To say that this is an important sermon for our times is an understatement. If your normal Sunday morning fare is a short self-help sermonette, you might need to consume it in small bites.If you attend a more conservative church with ‘real’ sermons, there are portions you might not like.
Watch it anyway. I have no idea what in this sermon will speak to you, but you cannot walk from it unchanged.

Hi Robert!
He definitely doesn’t pull any punches. He spent about a dozen years in South America as a missionary in South America and heads a Missionary Society that supports indigenous pastors in Eastern Europe and the Third World.

Another powerful message by Mr. Washer…I’m with him…it doesn’t mean we don’t love, it means we love enough not to allow people to be mis-led….I like! 🙂

I can certainly see why many evangelicals don’t like him. He pretty much throws a wet blanket over their entire methodology. For my part I always thought the ‘pray the prayer and get saved’ paradigm was way too easy. There was no burden placed upon the ‘savee’ to change his life.
Rev. Washer’s interpretation makes more sense.

Someone who truly believes and is saved by grace WILL “grow fruit”. It will be in his/her nature (Phil 2:13). Genuine faith produces works, although works can’t save.

It just seems so obvious to me, that soft-pedaling or ignoring core points that completely make or break the gospel is actually lying about who God is and what he has done. That is, lying about God, to get people to stick around.

Lying about God to get people to stick around – a spiritual bait and switch, IF the truth about God is told at a later time.
