Paul Washer - The Gospel And Evangelism
What will you find in church today? A message based on self esteem, success, and sensuality? Or the timeless pure Gospel centred on Christ's atoning work? Here is another message with Paul Washer from our meetings in Denmark where he defines the Gospel and how to proclaim it.
It may sound too elementary, but if that's what you're thinking - then think again! Not only has the Gospel's purity been eroded by either a man centred gospel or relegation based on the assumption that everyone sitting in a church pew knows "Christianity 101". But woe unto us if we trade going deeper for going "further". This is a subject that offends pagans, infuriates false converts, and enthralls true believers - yes it's suitable for any audience . . .

More From Denmark - Paul Washer and Charles Leiter Field Questions
With the subject of Calvinism rearing it's head on Wednesday's post I thought it appropriate to post another of the videos from our camp in Denmark with Paul Washer and Charles Leiter. Paul and Charles were both jet lagged to the max when this filming was done but they continued to pour themselves out as true servants of the Most High God.
For me this video is worth watching for Charles Leiter's response to the question of Limted Atonement (a major sticking point between Calvinists and Armenianists). Charles rightly points out that many of the pillars of Calvinism in their stated form and label don't paint the entire picture. And this has much to do with the TULIP statement (which I'll discuss in another post) being a response to charges against Calvinism rather than a thorough statement of Calvin's doctrine.
Anyway Charles will explain better than I ever could and all the other stuff is great as well. The cut and thrust of Q&A is something I find intriguing and enjoyable . . .

More From Denmark - Charles Leiter On Church Discipline
Charles Leiter (author of the book Justification and Regeneration - the top seller on the Monergism website) also visited Denmark recently with Paul Washer and had plenty of godly wisdom to impart. The subject of church discipline is HUGE. Many churches either don't do it or don't do it biblically. Tolerating sin in the camp is both a reproach on Christ and an unloving way to treat an unrepentant church member. This video is worth hearing for the wonderful illustrations Charles gives - including the story of when he had to subject his own daughter to biblical church discipline.

Where Are The Men? - More From Paul Washer In Denmark
What a blessing it was to have Paul Washer and Charles Leiter minister to us in Denmark which is a land of seemingly unendless apostacy. Against that dark background shines great and faithful preaching about the One True God. Without a doubt feminist ideology has ravaged the Western European culture to the extent that it is hard to find men who are willing to beat their fists at the table of contention and stand for clear objective truth. It is one thing to have our eyes opened to the truth of the biblical worldview, it is another thing altogether to man up and act upon it. This is a call to men to rise up!

Paul Washer - A Real Man Preaching the Real Gospel
We have been so priveledged in Denmark with the recent visit of Paul Washer and Charles Leiter (the author of Justification and Regeneration). To be able to sit under such wonderful godly teaching in such an apostate land was like a dehydrated man taking a drink from a fire hydrant. The videos from all their sessions can now be viewed on Sermon Audio and are so very much worth the view. Much of the teaching focussed on the fundamentals of a biblical church and getting the Gospel right.
This sermon is a wonderful contrast to Rob Bell's pathetic and disgraceful attempt at preaching/distorting the gospel as shown two days ago. It also features a Danish translator which stretches out the time but gives the listener the opportunity to digest the sheer weight of Paul Washer's message. So take the time to listen to a man who loves to glorify God and earnestly desires to see sinful men come to saving faith. So much so that he does not shy away from proclaiming the "hard truths" of the once for all delivered faith.
