Well my mind is racing a thousand miles per second.  My body feels like all is in slow motion as the afternoon session with Paul Washer met with a rush of Starbucks. Between his anointing and the caffeine, let’s just say that I may have a sense of what an addict feels when they come off a high.

Holy smokes. Paul Washer just finished up a message on “Sufficiency of Scripture in Personal Evangelism” and completely destroyed the modern day 4 questions version of salvation.  His message was to the point and not only offered up a recognition of the problem, but a solution as well.

His scathing deliverance of the scriptures finished up in Romans 10.  He meticulously explained the context in which the book of Romans was written, and how the majority of so-called evangelical, Christian churches in the U.S. abuse and twist Romans 10:10 is twisted and ripped out of context and presented as a cheapened version of true salvation.

As with Voddie, I was able to chat with him after the message after waiting in a huge line. (There were so many people, that even the floor was covered with over 100+ folks after the seats filled long before he started.)

Paul and I conversed and I walked away with a few things.  1) I was finally able to thank him in person for his ministry and the work God has done in me through his preaching. 2) As Paul put it to me, “Man, you really married out of your league…” he said with a smile.  I know that I don’t deserve the wonderful wife I’ve been given.  It was a light-hearted moment that we both laughed. 3) Paul is also considering a church plant in WV.  He will be in the Fairmont area next week.  When I get my jaw off the floor, I’ll comment more.

He will be speaking again tonight, I can’t wait.
