| grand news!!! |
just letting you guys know my take on this
you know how i got new hillsong cds in s`pore?
well i brought them to thailand and my uncle saw them... and he thought he should tell me what he heard on Australian news (which is fair enough)...
he said that hillsong is very `politically focused` and ` money focused` and that they support the liberals and that they invited peter costello to speak to ppl... and that what? they ask for money (offering perhaps?) and they're rolling in money (oh, but they came to canberra for free, they do good stuff with that money) and lotsa other stuff, oh yes, and that lots of traditional churches are really opposed to them.. (well, duh! cos we're making God

bah, i'll post this again
there are some things about hillsong that are a big blaah...i still think they're a great church, but i have to agree that some of their teachings are mucked up...all the stuff about the God-wants-us-to-have-lots-of-money-he'll-bless-you-with-lots-of-it-if-you-have-faith..
still, the most awesome and amazing thing isn't Hillsong Church, isn't the gorgeous songs, isn't the preaching, isn't their wonderful work with Mercy and other charities...it's the God!!! :D and it's the passion they have for God that i'm inspired by. took me quite a bit to realise that, actually.
PS. Yeah, Brian Houston wrote a book called "You Need More Money"..

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
