@Prophetic Utterance's exactly. The Spirit gives understanding and God chiefly speaks through His word so, “Read your Bible,” is really good advice lol. Know God through his word forest and foremost.
@Prophetic Utterance's wow, are you preaching through your own authority lol. You’ll probably say something else so I’ll let you have the last word. There’s another useful piece of scripture. Don’t answer a fool in his folly.
"Remember, the world doesnt need just a bunch of academics. The world needs men and women of God... that if you cut their veins they will bleed the scriptures. Read your Bible and then start gathering the classics"- Paul Washer Soo inspired to read my Bible today!!
Men and women of God are only those who trust Jesus Christ 100% for their salvation, apart from their works. Everyone else who trusts their works, works plus Jesus, or is an unbeliever is a child of the evil one.
So great to see Pastor Paul looking so well! We need his faithful shepherding for this generation!! 🙏🏼 I'm an ex muslim who was blessed to have "discovered" Paul Washer after a very early, disillusioning stint with Joel Osteen! 😂 I knew there had to be more and there's much more meat on these bones!

“You can grow in the knowledge of books and increase your pride, or you can grow in the knowledge of the Bible and increase you brokenness and humbleness.” -Paul Washer
@Prophetic Utterance's "You people" Ignorance? Another gem.... Go away, renew your mind, and your insults. No one wants to hear them. Your lack of civility and love for others as Jesus commands needs help.
@Prophetic Utterance's Watch how you keep judging people that you know nothing of. You keep hiding behind your keyboard and inciting hatred, division, as well as other things that God detests. You show very little fruit of the spirit. I will pray for you. I won't respond further to your nonsense. I don't have to defend myself to the likes of you; you're the one that needs to read the Bible. I only have to do what is right in God's eyes, not yours, or Mr. Washer's for that matter. Have a nice day :)
@Preacher of Righteousness I don’t understand what (ignorance) you’re referring to? The more you compare yourself to Christ and the holiness of God the more humble you become. The law presents to us guilt, the cross represents Gods justice and love, which when believed produces gratitude. The more you look at/aim to Christ the more you conform to that image. The only ignorance I’ve heard so far is your comments which are not edifying in the least.
@@mitchellc4 If you do not accept the divinity of Christ, then you have no Gospel, a mere man cannot die for someone else’s sins let alone for all of our sins. Christ was perfect and sinless , something no man has or ever will accomplish.
I think one of the primary reasons we see such richness in the writings of these men & women who lived hundreds of years ago is that they had fewer distractions than we have today. They were able to focus in ways that many today find difficult. Reading these classics is like reading pure gold with little dross & few wasted words
Admit it. We all do it. When we see a video or an interview with bookshelves as a backdrop, we squint to see what books are there. LOL Thank you, brother, for making our snooping, er, uh, I mean, our work easier. Philippians 1:3-6!
I wish that years ago, someone had said to me that part about books being less important than The Book. I was a teenager set ablaze with a passion for apologetics and a tremendous amount of pride because of it. I didn’t think I had need for the Bible because I thought I already knew what all it had to say. I wanted to read commentaries and apologetics. It was the simple, hard-hitting gospel of Christ that made me finally realize my own insignificance and hubris. Now, I’m in my early 20’s and I’m constantly realizing how little of the Bible I’ve actually read and even less that I understand. The mind of God is enough to make an academic into a complete moron. You’ve been pivotal in my sanctification, Paul Washer. I thank God for teachers like you.
Most people in the comments condemning Washer for the majesty of his library and theological knowledge of the early protestant reformers never watched the full video to understand the context. You engage in your passions of impatience to realize that he stressed on the importance of spiritual revelation of primarily and mainly scripture. He emphasized that its better to memorize scripture than to understand that knowledge.
How I wish I had 8-10 hs to study the Bible instead fo the 1-2 hs I give it a day. God bless you brother Paul, I don't know you personally, I'm not even a calvinist, but I've got a deep love for you and your ministry.
I see this video as God's answer to my prayers. I was praying asking Him for guidance on how to get to know Him better and I was asking God to help me and teach me to love Him more, as he deserves. This video is great starting point with lots of advice. I send my greetings from Scottish Highlands :) Thank tou so much. I am 3 years i faith and what you do helped me a lot to get my head right. God bless you.
Only 8 mins in and I have like 20 names. Each with a whole lot of knowledge. ...and then I realized the video is 27 minutes long. 😁😁😁😁😁💪🏽💯. I would pay for a video like this ..and this is free!?..........Praise God... Thank Pastor Washer. 🙏🏽👏
My husband just found that he is related to Samuel Rutherford- he says" It shows the faithfulness of GOD that 8- 9 generations he had a grandson that knows Jesus"... 😍 your collection. Thank you!!
Great library- but even more than those beautiful books, I love what you said about reading the book and our weapons of our warfare- the Word , intercessory prayer and a holy life. So encouraging as it seems if we mention the goal of holiness we are accused of being prideful when it is actually quite the opposite. Also grateful for what you said about Mueller and how he didn't manipulate people but relied on The Father to provide what was needed and was blessed. May Our Father continue to bless the work of your hands and the pure desires of your heart.
Angry , yes. I felt the same Paul. When I first read Calvin's Institutes I was grateful and angry ..that I had never been taught this or directed to this amazing work.
It’s sad to see so many people jumping to conclusions and obviously did not listen but just came to throw stones at him. There are obviously many who might claim they are saved but reading their comments, they are not. I suggest rewatching the video, listen, and avoid other RUclips videos that are driven by hate to stumble the true Christians. Thank you Paul for sharing with us your library. I saw some books my dad also has and uses for references.
I agree completely. What I don't get is why, they know they are against Mr. Washer, why are they even here? Are their lives consumed by so much hate for Mr. Washer and others that they live to insult, spread more hate, bully, harass others? Many of them have their own videos they upload, but they turn off their comments so no one can comment, isn't that special? They also don't use their own names, like Mr. Washer and others..... Can definitely tell by their fruits who they truly belong too. All we can do is keep praying for them.
This is the video I always wanted to ask for but never thought we’d get. Honestly, I’ve bought just about everything in heartcrys recommended reading and I have been saved countless hours by Paul’s recommendations. They’ve been a huge blessing to my own growth and maturity. It’s helpful knowing someone’s gone before me and done some of the hard work-done what I don’t have time to do & made the little time I have more effective. Thank you Heartcry!!!
What’s the main books you’d recommend to start with as I’m a new Christian and could use some help on reading scripture as this would be so helpful as well
@@Karends5858 I started out reading the Bible by itself, beginning by just reading and listening through the YouVersion app all the parts that I was familiar with cause it's overwhelming at first. That really made it enjoyable and fruitful. But eventually got to read it all the way through and the books I found to be most helpful to start when I went to books outside of the Bible were those that simply taught who God was and others that taught how to live for him. Also biographies are really helpful and encouraging, to see other people just like us grow, learn and have the same weaknesses we do. Heartcry has a recommended reading list that I'll link below. heartcrymissionary.com/recommended-reading-list/ Pick out a book from each of these 5 sections to start with, I think they are the best place to start. 1) Study Bible or you can find for yourself what is called a 'Bible Handbook.' it offers some help reading the Bible and a little background along the way while still letting the Bible speak for itself. 2) Attributes of God. This is simply the knowledge of who God is. 3) The section Christian living, specifically under the headings 'prayer' and 'sanctification' 4) The section 'woman and wives.' I've personally been so very helped by the mens section teaching what it means to be the man or woman of God that he has called us to be by his own design and for his glory. It really covers the basics on what it means to live for God, I use those things I've learned every single day. 5) Christian Biographies. 2 favorites are George Mueller's and Pilgrims Progress (even though it is a fictional biography). My soon-to-be wife has really benefited from another book that is kind of like Pilgrims Progress but it's more realistic and specifically from a woman's perspective called 'Stepping Heavenward.' And also the biography of Amy Carmichael has had a really positive impact on her. But all of them in the list are valuable, there are people from all paths of life. But that's where I'd start if I did it all over again. Begin and end in prayer, having confidence that God will guide you with picking any of these books. Ultimately that really motivates us that our paths are being established by God and that we can trust we aren't wasting our time because we've committed everything to him. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Hope this helps !
@@cole141000 God bless hun as this really did help and I have the you version Bible app and I’ve been reading it and there’s so many helpful videos on it as well so I really thank you for all your help and most of all,your guidance in helping me to be better and I just want to be more committed this year than ever to learn all I can possibly learn and grow within his love and grace and to be useful for His glory
Wow, brother Paul, you have been a great inspiration in my Christian life. When I was restored by God after seriously backsliding coming out of the Word of Faith movement, you was the first preacher I heard preach the Gospel and I was able to relate because of the supernatural work the Holy Spirit done and still doing in my life 🙌🏽🙏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing, It is helpful and blessing^^ I won't go out and get in debt buying a bunch of books, instead for me, I will read the Bible over and over as many as I can!! God bless you! From South Korea
I love brother Paul! Every time I listen to one of his sermons I weep either for grief over my sin or for joy over what Jesus has done for me and just how much God loves me. The Spirit of God has used this holy vessel to encourage and edify me when I felt overwhelmed by my sin or some difficulty I was going through. Thank you brother Paul to your faithfulness to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you Pastor Washer. I love you sir. I’m Very grateful for your obedience and sacrifice. May the Lord continue to use you in a mighty way. I just preached on this past Weekend and some things that you said in messages that you preached years ago were used in my message to see God glorified and His people edified as well. You are a gift of God to the body of Christ and I’m eternally grateful for you. Again, thank you pastor!
Thank you Brother Paul for showing us your library and helping us see the authors who have helped shaped your ministry in missions and evangelism.🙏🏼 Praying for you and your family.
This type of video is so necessary. I don't think that people know how important these types of videos are especially when confronted with the mess you see in the average Christian bookstore today. Young and old Christians alike need help sometimes make good choices both in books and authors. Need more videos like this. This is my forth time watching.
This is so inspiring. It is amazing to find out where Paul Washer sits to get rooted in God's Word even if it is a fraction of all books written on scriptural/theological truths. Yet in his preachings, he is not complicated with difficult phrases and terminologies. Anyone who listens to him can capture truths. I am encouraged to read books and the BIBLE.
My heart is encouraged and bless to know and see that God is still raising up young people to be Scripture -Fed and Holy Spirit-Led by the lives of those who have left a legacy!
Wow, great collection of books ... as J. C. Ryle said, "knowledge of the bible never comes by intuition ..." Above all, as Washer said here to read the bible over and over again. Americans are privileged to have some of the greatest books (especially from the Puritans and other Reformers) within their country as these books are not locally published in many other parts of the world, especially in Asian continent.
Ahhhh!!! One of the MANY reasons why I absolutely love love love Bro. Paul Washer!!!🥰 It’s also kind of cute that he said “my library isn’t that large”... WOW!!! So humble... It is LARGE and HEAVY with great content!!! We love you Bro. Paul!!!❤️
i love Paul Washer sermons, they are not those typical feel-good-chill sermons but drives a hard point in every sermon. Great man. learnt alot from him
I really like this preacher!! I could listen to him preach all day! His Sermons are a breath of a fresh air. Thank you so much Paul Washer. God Bless you a lot and your family.
Thank you bro. Paul for all your books. Read them and teach us. Living in this muslim Country we don't have Christian books. But I thank God that we have the freedom to go to Church everyday and connect with our Creator. It's very important to have closer relationship with God. How I wish I'm near to you and read with you. Glory to God.
Seriously, being bi-vocational, study time is a bit different , a little less study and a whole lot of focus during the week on the go of the things studied. Like how you love Calvin as a primer, I agree but also John Mcarthur new testament commentaries cover a immense amount of knowledge, in Spurgeon's Treasury of the Bible I find more often useful than his encyclopedias. Honorable mention would be anything F.B. Myer, W.A. Crisswell, and John R. Rice to add spice, but the Holy Spirit is amazing how we overload ourselves with study and get behind the pulpit in what the Spirit speaks and how much He doesn't use of what we cram into our minds as if He rewards us for our study.
What a beautiful library Brother Paul. I have about 6 books thus far and plan on getting more. All of which will be from Reformed men. Thanks for your humble kindness.
😄wow brother Paul, I don’t think you will have time reading this message since your FOCUS in on the reading of ETERNAL LIFE MATTERS , but I want to say thank you very much, for your efforts and time to share with us, I congregate to a Pentecostal Evangelical Church and the Pastor brother Luis Mundaca ALWAYS encourage us to read the Old books like MR.MOODY y more ... GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESSED BE ALL YOUR HOUSEHOLD BHOTHER PAUL WASHER
I really enjoyed that. Since I found you in February 2020... it’s really nice to see this. Thank you so much. That was very cool of you to share with us who trust your teaching. Nice buck brother Paul!
@@paulwasher3999 we ALL KNOW this reply is NOT The very respectable Paul Washer. Seriously... you need to stop, repent and sin no more. Get on board with Jesus Christ instead of this waste of time... SPAM. .
So good to see you Paul! You are such a man of God. That smile, has grower wider and wider during the life of your ministry. There is such a joy that can be seen in your spirit (especially in these trying times, proof of the HS in you), it's amazing. God bless you!
I love Paul Washer. I hope someday that me and him could be struggling digging out a post hole together with some PHD's (post hole diggers). God bless this man!
You are a blessing Paul...I have been brought up catholic but I love the bible and do my best to understand and immerse in it. I have watched you for years an my soul always expands. I have listed these books and will slowly get to them as best I can. God bless you
God indeed answers prayers. Last week while I was wrapping up reading The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer, I said a prayer. I asked God to direct me on books to buy for the year (tired of buying books blindly, which turns to regret a lot of times). Now, a week later I get more than I bargained for🤣 I'm hitting the closest bookshop asap. Please I need Paul Washer's books, we don't seem to have them in Nigeria (someone should please help a daughter of Zion)🥺
Some very important thing that brother Paul said was that nothing is better than the scriptures, I agree with this (Psalms 19:7-10)..God bless you brother and thank you for share all these books :)
Paul Washer, prepared for anything the 1700s can throw at him! Ok a serious note though, this video was wonderful! Thank you for the wonderful insight into the works that have shaped a man who has shaped many of us!
Love you so much brother. A lot of wisdom. God uses broken men to break the heart of the next generation of proud men. Thank you for your continued faithfulness. God bless you.
Appreciate the insight. Especially the comments about studying the Word first and foremost To whomever asked about Ravenhill: I would heartily recommend Why Revival Tarries
Fully agree ... the greatest thing of the day is to read the Scriptures ... from Genesis to Revelation over and over and over ... and to pray over the words of Scripture ... Every Christian can do that ... there is no need to be a scholar ... but just a diligent reader ... George Mueller made it his business to read the Scriptures through at least once a year ... every year until he went to be with the Lord Jesus. And because of that he had the faith of a George Mueller ... to pray in faith for and receive "a million and a half in answer to secret prayer ..." Reading and loving the Scriptures is the bedrock of the proper Christian life ... Nothing else can replace it ever.

And also the biography of Amy Carmichael has had a really positive impact on her. But all of them in the list are valuable, there are people from all paths of life.
But that's where I'd start if I did it all over again. Begin and end in prayer, having confidence that God will guide you with picking any of these books. Ultimately that really motivates us that our paths are being established by God and that we can trust we aren't wasting our time because we've committed everything to him. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Hope this helps !
@@cole141000 God bless hun as this really did help and I have the you version Bible app and I’ve been reading it and there’s so many helpful videos on it as well so I really thank you for all your help and most of all,your guidance in helping me to be better and I just want to be more committed this year than ever to learn all I can possibly learn and grow within his love and grace and to be useful for His glory
Wow, brother Paul, you have been a great inspiration in my Christian life.
When I was restored by God after seriously backsliding coming out of the Word of Faith movement, you was the first preacher I heard preach the Gospel and I was able to relate because of the supernatural work the Holy Spirit done and still doing in my life 🙌🏽🙏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing, It is helpful and blessing^^ I won't go out and get in debt buying a bunch of books, instead for me, I will read the Bible over and over as many as I can!! God bless you! From South Korea
Me encanta verlo bien pastor paul washer saludos desde Argentina rosario
I love brother Paul! Every time I listen to one of his sermons I weep either for grief over my sin or for joy over what Jesus has done for me and just how much God loves me. The Spirit of God has used this holy vessel to encourage and edify me when I felt overwhelmed by my sin or some difficulty I was going through. Thank you brother Paul to your faithfulness to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Yes he shows me how I am falling short and inspires me to be better and do more for the cause for Christ Jesus.
@@ericwalker6546 Oh, definitely.
Thank you Pastor Washer. I love you sir. I’m Very grateful for your obedience and sacrifice. May the Lord continue to use you in a mighty way. I just preached on this past Weekend and some things that you said in messages that you preached years ago were used in my message to see God glorified and His people edified as well. You are a gift of God to the body of Christ and I’m eternally grateful for you. Again, thank you pastor!
Thank you Brother Paul for showing us your library and helping us see the authors who have helped shaped your ministry in missions and evangelism.🙏🏼 Praying for you and your family.
The mere sight of these books set my soul on fire! I covet something like this so so so irresistibly
I have read the Bible so much and it doesn’t allow me to read outside of it.
But I respect this man a lot, God bless him.
FINALLY! God bless you and your family Pastor Paul!
Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.
― Charles Spurgeon
This type of video is so necessary. I don't think that people know how important these types of videos are especially when confronted with the mess you see in the average Christian bookstore today. Young and old Christians alike need help sometimes make good choices both in books and authors. Need more videos like this. This is my forth time watching.
This is so inspiring.
It is amazing to find out where Paul Washer sits to get rooted in God's Word even if it is a fraction of all books written on scriptural/theological truths.
Yet in his preachings, he is not complicated with difficult phrases and terminologies. Anyone who listens to him can capture truths.
I am encouraged to read books and the BIBLE.
Amen to that, John.
Was there any set here that you really wanted? I would like to have several of those sets.
My heart is encouraged and bless to know and see that God is still raising up young people to be Scripture -Fed and Holy Spirit-Led by the lives of those who have left a legacy!
Wow, great collection of books ... as J. C. Ryle said, "knowledge of the bible never comes by intuition ..." Above all, as Washer said here to read the bible over and over again.
Americans are privileged to have some of the greatest books (especially from the Puritans and other Reformers) within their country as these books are not locally published in many other parts of the world, especially in Asian continent.
Ahhhh!!! One of the MANY reasons why I absolutely love love love Bro. Paul Washer!!!🥰 It’s also kind of cute that he said “my library isn’t that large”... WOW!!! So humble... It is LARGE and HEAVY with great content!!! We love you Bro. Paul!!!❤️
i love Paul Washer sermons, they are not those typical feel-good-chill sermons but drives a hard point in every sermon. Great man. learnt alot from him
Thank you, Paul Washer. Nice library. God bless you and your family. May the lord keep you healthy.
I second that Yolanda, Amen!
I really like this preacher!! I could listen to him preach all day! His Sermons are a breath of a fresh air. Thank you so much Paul Washer. God Bless you a lot and your family.
Thank you bro. Paul for all your books. Read them and teach us. Living in this muslim Country we don't have Christian books. But I thank God that we have the freedom to go to Church everyday and connect with our Creator. It's very important to have closer relationship with God. How I wish I'm near to you and read with you. Glory to God.
O my, this is the video I’ve been waiting a very long time for!!!
Paul’s teaching and prayer helped me through a very dark time over the summer 🙏🏼💫I’ll never forget it he’s awesome
Thank you brother for the tour, we certainly have a common bond in those we are attracted to. God bless in the name of Jesus
Seriously, being bi-vocational, study time is a bit different , a little less study and a whole lot of focus during the week on the go of the things studied. Like how you love Calvin as a primer, I agree but also John Mcarthur new testament commentaries cover a immense amount of knowledge, in Spurgeon's Treasury of the Bible I find more often useful than his encyclopedias. Honorable mention would be anything F.B. Myer, W.A. Crisswell, and John R. Rice to add spice, but the Holy Spirit is amazing how we overload ourselves with study and get behind the pulpit in what the Spirit speaks and how much He doesn't use of what we cram into our minds as if He rewards us for our study.
I totally vote for Washer creating a vlog channel. I mean, I wouldn't really mind spending time watching his "study with me videos
What a beautiful library Brother Paul. I have about 6 books thus far and plan on getting more. All of which will be from Reformed men. Thanks for your humble kindness.
😄wow brother Paul, I don’t think you will have time reading this message since your FOCUS in on the reading of ETERNAL LIFE MATTERS , but I want to say thank you very much, for your efforts and time to share with us, I congregate to a Pentecostal Evangelical Church and the Pastor brother Luis Mundaca ALWAYS encourage us to read the Old books like MR.MOODY y more ... GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESSED BE ALL YOUR HOUSEHOLD BHOTHER PAUL WASHER
A great encouragement today, in my weakness to go to the wonderful scriptures and read and bask in God's Glory!
Man I love Paul!
I know, me too. ❤️ He is so humble and loves our Lord Jesus, and inspires us to love and serve Jesus!
This is why I listen to what you say. You know what your talking about. Thanks for sharing.
Geez that "read books, but grapple with Scripture" was powerful. So so so true. Ive seen folks try and preach word for word Pauls sermons. silliness.
Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
Proverbs 11:14
Bunch of Council is not done by reading books.... LoL Holy Spirit is the council brush up on Psalm 32 8,9
Reading books can be like listening to wise counsellors if they are good books, absolutely.
Thank you brother Paul! This is a great source of resources. But like you said, Read The Book, your Bible! Thank you again for this blessing!
Things you can be sure of
1. Christ’s finished work
2. That Paul can bench 3 plates
Fantastic comment 👍💪
The Word of God is the gift of grace to all of us. The rest is just icing on the cake.
WOW he smiles...
beacause this is not sermon :D
Ha ha ha.
Wonderful. Nothing like a good library to stoke hunger for the word
You’re right. Read Genesis to Revelation, over and over, and over.
Thank u so much Pastor Washer, u ,ur family and missions are in my prayers! U been such a blessing to me Sir!! God bless.
I really enjoyed that. Since I found you in February 2020... it’s really nice to see this. Thank you so much. That was very cool of you to share with us who trust your teaching. Nice buck brother Paul!
@@paulwasher3999 we ALL KNOW this reply is NOT The very respectable Paul Washer. Seriously... you need to stop, repent and sin no more. Get on board with Jesus Christ instead of this waste of time... SPAM. .
So good to see you Paul! You are such a man of God. That smile, has grower wider and wider during the life of your ministry. There is such a joy that can be seen in your spirit (especially in these trying times, proof of the HS in you), it's amazing. God bless you!
Weapons of warfare:
- Word of God
- Intercessory Prayer
- Holy life in
Love Brother Paul. Praise the Lord!
I love Paul Washer. I hope someday that me and him could be struggling digging out a post hole together with some PHD's (post hole diggers). God bless this man!
You are a blessing Paul...I have been brought up catholic but I love the bible and do my best to understand and immerse in it. I have watched you for years an my soul always expands. I have listed these books and will slowly get to them as best I can. God bless you
Here goes my bank account 🤣Thank You SO MUCH for this Dr. Washer and HeartCry 💯
I was about to share my gofundme for this reason lol
God indeed answers prayers.
Last week while I was wrapping up reading The Pursuit of God by AW Tozer, I said a prayer.
I asked God to direct me on books to buy for the year (tired of buying books blindly, which turns to regret a lot of times).
Now, a week later I get more than I bargained for🤣
I'm hitting the closest bookshop asap.
Please I need Paul Washer's books, we don't seem to have them in Nigeria (someone should please help a daughter of Zion)🥺
Charity Tobby
I have a couple of Paul washer books, if not all and some other books he recommended
Am in Ondo, Nigeria.
@@elishaisarinde6462 please can we talk?
@@elishaisarinde6462 please can you follow me on fb, so we can have a chat; Charity Tobby. I really would love to have those books, please😭
Paul Washer is a brilliant theologian! We are so blessed by his love of Jesus!
Thanks for the tour Brother Paul!
God bless you Brother Paul.
Some very important thing that brother Paul said was that nothing is better than the scriptures, I agree with this (Psalms 19:7-10)..God bless you brother and thank you for share all these books :)
Siiiiiiiiii!!!!! Por favor!!!!! Que haga un vídeo en Español por favor 🤗❤️🙌 Maravillosa Biblioteca ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing Paul!!! I am so so jealous of you right now!!! 🙌 🔥 ❤️ 🙏
very enjoyable. So glad to see you. GOD BLESS
Thank you for sharing part of your life to us, May GOD Bless you and your family!
Paul Washer, prepared for anything the 1700s can throw at him!
Ok a serious note though, this video was wonderful! Thank you for the wonderful insight into the works that have shaped a man who has shaped many of us!
That was great!
Love you so much brother. A lot of wisdom. God uses broken men to break the heart of the next generation of proud men. Thank you for your continued faithfulness. God bless you.
Appreciate the insight. Especially the comments about studying the Word first and foremost
To whomever asked about Ravenhill: I would heartily recommend Why Revival Tarries
I loved this video, what a treat. As usual with brother Washer, I was both very convicted and very encouraged.
I was waiting for mention of Andrew Murray and Tozer.. 😊
What a great collection of Puritan writings! Brother Paul has been a blessing for us here in Brazil; may God keep blessing him and his ministry.
Fully agree ... the greatest thing of the day is to read the Scriptures ... from Genesis to Revelation over and over and over ... and to pray over the words of Scripture ... Every Christian can do that ... there is no need to be a scholar ... but just a diligent reader ... George Mueller made it his business to read the Scriptures through at least once a year ... every year until he went to be with the Lord Jesus. And because of that he had the faith of a George Mueller ... to pray in faith for and receive "a million and a half in answer to secret prayer ..." Reading and loving the Scriptures is the bedrock of the proper Christian life ... Nothing else can replace it ever.
It's not hard to read the Scriptures in a year... Everyone has 15 minutes a day.
Thank you for uploading this. Pastor Paul I am glad you seem to be all better from a few years ago.
I love the Puritans. I’m reading some of there writings. Such deep people of the faith.
Did you know?
PURITANS never studied APOSTLE PAUL.
..just o/t.
I knew George Muller has an special place in Paul Washer’s library. He’s mentioned him so much in his sermons. God bless him
Spurgen too!
