A lot of people think that Christianity is you doing all the righteous things you hate and avoiding all the wicked things you love in order to go to Heaven. No, that's a lost man with religion. A Christian is a person whose heart has been changed; they have new affections.

Paul Washer

Paul Washer (* 1961) ist ein US-amerikanischer reformiert-baptistischer Prediger, Autor und Leiter des Missionswerks HeartCry Missionary Society. Er wurde international durch kompromisslose Predigten bekannt, in denen er oberflächliche Bekehrungsmuster scharf angreift und die Notwendigkeit von echter Buße, Lebensveränderung und weltweiter Mission betont. Während Bibelleser in seinen Beiträgen einen aufrüttelnden Ruf gegen theologische Verflachung sehen, stößt seine Lehre auf Kritik, da die starke Betonung sichtbarer Werke als Heilsbeweis die Heilsgewissheit untergraben könne.
