Paul Washer on What’s Missing in Today’s Preaching

Segment 1

• You can sit under “expository preaching” and still starve spiritually if it never aims for your heart.

• Teaching the text without any application turns sermons into lectures.

• Some preachers have settled for mere information over true transformation.

Segment 2

• Paul Washer calls out sermons that inform the mind but leave eternity untouched.

• If your pastor doesn’t plead with you about heaven and hell, souls are in danger—including yours.

• True preaching doesn’t just explain verses—it confronts sin and stirs obedience.

Segment 3

• “Cleverneutics” makes Scripture say theological novelties.

• If a teacher always sounds innovative, you should be on your guard.

• Word games and cleverness oftentimes obscure straightforward, biblical truth.

Segment 4

• Some pastors distort Scripture with “creative” theology instead of submitting to it.

• Answers in Genesis reminds us: Christianity isn’t about novelty—it’s about time-worn truths that save.

• The danger isn’t just bad sermons, but loss of confidence in the truth of Scripture.
