So Austin Powers made an appearance at Hillsong UK’s Colour Conference. You think that’s bad? Do you know who was dressed as Austin Powers?
Hillsong decided to advertise the popular pervert on Instagram. Below, Hillsong tagged those who were on stage at all-girls Colour Conference.
WE LOVE THESE THREE! Craziest flag moment ever? We think so! #ColourConf

The issue is not just that Austin Powers took the stage. The greater issue here is this:
Senior Pastor of Hillsong UK, Gary Clarke, thought it was appropriate to dress up as a popular perverton stage IN CHURCH in front of thousands of women of all ages in a woman’s conference.
How is that not creepy?
What are Hillsong leaders thinking? (Then again, Hillsong are known to promote a culture that promotes perverts like Brian Houston’s father.)
Senior Pastor Gary Clark
Finally Gary – this is for you:
The qustion is now, will ‘Selah Baby Selah’ continue parading her ‘Yeah Baby Yeah’ at her women’s conference around the world?
These people really are *proud* of what they do, and pride is an attribute that is utterly detestable in the eyes of God.
Haughty eyes and a proud heart,
the lamp of the wicked, are sin. Proverbs 21:4
Why did Bobbie Houston say “Selah Baby Selah” ?
Bobbie Houston’s motto really is “Deceive Baby Deceive” .

Cheers, Team Churchwatch.
this is a circus, what is the purpose of these conferences, why do church leaders feel the need to have them every year. from what i see of conferences they are places of buying and selling.
where the well know pastors are marketing and promoting their latest books and dvds.
they take so much and they don’t give anything back. they promise so much but offer so little.

Your typing is quite hard to understand – can you please use punctuation?
Sorry to read you’re having a bad time; I know how hard it can be to get over it. Being told to “just think positive” isn’t good enough.
You need to read the bible regularly and listen to good balanced preaching to help you restore balance in your thinking. e.g. from http://www.sermonaudio.com
You need to take your eyes off your feelings, your past and your current struggles, then put your eyes and KEEP them on Jesus. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+12%3A1-3&version=KJV

2– “this site are just weak brothers”
Hypocrite.

Oh dear,oh dear, oh deary
The depraved message of Austin Powers is bad in itself, and clearly not inspired by the Holy Spirit. But even on the human logic level, Hillsong suppose themselves to be “relevant”, right? Well nothing like having to dig up a pop culture icon (Austin Powers) that is almost 20 years old. For supposedly being “relevant”, that sounds like stale bread.
I remember when I was in Hillsong we were encouraged to think that doing cool, zany entertaining things in church was proof positive that we weren’t pharasaical or religious – and all those staid, hymn singing bunch were the Pharisees.
Found out it was a lot deeper than how things look on the surface.
That is because the New Apostolic Reformation was and still is driving the philosophy behind Hillsong. Christianity was concerned churches would lose their holiness and become worldly with the rise of pop culture present on film and television. Christian churches have managed to juggle this thorny issue. However, the NAR philosophy is reactionary against Christians who do not embrace new technologies and culture. In fact, some strains of the NAR philosophy determined some were apostles depending how skilled they were with modern technology and cultural engaging factors if their outcomes were growing churches (all under the mantra, “This is what God is doing to reach and impact the culture”).
If you watch Brian Houston in his 2014 VIsion Sunday presentation Sunday, he talks about how his church started to grow when he grabbed a rope up on stage, swung out to the audience and made everyone laugh. That was the starting point of Brian’s church growth gimmickry.
Hillsong was never founded not on Christ. It was founded on disqualified men, their unbelief fuelling the growth of their movement by being relevant and pushing every man-made philosophy under the sun (using the bible and Jesus’ name of course).
Frankly, the sooner the church rejects Hillsong for what it is, a cult, the sooner Christianity can start recovering that which is lost: the gospel, and hopefully, their will be a revival and reformation in the ranks of Hillsong that prove without a shadow of a doubt that they have repented of their apostasy and recenter their entire foundations on Christianity – not men and their ideas.
To give a clear picture which this article does not, nor any other article I’ve found on this, can anyone tell me why they were dressed up like this? To make a point? Just for fun? No videos I’ve seen have had them leading worship like this, despite some sites saying so.
