"When you refuse to preach on the radical depravity of men, it is an impossibility that you bring glory to God, His Christ and His cross. Because the cross of Jesus Christ and the glory thereof is most magnified when it is placed in front of the backdrop of our depravity. 'She loved much, because she has been forgiven much.' And she knew how much she had been forgiven because she knew how wicked she was. Ah, we are afraid to tell men of their wickedness, and they can never love God because of it. We have robbed them of the opportunity to boast not in themselves, but to follow the admonition: 'Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.'"
- Paul Washer, Ten Indictments Against the Church sermon.

I was blessed listing to this sermon, and I am glad that you put it up! Thank you! I was able to listen to the whole thing because I am sick with the flu, but I can praise God that he uses these things that seem bad like getting the flu, to bless me!
All For His Son's Glory!

That is so awesome!!! I really think God is using this video by His miraculous providence... that has been both of our experience in different ways - that God caused us to see it at the right time.
Here's a link if anyone wants to download the message for their MP3 player or ipod:

Thank you so much for this link Stephanie!! That's exactly what I needed. The LORD's Sovereignty is being displayed right before my eyes constantly concerning this message and all that is being worked around it in my life and prayers.
I just finished listening to this message today. So powerful. One side of me was inspired to hope (and pray) that these truths be proclaimed and that change happens in a big way in modern churches, and in hearts...the other side is prone to discouragment because of what I see around me. I'll be praying. Thanks for sharing this message!
