Christians have often wondered if it is safe to sing Hillsong music in their churches. To answer this question, we would like to point our readers to Brian Houston’s book “You Need More Money”. On the back cover, Houston advertises that this book is about how people can “become a money magnet”.
Houston reveals in the conclusion of his book that Hillsong music does capture his false prosperity gospel. Quick reminder – although he doesn’t express this in his book, Houston believes you cannot be right-standing with God or be in God’s will unless you put him first in your finances. Keep this in mind as you read below.
Here is the conclusion of Houstons book.
CONCLUSION
MORE THAN ENOUGH
“More than I could hope or dream of
You have poured your favour on me
One day in the house of God is
Better than a thousand in the world
So blessed, I can’t contain it
So much, I’ve got to give it away
Your love taught me to live now
You are more than enough for me*
The words of this song are a powerful confession of the promise of God. Written by Reuben Morgan, a young songwriter and worship leader in our church, he was inspired to write this song by the theme of the teachings in this book and the revelation of God’s blessing in one’s life.
With the heart of a loving Father, God wants to see you blessed in every area of your life, but His provision is so that you can bless others. You aren’t meant to hoard or contain it for yourself.
The principle is FIRST the Kingdom, and THEN all things will be added to you. As you begin to expand your thinking and apply His Word, you will see the promises of God at work in your life.
I love to see the people of our church being blessed, and I love to see the Word working in their lives, as they move forward and grow in God. I even love seeing things added to their lives, especially when I know they are building on the principle of first the Kingdom! It means that they are not only successful and blessed, but that they are unable to contain it, reaching out and making an impact beyond their own world.
My prayer is that this book releases you into a new dimension of blessing, that you are challenged to stretch and increase in all God has for your life. Yes, YOU NEED MORE MONEY – but now I trust you know why!” – Brian Houston, You Need More Money, Alken Press: Smithsfiedl, NSW, 1999, pg. 133-134. * © 1999 Reuben Morgan/Hillsong Music Australia.

Are Academy Awards possible for the forthcoming movie, with a Grammy Award for the soundtrack album! 🙂
If only you saw the lies and gimmicks they pulled on people at Hillsong Conference to buy their albums.
Their gimmicks are beyond sick and evil. We have nothing left to say how Hillsong perverts worship for filthy lucre’s sake and the glory of man.
You’ve reminded us to finish an article why Hillsong worship music is so corrupt and unholy to Christ and His church. Thank you.
@newtaste-
“More than I could hope or dream of
You have poured your favour on me
One day in the house of God is
Better than a thousand in the world
So blessed, I can’t contain it
So much, I’ve got to give it away
Your love taught me to live now
You are more than enough for me”
This ‘song’ seems to make out the the Lord is some kind of “divine auto teller”, and it also appears to sprout the idea that once you’ve received the ‘blessing’ you’re then required to “give it away”???
Well, Newtaste – what kind of ‘blessing’ is that? When you’ve only just gotten it, you just to give it away (to Brian and Bobbie no doubt…).
“Your love taught me to live now” – sounds like a hidden add for “Your Best Life Now…” rubbish…
Sounds like good old fashioned ‘seed planting’ of ideas to me – common amongst the cults and cultish churches – and NO, I don’t think that this kind of “music’ deserves an award… pitiful tripe if you ask me…
if they only say “house of God”, its probably so anybody can buy it.
don’t JW’s even use that term?
anyway the lyrics are generic, pumps up the sales.
nfg
@NFG – maybe i could help to rewrite the song, so that it would be more worthy…?
‘More than I could hope or dream up
You’ve not poured your scorn on me
One day in the house of Brian is
Better that a thousand at C3…”
Now there’s a few lines that deserve an award… so go ahead @newtaste – and give me one… 🙂
If you think you deserve an award, go ahead and give yourself one!
That song you quoted is so old it almost has to carbon dated. The Church Watch device of dragging up ancient history is rubbing off on the readers.
and kong hee at the end.. “amazing everybody, how about a big clap offering..!”
speaking of ‘Christian’ music.. one musician i started noticing a couple years ago moving far out there has been Gungor.
fyi on him.. last year i read he helped start bloom, which now looks true

anyway this is interesting but from what i keep noticing about gungor it does not surprise me. planet kolob here we come..

@newtaste – don’t you just love the smell of coffee…?
“The Church Watch device of dragging up ancient history is rubbing off on the readers.”
In the same way Joseph Prince and Benny Hinn have rubbed off on you, Newtaste?

Far be it from me to pick apart people’s comments on other blogs, but I must say churchwatcher – Benny Hinn has not received any real “attention” on this blog for quite some time, but don’t worry – I can fix that for you…
Of course, being one of the greatest all time deceivers to have infiltrated the Kingdom of God, Benny is still deserving of that ‘attention’, so lets give it to him:
