2ndPeter 2:1-3, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”
Ah yes, they shall MAKE MERCHANIDSE OF YOU! The following quotes expose Hillsong and it's apostate founders Brian and Bobbie Houston:
"Brian's intuitive genius is marketing," says one senior churchman, who asks not to be quoted. "Hillsong is a culture – success, beautiful people, a positive message and nothing negative. The message is, 'You're awesome and God is awesome and we are God's chosen and we have to be seen to be awesome.' And when you tease out what awesome means, it basically means prosperity. They go very close to going that to be poor is sinful, to be saved successful."Sociologist Andrew Jakubowicz, of the University of Technology Sydney, observes that "this is not a church where the leader washes the feet of beggars".But Houston is unapologetic about the self-advancement psychology embedded in Hillsong's message. "I'd rather give people some hope than no hope," he says. "We encourage them to look to Jesus and build their lives on the right foundations. My methods are relatable in a world where many say the church is a dying force. And I'm not prepared as a church leader to just sit there and let it die."Just as the Murdochs have taken three generations to build an empire, the Houstons have taken three generations to build Hillsong into the behemoth it is today. The more it grows, the more adherents see this as proof of divine endorsement."People are not looking for stale religion" with "dilapidated buildings filled with narrow-minded, self-righteous finger pointers", Houston writes in his most recent book, Live Love Lead, released in July. "I am convinced beyond a doubt that God didn't create us to live mediocre, settle-for-less lives."
As a fundamentalist Bible preacher I'd like to break down some of Brian Houston's preceding statements. Hillsong is indeed A CULTURE of health, wealth and prosperity for it's greedy leaders! ...
- "I'd rather give people some hope than no hope" - Do you see what Brian Houston did? He equates Bible preaching with no hope. It's either his way or the highway.
- "We encourage them to look to Jesus and build their lives on the right foundations" - The only right foundation is Jesus Christ, but not in the way that Houston portrays Him. They exploit Jesus to make a buck, making money off the masses by lying to them, promising health, wealth and prosperity in exchange for donations.
- "My methods are relatable in a world where many say the church is a dying force. And I'm not prepared as a church leader to just sit there and let it die" - The church is a dying force only because people will not endure sound doctrine anymore. The church is not the problem, society has changed. Since 1946 television has provided a substitute for the local church. The local church cannot compete with the TV!
- "'People are not looking for stale religion' with 'dilapidated buildings filled with narrow-minded, self-righteous finger pointers'" - Narrow minded? Here we seen evidence of what the Bible warned about people rejecting sound doctrine (the truth). People don't want to hear THE TRUTH anymore, they want entertainment. They want to attend a church that doesn't pressure them to change. Homosexuals are welcomed in their UNREPENTANT STATE in today's Hillsong churches. Anybody can attend and be held in good standing. You can dress any way you want. Women wear tight pants and halter tops. Men wear ripped out jeans. Homosexuals are welcome in their sin! Brian and Bobbie Houston are making tons of money by providing a FALSE CHURCH for sinners who won't endure sound doctrine to attend.
Hillsong CANNOT be recommended. Since the music and teaching come out of the same church, the danger of being drawn into their errors is very great, more so than singing the hymns of a long dead hymn writer with whom we might not agree. We would not promote the music of the Roman Catholic Church or the Mormons, no matter how good that music might be, and neither should we promote Hillsong. We must expose Hillsong's unscriptural acceptance of women pastors, its shady financial irregularities, the increasing promotion of 'Chrislam' (i.e., claiming Muslims worship the same God as Christians), vote stacking on Australian Idol, an empire of greed, et cetera. As the churches become more worldly, so also is the world becoming more churchy!
God didn't command believers to stay and try to clean-up and change a bad place, He told us to LEAVE! ...
2nd Corinthians 6:17-18, “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
Christians needs to COME OUT of Hillsong and find a true Bible-believing local church to attend. The Hillsong brand is a culture of worldly music, worldly dress, worldly associations, worldly philosophies, worldly greed, et cetera. The leaders of this movement are all millionaires!!! Jesus said he that is greatest among you shall be your servant! At the end of the day Hillsong's leaders are serving themselves, lining their pockets, making tons of money.
It is sickening to see Joyce Meyer giving money to the poor as a front for her greedy ministry. Take a look at the sinful extravagant lavish lifestyle that she enjoys. Meyer charges people $1,000 to $5,000 just to meet her! That is disgusting!!! You couldn't pay me to meet that horrible Jezebel! These greedy people from the TBN, CBN and Hillsong all belong in prison! They take advantage of millions of people, promising healing and wealth that never comes in exchange for donations!!! Bobbie Houston wears sensual tight unladylike pants. She blabs her mouth from the pulpit, sinning by usurping authority in the church.
Sad but true, our churches have become rock concerts! The speakers are women, dress like bums, jam on electric guitars, and today's wicked society can relate to them. Many people think that is good but it's not, it proves what the Bible warned in 2nd Timothy 4:4, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” I can name a dozen fundamentalist Baptist pastors today whose preaching would change people's lives, but you'll never hear them on television, because people today don't want to hear sound doctrine!
One of the most dangerous false prophets of our time is Miss Joyce Meyer. The Bible strictly forbids women preachers. Hillsong is of the Devil. Hillsong is a Satanic substitute for local New Testament churches. The organization as a whole takes in BILLIONS of dollars in revenues. Hillsong promotes an assortment of apostates; namely, J.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Robert Jeffress, Creflo Dollar, Joseph Prince, Steven Furtick, et cetera. None of these apostates will preach THE TRUTH against the homosexual movement. That is why Pastor Steven Anderson is hated and censored by the media, because he PREACHES the truth. What saith the Scripture? ...
2nd Timothy 4:3-4, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
The Bible says that the time will come (and it is here in 2021) when the world WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE! Instead they will “heap” (a bunch of them) false teachers (e.g., Bill Johnson, Louie Giglio, Joseph Prince, Earl McClellan, Carl Lentz, and Hillsong's Global Senior Pastors Brian & Bobbie Houston, Robert Jeffress, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, et cetera). NONE of these apostate PREACH THE WORD as the Bible commands!!!
I just watched Joyce Meyer on TV. Her sinful show is literally called: “Enjoying life television program.” I'm not kidding folks! The enjoying life television program? You've got to be kidding me? All of the apostate ministers I just mentioned are pulling on the same rope as the Devil, including Pastor Robert Jeffress in Dallas, Texas.
Kindly said, Pastor T.D. Jakes is a loud-mouthed foolish old man. He is guilty of propagating the same health-wealthy and prosperity message as the rest of the Hillsong culture. I'm listening now to T.D. Jakes speak a message called: “The Danger Of Low Expectations.” You see, their sermons are all rooted in human psychology, not the inspired Word of God. They don't preach theology. They don't preach the doctrine of Christ. They intentionally avoid doctrinal issues, lest somebody be offended. So they stick to non controversial topics that wouldn't offend anyone. That is not Bible preaching, it is sinful compromise!!!
1st Corinthians 14:34, “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.” 1st Timothy 2:11-12, “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”
These are woeful apostate times! Bobbie Houston is sinning by preaching! She should take off those tight slacks and go put a long dress on! These are worldly people who've crept into the church, exploiting the name of Jesus to make a buck. They are not godly people! What has happened folks is that the Devil's crowd didn't like God's churches, so they started their own churches! Hillsong churches are the Devil's churches. Why do you think they beg incessantly for your money? An unlearned believer might think Hillsong is a great thing, since people actually want to attend these liberal churches!
I visited one of these modern churches. They had dry ice spraying into the air on stage, being pierced by blue and red disco-style flashing lights through the mist. I felt like I was in a nightclub. I was watching the colorful decorative lights being shone on the ceiling, moving around. The room's lighting was darkened as the band performed a Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) song. I heard the drums and the guitars, the oohs and the aahs, while their eyes were closed as the performers sang. I did learn something helpful from the sermon. The Lord was glorified by their mouths. I did enjoy myself. I did like being around another professed Christians. But the presence of the Holy Spirit wasn't there in their worship! There was a worldly spirit that permeated the whole event. Sad but true, the world has crept into the churches, and people today absolutely WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE anymore! ...
2nd Timothy 4:3-4, “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
You won't hear rebuking and reproving in today's churches! The sad fact is that people simply won't go to church anymore unless you entertain them. Entertainment has become our God. I have been to numerous churches that have brought the world's entertainment into the church, and they feel phony. It is synthetic sycophantic worship! You might as well go to your favorite pop concert. Matthew 15:8-9, “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
