Paul Washer Quotes

“He [Jesus] knew no sin. Do you realize this? There has never been one moment in your life— not one moment in your life that wasn’t tainted by sin. And yet, there never was a moment in His life that was tainted by sin! Someone asked me a long time ago, "What is the greatest sin you can commit?" And all of a sudden it just popped in my head so I said it— I said, “Well, I suppose the greatest sin you could commit is to break the greatest commandment that’s ever been given: to love the Lord your God with all you heart, soul, mind, and strength.” Do you realize there’s never been one moment in your life that you have loved God as God ought to be loved? To even suggest that you have is paramount to blasphemy. You have never loved God in a way that God deserves to be loved. But there was never one moment in the life of the man Jesus Christ that He did not love God as God deserves to be loved! You think Jesus is great? He’s greater than you know...”

“Nothing is more important than your Godliness, and doing whatever you have to do to keep those images from coming into your head -no, you do live in the World; you can't go live in a commune in the mountain. But there are certain things you can do, and those things you can do you need to do.”

“What is a true Biblical man? I've written here: Having been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and brought to repentance toward God in Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the true man is marked by death to self, love for God and his fellow man, a passion for the honour of God, the advancement of the Kingdom of God, and the doing of the will of God.

This is something that I have used for a long time, this next thing, to govern my life. And I just wanted to read it to you:
The Biblical man is not one who zealously throws himself into some missionary endeavour or crusade for social change. There are concentric circles of concern in our responsibility before God, and we are to work from the inside out in accordance with the providence of God. What do I mean by that? How are men to advance the Kingdom and subdue the Earth? There is an order according to the providence of God. I am a married man, and I have children. My marriage AND my children are results of God's absolute sovereignty in my life.”

“You ought to be able to stand up today and testify that one of the chief characteristics of God's work in your life is that He has spent these years cleansing you from filthiness and destroying idols in your life. And sometimes He's done it like a wrecking ball. He will take no prisoners. He will do whatever is necessary to purify His people - so the goal is conformity.

But I want you to realise something - although it is God who is at work in us, we are also called to be deliberate, and to be disciplined. If you look just for a moment at 1 Timothy 4:7-8.”
