Complacent Christian or radical Christian?

It's good to be challenged and convicted once in a while.

Prayers that the seeds will bear fruit.

P.S. please don't be distracted by the fancy sound effects; the man's heart seems sincere enough.

A speaker of truth. Paul Washer gave a fuller message, that this one was extracted from, to a group of teens. Sadly to say, he was never asked back to speak again. If you have the time, the whole message should be listened to. Shocking Youth Message Stuns Hearers

I watched that video. Was very moved by it.

yeah we all suck. And spreading the gospel in our own strength has always worked hasn't it. Because we save people, God doesn't. We have that capacity.

And trying to persude people through guilt rather then Gods conviction has always produced mature, wise and capable christian workers in the field. That's why we can ignore the scripture that says the harvest is ripe but the workers are few so PRAY to the God of the harvest to raise up workers for it.

Because anyone can be a capable missionary. Anyone can be an evangelist. Anyone can be a pastor. Anyone can be a preacher. Anyone can be a youth leader. Anyone can be a teacher or writer. Anyone can be anything because we don't actually need Gods enabling or his call. In fact we don't need to follow Jesus at all.

We can do his work without him. It's what he wants. In fact to wait is to fail him.

No offense nebula but clips like this are the work of the devil, because they can cause people to ignore God, and God is the one who builds his house, not us. We merely follow as HE leads. The more willing we are to die to ourselves the more he can do through us. But the moment we rip the reigns out of his hands and do something through guilt or pride, we move into our own strength and try to build his work in our own strength and THAT is the biggest problem the church faces today, not apathy. Most genuine christians would be willing to die for their faith or step out into ministry. The bible tells us that 'though we know ALL mysteries, though we give our body to be burned, though we have all knowledge or the faith to move mountains (which is a lot of faith) and give all or our possessions to the poor, if we have not love, it profits us nothing'. In otherwords it is possible to be a christian marytr pointlessly. Other scripture tells us that we can do healing, miracles and cast out demons in christs name and still be rejected by him at judgment. Why? Because we didn't follow him. That means behind.

People ignoring God and not following his leading has always been the worlds biggest problem. Because it's harder (much harder). Not the other way around.

But thanks for posting. That's an interesting clip.

Yesult - division is of the devil, too, you know.

I believe you and the speaker speak from the same heart, but just from different angles.

There are many problems with the church today; he's addressing one issue, you are addressing another.

I fail to understand why you thought he was guilting people though - is it because he wept? Would God that we all wept in repentance and for our sins as a body.

We need to work together in this, not exalt one method or one point over another. I would "Amen!" your post, except for where you tore down the other brother.

No offense nebula but clips like this are the work of the devil, because they can cause people to ignore God, and God is the one who builds his house, not us.

and yet you question those who actually address the errors of Benny Hinn . . . .

I cannot agree with Sister Nebula regarding your heart and Paul Washer's.

It is no wonder he was not asked back. The only time He gives this message is at Jesus Youth Rallies and Youth Evangelism Conferences where all of the youth are "on fire" for Jesus. What a terrible message to be given to this kind of audience.

I'll bet he doesn't have the guts to give this message at one of his Southern Baptist Laodicean congregations on Sunday Morning.

SAdly this is true... remember though this points to the truth that Gods word is true, because He spoke of a great apostasy at the end of this age
