Transcription

Well, first of all, being self-sufficient means that he has no need within himself that has to be met outside of himself, that he is independent of his creation. Now, what does that do for me personally? It instills confidence. When I look in the mirror of God's word, I know I need saving. If God has to help me, if I have to help God save me, I'm in trouble because I know I can contribute nothing to my salvation but sin.

Paul Washer became a believer while studying at the University of Texas. After graduating, he moved to Peru and served there as a missionary for ten years, during which time he founded the HeartCry Missionary Society in order to support Peruvian church planters. HeartCry’s work now supports over 300 indigenous missionaries in more than 60 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Eurasia, North America, and Latin America.

Paul is an itinerant preacher and the author of numerous books, including five books in the Biblical Foundations for the Christian Life series, as well as three books in the Recovering the Gospel series. Paul serves as director of HeartCry Missionary Society. He lives in Roanoke, Virginia with his wife Charo and their four children.
