I live in Australia and have watched Hillsong or as it is affectionately known over here as 'Hellsong' deliver a gospel that is so far from The Gospel I don't understand how Christians no longer engage their minds and discern the lies they promote through this sensual christianity they are promoting.<br /><br />For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (ESV)phydEauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721945306925434916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545303461282245799.post-79171983129928931402010-11-10T06:15:40.149-06:002010-11-10T06:15:40.149-06:00Thank you Gary.

I just don't know how to respond in a positive way to this book.<br /><br />Anybody who teaches that money is power, and that money makes the world go 'round, is not someone I could trust.<br /><br />If you search my blog, you'll find that pretty much nothing else I've written comes close to being vehement.<br /><br />Money is nothing compared to gaining wisdom. His book may make a mention of the necessity of wisdom, but Brian is clearly putting money as the center of how one impacts the world, at least in this book.<br /><br />Troy, I'm sorry if you find my review harsh or disheartening. It is not my way to be fierce, but being on guard against false teachings is one of the most common subjects in the entire New Testament.<br /><br />I stand by what I've written, regardless of whether he still endorses the book. You can read it for yourself.<br /><br />Unity is crucial in Christianity, but not at the expense of orthodoxy. <br /><br />Jesus did not promise that we would gain material prosperity by following Him. He said we would be hated and killed.<br /><br />The Gospel of Mark (from which Brian draws his "Rich Young Man" text) does not emphasize inward attitudes; Mark is only concerned with simple, outward obedience. When Jesus told the man to sell everything he had and come follow Jesus with not a dime to his name, that is what Jesus meant.<br /><br />This idea that Jesus was concerned only with inward spiritual attitude simply does not cut it.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350640852962668641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545303461282245799.post-48355483344092611672010-03-08T16:18:57.732-06:002010-03-08T16:18:57.732-06:00sorry here's the link:
