Praise God for Paul Washer!

I've been spending quite a good bit of time lately downloading sermons from Sermon Audio. One of my personal favorite preachers is Paul Washer. Now, Paul Washer is a preacher that receives hit or miss reviews. He's the preacher people either love or hate with no in between. Some of the most common arguments against him are rather superficial or based on downright misunderstanding. We need more preachers like Paul Washer who are bold enough to rightly divide the word of truth! Here are some things you need to understand about brother Washer and his sermons:

1. If you're looking for twenty-minute sound bites you won't like him. Most of Washer's sermons are an hour in length or longer. Thank God Washer doesn't water down the Gospel message in order to fit people's schedules. Back in the day, church services didn't consist of a forty-five minute rock concert with laser light show and thirty minutes of preaching.

2. If you're looking for a sermon that will make you walk away feeling all fuzzy and happy inside then don't bother downloading any of Paul Washer's sermons. I can assure you that you will walk away feel extremely, extremely convicted.

3. If you are not striving for holiness and you're leaning on your salvation like a crutch while living a carnal life you will be chastened by Paul Washer preaching the Word of God!

In summary - Paul Washer does not preach what anyone wants to hear, but he preaches precisely what everyone needs to hear.
