“The person who loves you most will tell you the most truth. One of the greatest distinguishing marks of a false prophet is that he will always tell you what you want to hear – he will never rain on your parade, he will get you clapping, he will get you jumping, he will make you dizzy, he will keep you entertained, and he will present a Christianity to you that will make your church look like a Six Flags over Jesus. And keep you so entertained you are never addressed with great issues such as these: Is God working in my life? Am I growing in holiness? Have I truly been born again?”
~ Paul Washer
Amen! Another great quote from Mr. Washer, one of my favorite preachers for sure.
Just listened to one of his sermons on the glory of God today. Most excellent.
The Shocking Message is a superb sermon. I agree, definitely, with Mike–Paul Washer and Tim Conway are my favorite and most like-minded preachers. (hey, they’re both Baptist!)
Tim Conway is also a preacher? I thought he was just a comedian. ;)
What, haven’t you seen the video “Tim Conway Got Saved and Is Preaching Now”?
No, I do not believe I have. :D
Then you’d better.
Ooh, SO true. I definitely liked this quote. This one is going into my ‘quote’ book for sure. It’s definitely a great reminder that we aren’t supposed to be ‘comfortable’ in our faith! God needs to be stretching and growing us at all times or.. something is wrong.
Exactly.
