Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love
of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and
the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from
the world. And the world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will
of God abides forever.
– 1 John 2:15-17
"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy." (Ps. 126:5). This is the divine edict.
This is more than preaching with zeal. This is more than scholarly exposition.
This is more than delivering sermons of exegetical exactitude and homiletical perfection.
Such a man, whether preacher or pew dweller, is appalled at the shrinking authority of the Church in the present drama of cruelty in the world.
And he cringes with sorrow that men turn a deaf ear to the Gospel and willingly risk eternal hell in the process.

The man who has God for his treasure has all things in One. Many ordinary treasures may be denied

necessary to his happiness. Or if he must see them go, one after one, he will scarcely feel a sense of
loss, for having the Source of all things he has in One all satisfaction, all pleasure, all delight. Whatever
he may lose he has actually lost nothing, for he now has it all in One, and he has it purely, legitimately
and forever.
Would to God that believers would cease looking most at their old natures, and complaining of their
weaknesses, as if God called them to what they were unfitted for! If only they would believingly and
joyfully accept the wondrous revelation of how God, in uniting them to Christ, has made Himself
chargeable for their spiritual growth and fruitfulness.
This is the youth message Paul Washer preached in 2002 at a conference. The audience
was in shock then and many audiences continue to be shocked by it today.
