Joel Osteen vs. Paul Washer

Anonymous said...: I am the only commenter on this piece so far... I think people are tired of hearing Paul Washer's angry diatribes against those who rejoice in the Lord. Bottom line: I think Paul Washer is angry at God for not saving his mother and he is attacking every preacher (regardless of denomination or lack thereof)that preaches the goodness of God.; October 17, 2009 at 8:18 AM
Scott Doherty said...: I think you are right, people are getting tired of hearing Paul Washer because it is Biblical truth he is preaching. People are tired of it because they want their ears tickled instead of the truth. I wouldn't judge Paul washer on his motives, it is not biblical to judge someone on motives, if you are a Christian anyway. Paul is calling out all the apostate pastors who have conformed the gospel to tell lost people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear. Also, you must not know much about Washer because he, himself, preaches on the goodness of God, because the goodness of God is one of God's attributes along with wrath, holiness, and righteousness.; October 17, 2009 at 12:49 PM
Anonymous said...: Paul Washer "attacks" preachers who would rather have their churches filled with carnal Christians than with those who repent of their sins and believe the Gospel. IMO Paul Washer isn't gaining anything from preaching in an angry state. Hes not getting rich off this and its not giving him fame. He simply wants people who are seeking Christ to see the truth.; January 27, 2013 at 2:06 PM

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.
2 Corinthians 5:11

This blog was made to share our experiences while sharing the gospel on the steet and to encourage others to "GO" into all the world and preach the gospel.

We don't want any glory for ourselves because we are very weak and can do nothing without Christ. So all the glory goes to God because He is worthy of all glory and worship. We are but grass that will wither away. We hold to what George Whitefield said, "Let me die, and let my name die with me." To God be the glory.

These are our latest experiences while sharing the gopsel on the streets. Praise God because He is at work always. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds." 2 Corinthians 10:4 Praise God for raising up men to hit the streets and boldly proclaim the gospel to every creature. I believe God is beginning to raise up people to proclaim His word boldly. It seems with all the false prophets and watered down churches of today that Christianity in America is dead. But God has raised up a remnant that is bold in the faith, sound in doctrine, and that hunger and thirst for righteousness. With the rapid increase in heresy spreading throughout the visible church we also see this remnant of theologian street preachers who are boldly counteracting everything that the "world" loves about the new seeker friendly church. This remnant is seen in the increasing number of open-air preachers and street evangelists throughout the US. They are preaching a biblical gospel that exalts Jesus Christ and explains Justification. Praise our Sovereign God for this increasing remnant.
