"Do you realize how much love it takes for me to stand before 5,000 people and tell you that that American Christianity is almost totally wrong?"

Love? Sounds more like arrogance to me.

Hi americanophile, don't you think it'd be more arrogant to not point out error and just try to go with the flow in order to be accepted by the majority? To say things only to gain popularity, prestige, and a spot on TV? I urge people to watch the video if you want to understand where he's coming from. It's only 4 minutes long.

I’ve seen some of Washer’s sermons on video and he is not at all arrogant. He is simply grieved by the low level American Christianity has fallen to and fears that millions who think they are “Christians” and go to church are going to spend eternity in Hell, because they have been sold a false Gospel that does not include repentance from sin or living a life any different from the unsaved.

Washer is rightfully grieved and frightened by the “repeat this simple prayer and then go on behaving the same way you always did” version of Christianity that has taken over way too many of our churches, and is considered to be normal by the masses of those claiming to be “Christians” these days.
