Ouch.

"How many times do youth groups go to things like this and get fired up and go back to the church, and it lasts about a week and a half? And yet, “Oh, it was a great move of God.” No, it wasn’t. If it doesn’t last, it wasn’t a great move of God. It was emotion."


This verbal smackdown is taken from a talk by Paul Washer called "The Shocking Youth Message". Listen to it on YouTube or get the transcript online, be changed by it. It's shocking but I wish it didn't shock us, I wish this message was the norm. 


If it doesn't last, it wasn't a great move of God. It was emotion.


Ouch. That hurts.
