His CONSISTENCY in telling the truth makes me respect this man.

Paul Washer always speaks to the heart of the matter.
Not concerned too much with "how it will be received", but more concerned with speaking truth.

[chasechance]

By the grace of God I somehow found Paul Washer decently early after I was truly converted. His preaching was hard to listen to but it was truth and the truth sets people free. All glory to God

The greatest gift after being saved for me was finding Paul Washers preaching. I first turned to false preachers, but came across Paul Washer online and he became like a spiritual father to me. So thankful for his ministry.

Praise God for this man who speaks the truth. There’s so many woke pastors now that have watered down the Word to appease the masses rather than offending the masses with the truth of Scripture to please the Lord.

[islaamore]

Indeed! Many pastors/churches are so worried about the sentiments of their congregation rather than teaching/preaching about the salvation of God... where the spirit of the Lord is there is freedom, chains are broken and eyes are open. Don’t be transformed by the world...

[connie]

I agree with Paul Washer 100%plus!!! The church needs Pastors who have a fear of the Lord and preaches God's truth no matter what!

[dsnggE]

Did not expect that answer, but that is spot on.

[hyunhoim]

The pastor is speaking the truth. As a pastor myself, I agree. Many church members do not know. They do not know how many bad people there are among pastors. I know because I have experienced it myself. There are indeed many bad people among the pastors I work with. But the church members do not know. Perhaps this pastor has also felt this way seeing many fellow workers. Amen.

[barbaraburke]

Amen, so true, and Paul Washer is right. Many pastors are taking things of God lightly, and have no reverence to true doctrine of God. And, those who hold this office are in stricter judgement as well. And, sadly, many are deceived in the midst and led astray too by them. There's no fear of God in them either. God bless you Brother Paul Washer and your ministry.

[ElenaBaumann]

Amen... And we, the church members, should pray more for our pastors.

"But Moses’ hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.
Exodus 17:12‭-‬13 ESV

I appreciate brother Paul's straight talking and his passion for the church and for the gospel even thought I wouldn't necessarily reside in the same 'Reformed' theological stable as him. He's definitely hit the proverbial nail on the head regarding the churches greatest threat in this generation! Leonard Ravenhill once said regarding this subject; "A river will never rise higher than it's source."

[daughterofsarah]

True...our pastors doesn't lead like true shepherds does...but truth also is, we need to follow Jesus..our pastors responsibility as well as our own

[cassandraburton]

In the late 1980’s I and my two very young daughters were left for dead by a group of pastors/elders. Our Lord saw and knows and that to me is all that matters. However, He chose to share His heart a little on the matter, and two things in particular were given. Bless Him for He took me to Ezekiel 34 and secondly made me also aware of the Jezebel spirit and how it worked. I was almost afraid to believe it at the time thinking Our Lord would punish us for thinking thus of the church. Over time, of course, this is plain. Since that time we still cannot overcome the damage but that is o.k as we don’t try and be part of it all anymore and just thank Him for keeping us. He never leaves us and is indeed the true Shepherd. Thankyou Paul Washer for having a lowly heart, I admire that. ❤️from Australia.

[harshatom]

It's true that we have to uphold ministers in our daily prayer....

[ramalama]

This man is sincere and telling a truth that few have to courage to speak of!

[oneagleswings]

Thanks brother Paul, hope to shake your hand one day, stay burdened and finish strong.

[margcarter]

Amen! Sadly some churches have postponed the Prayer Meetings during the summer! What? A sad indictment on the Body of Christ!

[snooksmcmillan]

Won't ever meet you on this earth. But will in heaven. Ty so much

“The reformers didn’t wanna be reformers, they just wanted to be biblical”

This should be hung at the door, so radicalists stay outside. We are radically on the side of God and His Word, we dont have and dont want a spirit of rebellion against authority.
