What is the Gospel? Today there are so many variations of the people think The Gospel is that the meaning of The Gospel has been lost. Paul Washer’s Gospel-Christ Centered preaching was a huge part of the change in my “Theological Trajectory”, if you will. Paul Washer explains in this message what the Gospel is and [...]

Letter 3
Oct. 20, 1767.
Dear Sir,

“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never [...]
