Hillsong’s Brian Houston hits back at Israel Folau after the rugby star criticises the prosperity gospel
Last year Brian Houston, the founder of Hillsong Church, commended Israel Folau’s bravery for his stance on Same-Sex Marriage. Well, it seems now the rugby star may have fallen out of favour with the mega-church pastor after a series of Instagram posts criticising prosperity preachers. Houston, author of ‘You Need More Money,’ took offense to at least four of Folau’s recent posts. The first stated, “The mega church preaches happiness not holiness. Without holiness no one shall see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14).” In the comments section, Houston replied, “The message [is] not holiness or happiness. The message is JESUS. And its our focus…

Speaking to others in this new marketplace of ideas where pithy soundbites win, he was queried, “May we know how homosexuals fit within this teaching that you are presenting?” He responded: “HELL… Unless they repent of their sins and turn to God.” Eleven words was all it took. Many scorned, and the nation was inflamed against Folau. Well, not the nation, but certainly that which touts itself as the proverbial mouthpiece of the nation – the…

Israeli archaeologists find 2,700-year-old artifact that backs the Bible
Israeli archaeologists have discovered a 2,700-year-old seal, validating accounts in the Bible which describe the existence of a governor in the city. The seal, unearthed near the plaza of the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, bears an inscription in ancient Hebrew that reads, “belonging to the governor of the city.” According to the excavator, Dr Shlomit Weksler-Bdolah, the seal “supports the Biblical rendering of the existence of a governor of the city of Jerusalem 2,700 years ago.” The governor of Jerusalem is mentioned twice in the Bible, but until now no archaeological artifacts had been discovered. According…
