Hi Everyone,

I had a very surreal and surprising privilege of hearing Paul Washer live this past Monday and Wednesday during chapel at The Master's College. The sermon on Wednesday today was mainly on Flavel's writings. He built it up with the story of Abraham and Isaac, and at the end he said something like, "and the Father slaughtered Him there". He paused to look around the room for several moments, and when he saw nothing but blank stares from the audience, he walked off of stage towards the doors. As he was going out, a couple of people started to clap, and he came out and said, "No, don't!" and walked outside in tears. There was nothing for a minute or two but a bewildered silence. There were some students that were laughing, some were walking out, and some were waiting to see if he would come back. When it was obvious that he wouldn't come back, more people left except for a handful. As the auditorium emptied, I can see that there were a few huddles of students crying and some were just sitting with their heads down in prayer weeping. As unconventional as Paul Washer was walking off of stage today, it brought sadness to my own heart I as well as most of the people there shared the shame of our apathy for the cross.

Below is the link of the two sermons. I hope you'll find the time to listen to these. If you do, give me your opinion. To be honest, I'm still in a bit of shock.

God bless,

Yeah, I'm scratching my head a bit as well.

Apathy for the cross is something to expect every time you ever open your mouth to speak the Gospel. Paul Washer knows this, and preaches a message of Christians who take everything about salvation for granted. This seems like no new response from the audience, which is why I'm confused a bit.

But apathy for the cross was only the authors spin on why he walked out, unless Paul Washer has commented recently on the subject.

Well, maybe the Spirit of the Lord told him to stop preaching and just leave.

That's really the best I can figure as well. However, I'd like to hear his side on it, if it ever becomes available to public knowledge. Maybe a follow up or something.

I'm having trouble opening this link. Can't figure out why.

Can anyone else open it?

Which link? The SI one, or the YouTube one?

The one Greg supplied in this thread; leads to the page where the sermon is posted. Normally, that sermon URL will download safely, or, open in MediaPlayer itself.

I've downloaded as well as trying the latter, and both times I'm informed there is a fault in the link. It looks right though, so maybe my system has a glitch at this moment.

Thanks, StarofGod,

I think it's my MediaPlayer. I've now listened to part of it (beginning and ending) on a different system, until tomorrow, as it's late now.

This message sounds similar to what he shared at the Welsh conference, which was preached to a more mature congregation. But he finds it hard to imagine the Father taking His Son's life on the cross, when he thinks of his own children. And, I think he sounds tired. But I could be wrong. Maybe not tired, but fragile. Which is not a sin, or a bad thing, but it could explain him being unable to continue.
