Winkie Pratney (b. 1944) — Jugendevangelist, Erweckungsprediger, Autor und Mentor · evangelikal-charismatisch · Neuseeland

Winkie Pratney (* 1944) ist ein neuseeländischer Jugendevangelist, Autor und Bibellehrer, der seit den 1960er-Jahren international in der Jesus-People-Bewegung sowie in Werken wie Jugend mit einer Mission wirkte. Bekannt für seinen Aufruf zu radikaler Jüngerschaft und Erweckung, löste er mit seiner an Charles Finney angelehnten „Moral Government Theology“ und der Ablehnung der traditionellen Erbsündenlehre anhaltende theologische Kritik im evangelikalen Spektrum aus. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als Mahner zu persönlicher Lebensheiligung und Buße, dessen Aussagen zu freiem Willen und göttlicher Souveränität jedoch theologiegeschichtlich umstritten bleiben.

Unless you have a rock-solid commitment to truth, the Bible won't change your life - it will only be so many words in a sea of words.

The only difference in death between a Christian and one who is not is that the Christian is ready to meet Jesus. A Christian is dead already - dead to the world, but alive to Christ. Death for you as a child of God is to fall asleep in His arms and awake in the other world, alive forever beyond the power of pain, safe forever from all sickness and suffering.

Little children are God's ongoing witness of His kingdom: a perpetual reminder of what it means to belong to the father. Children are an unspoken sermon in every home for simplicity, joy, and humility of that which makes the world worth living in. They remind us what it means to be a real Christian.
