"A Must Listen!"

So say many about this sermon. What sermon? By a certain Paul Washer, which happens to be a youth message preached to uh...youths.



In all respects it is, as many say, well delivered. And the tagline at Sermon Audio, where it can be found declares: "So shocking and biblical that the preacher was never invited back."



Oh? Well, it is disturbing. Be it the fact that people were offended at his message or that he preached such a message.



So I listened to it. It was really amusing. Well, the reaction that is. When the speaker goes into a long winded biblical section in his speech, we hear the typical applause and cheering (if you've attended any youth conference, you'll know what I mean). You should hear his reaction to it. It's something that no other youth pastor would say (or at least, so far as I've heard).



If you're too lazy to slog your way through this sermon (although I do recommend listening to it), it basically goes like this: The way to heaven is narrow, and thus, many will go to hell. Many "Christians" are, well, unsaved. (Interestingly, I raised a similar issue in my former blog, except in a "what if" question)



What's so offensive? Well, many more people are going to hell than you think (so he says). That's always offensive, no?
