The church is in trouble-that's what they say anyways. The problem is most of what they call the church is not the church, and the church is not quite as in trouble as everybody thinks. As a matter of fact, the church today is absolutely beautiful-she's glorious, she's humble, she's broken, and she's confessing her sin. The problem is what everybody's calling the church today isn't the church. Basically, by and large, what's called the church today is nothing more than a bunch of unconverted church people with unconverted pastors.
Paul WasherTo receive the gospel is to receive an entirely different view of reality where Christ is the epicenter of all things. He becomes the center of our universe, the source, the purpose, the goal, and the motivation of all that we are and do. When a man receives the gospel, his entire life begins to be lived out in a different context, and that context is Christ.
Paul WasherThe man who has truly believed in his heart ... his life will be marked by a biblical confession of Christ in word and deed.
Paul WasherThe evidence of justification by faith is the ongoing work of sanctification through the Holy Spirit.
Paul WasherWe find or invent the cleverest means of attributing our sins to anything or anyone outside of ourselves.
