you honestly tell me your great desire is to not be like the world, but to be like Jesus Christ? Because if you cannot, you should be afraid. Those who love the world do not have the love of the Father (1 John 2:15).

Christ is not knocking on the door of a sinner's heart, but on the door of a wayward church.

Christ's lordship is a blessed hope for some & a terrifying nightmare for others. Regardless of our response, it is an unalterable reality.

Don't touch the ark of God! It is the God of Israel who is wounding people with regards to their sin. Do NOT comfort the soul that God is breaking.

Everywhere......everyone you meet....is a potential brother or sister in CHRIST.

God is an inexhaustible source of all we need. Our unbelief is discovered in how little we avail ourselves of this infinite fountain

He is the creator, and sustainer and Lord of all things and He is worthy of your honor and obedience.

Holiness is not merely a feeling, state of mind, or good intention. It involves practical separation from sin and real separation unto God.

How can you learn unconditional love if you’re married to a woman who meets all your conditions?

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!

How dare we, all these stupid evangelists walking around telling men after they've made some little prayer that they need to write their name in the back of their Bible, and put the date and if the devil ever comes to them, they need to show him that. That is Roman superstition, it is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. You see, we've turned the gospel into a flu-shot.

How would you ever learn unconditional love if you were married to someone who met all the conditions?

I believe alot of churches in America are not churches.

Idolatry is when you become the source of your own joy. Poverty of spirit is a wonderful thing.

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

If a person professes faith in Christ and yet falls away or makes no progress in godliness, it does not mean that he has lost his salvation. It reveals that he was never truly converted.

If following Jesus Christ doesn't cost you anything, it's because you've bought into 'American Christianity.'

If Jesus Christ isn't strong enough to motivate you to live biblically, you don't know Him at all.

If someone is truly converted, they will publicly confess Christ in word and deed. That does not mean presenting them in front of the church on the night of their supposed conversion.

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.'

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.

If you give them a God made in their own image, I guarantee they'll accept Him. But He won't be the God who saves.

If you have made the good profession, if you claimed to have passed through the gate, if you have received baptism in a public declaration of your faith, and you begin to walk-it doesn't matter how long it appears you're walking in that path-if you step off that path and there's no discipline and you continue on that path, you can have no assurance whatsoever of your salvation. And it is not that you lost your salvation, it's that you're showing now that you never had it. If we would only preach these truths

If you're going to choose your friends, you better choose them well, because when you look at your friends, you're looking at a mirror reflection. You're looking at you; you are looking at you.

I have given God countless reasons not to love me. None of them has been strong enough to change Him.

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

In modern day evangelism, this precious doctrine [of regeneration] has been reduced to nothing more than a human decision to raise one's hand, walk an aisle, or pray a 'sinner's prayer.' As a result, the majority of Americans believe that they've been 'born again' even though their thoughts, words, and deeds are a continual contradiction to the nature and will of God.

I now understand more of our calling. The weakest instruments are chosen to do the greatest works so that the glory might go to God.

In that moment of salvation, of belief, they are opening their lives to the person of Jesus.

In the gospel of Jesus, sincere and costly discipleship always accompanies genuine conversion. The gospel of Jesus teaches men that a mere profession of faith alone is no sound evidence of salvation.

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

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.

It is only against the pitch blackness of the night that we see the glory of the stars. And it is only against the pitch blackness of man's radical depravity that we can begin to see the glories of the gospel.

It’s absolutely absurd to say you are a disciple of Jesus Christ yet not bear the fruit of Jesus Christ.

It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.

It’s not comparing yourself with others who call themselves Christians. Compare yourself to the Scripture.
