"But I got saved that way!" No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.
Paul WasherHow 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? โฆHow many times have I heard evangelists say, โItโll only take five minutes.โ? No my dear friend, it will take your lifeโall of it!
Paul WasherDoes our Gospel presentation make men excited about what God can do for them on this earth, or about whom God is?
Paul WasherYou ask me 'Whatโs the the greatest act of faith?' To me is to look in the mirror of Godโs word, and see all my faults, all my sin, all my shortcomings and to believe that God loves me exactly as he says he does.
Paul WasherThe differing opinions regarding the gospel are often categorized as different variations of the same truth, or coming at the same truth from different angles, or even emphasizing different aspects of the same truth. This fails to recognize that the different 'variations' are often altogether different gospels. The Reformed gospel is completely different from the Roman Catholic gospel; a faith-based gospel is in direct contradiction to a works-based gospel; a truly evangelical gospel stands in contrast to an ultracharismatic gospel.
Paul WasherEntering 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?
