"So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown."-George Bennard

Sound words of what genuine conversion to Christ, and true revival, looks like.
This is very good. I pray that more people in Christianity get this...particularly Christianity in America. Many in other countries (like China for example)...they get it!
We have reduced the message of the gospel - to try to make it something "relevant". While - the irony is...the message IS relevant at its foundational truth...it needs no modification. The message of the gospel in its power to transform lives is so simple, yet so profound that we try to simplify it to a doctrine or creed.
Hey Craver, whats up with that? I'll come over to your blog and leave a link, maybe that'll work.
I really like Paul Washer, yet only in short bites, when he preaches. But this i thought was excellent, him simply sitting and speaking the truth of God with a heart for the Church and the lost.
Don, Did you ever listen to Washer's famous sermon that he delivered to a crowd of about 5000 youth? It was powerful and everyone was cheering as he talked about those in the church who think they are Christians and are now, and he said, "What are you cheering for? I'm talking about you."
It actually is soaked with a great deal of love. Very powerful message.

Thanks for finding and sharing this one Don.
Grace to you!

Wow! What an excellent video interview! Such solid truth in it, and it shows a much gentler side of Paul Washer. Thanks for sharing that, Don.
Yeah, I like the easy going Washer. I do like sound bites of his preaching. Powerful stuff. But I can't watch, nor listen to a whole sermon.
I believe he is dead on about the easy believing gospel that is leaven throughout the Body of Christ.
Ray Comfort is another one who says we need to be preaching the Gospel in the churches, because of all the false converts.
Nice of you to stop by Triston.
Have a wonderful day in the Lord. or evening i guess.

Yep. I listened to that one. It had some powerful moments, you're right.
