In 21st century America, there’s no preacher quite like Paul Washer to call us out for friendship with the world.
Exhibit A, from a 2002 youth evangelism conference. It has become known as The Shocking Message, and no, he was not invited back.
In 2019, Paul is no less passionate and no less incisive in his call for heart obedience and self sacrifice in service to Christ.
“I will not turn [the baton of Gospel ministry] over to some smooth-handed boy who has not prepared for battle.”
. . .
“I’m not a life coach. This is about life and death. This is about heaven and hell. This is about standing before the God of the universe…and being rejected, or being accepted. This is about loyalty or betrayal.”
Paul Washer
