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.

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.

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.
