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? 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 WasherMaybe that is why there are not a whole lot of problems between the church and worldly culture today, because we are not confronting the culture around us.
Paul WasherWhat is holiness? The end product of what holiness is it's to love God in the same way He loves Himself; it's to esteem God as much as He esteems Himself, and to separate yourself unto that love, and to keep yourself in that love.
Paul WasherWe live in a culture bound by sin like bands of iron. Moral stories, quaint maxims, and life lessons shared from the heart of a beloved pulpiteer or spiritual life coach have no real power against such darkness. We need preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ who know the Scriptures, and by God's grace face any culture with the cry, 'Thus saith the Lord!'
