When a pastor teaches on prosperity and only he prospers, there is a serious problem.

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.

Material wealth is either a window through which we see God or a mirror in which we see ourselves.

What a person loves, that is their god. For they carry it in their heart, they turn it over day and night, they sleep with it and wake with it, whatever it may be — wealth or money, pleasure or honor.
Martin Luther
