Paul Washer : Download Sermon
“If for the name of being civilized, we did not raise our voice so that someone would not think ‘unproperly’ of us, would you not HATE us that we cared more about ourselves and our own reputation than we did the welfare of your child?” – Paul Washer
Has the offense of the Cross really been taken away from our preaching? I pray that it would return. The cost of preaching? “The world against you and the church!” That is the cost of preaching the Truth of the Word! To the wind with marketing strategies and making things creative and relevant for the people! But preach the hard truth of Scripture! The fullness of the truth of the Cross, God’s holiness and sovereignty and His Attributes. Be not concerned that people would not understand, or that it is such an unpalatable message. But believe that the effectivity of preaching is not upon the abilities of men in sermon proclamation, but that it pleases God that in the foolishness of preaching of the hard truths of scripture He chose to save men, and work on the sanctification of His saints. Watch this clip from Paul Washer’s sermon, I am not Ashamed of the Scandal, where he emphatically declares the over-arching and superseding importance of the souls of men and the glory of God than people’s self-esteem and felt needs.

 Give Me Christ, Or Else I Die“He gave his only begotten Son.”—John 3. 16 Gracious Lord, incline thy ear; My requests vouchsafe to hear; Hear my never-ceasing cry; Give me Christ, or else I die. Wealth and honour I disdain, Earthly comforts, Lord, are vain; These can never satisfy; Give me Christ, or else I die. Lord, deny me what thou wilt, Only ease me of my guilt. Suppliant at thy feet I lie; Give me Christ, or else I die. All unholy and unclean, I am nothing else but sin; On thy mercy I rely; Give ... February 28, 2011

 What Can 21,000 Gospel Tracts Do?I haven't posted anything on the blog for the past two weeks. Here is the reason why. In the span of 10 days, Christ’s Glory Church, in partnership with Hope Christian Church, 21,000 Gospel tracts has been spread abroad in Metro Manila, Philippines. What can 21,000 Gospel tracts do? In the hands of men and in the power of men, nothing. Absolutely nothing. A useless endeavor. Pointless. Pathetic. Irrational. Illogical. A waste of money, energy and time. But in the ...

 May My Cry Be Always, Only Jesus! Only Jesus!O God, I bless thee for the happy moment when I first saw thy law fulfilled in Christ, wrath appeased, death destroyed, sin forgiven, my soul saved. Ever since, thou hast been faithful to me: daily have I proved the power of Jesus’ blood, daily have I known the strength of the Spirit, my teacher, director, sanctifier. I want no other rock to build upon than that I have, desire no other hope than that of gospel truth, need no other look than that which gazes ... January 26, 2011

ou’re too arrogant, insensitive and self-centered! Is it truly arrogant, mean-spirited, and proud to speak the Truth of Scripture, or are we overly concerned with the problems and self-esteem of men? Are we too concerned with what people feel as to forget importance of their souls? Does being sensitive to the congregation justify this great diservice to the Cross? Oh, that we may repent! Has this sensitivity taken away the power from our pulpits? Are we too worried that our congregations would not understand the things of God? Oh, it is far from it! They may not understand the terms or the doctrines, but if they are really Christ’s Elect the Spirit of God will nevertheless prick their hearts and work upon their Souls!
