A "Hillsong church" worship leader has come out of the closet and is planning to marry his gay partner. I say we pray for these brothers, we pray that someone will come along and love them enough to show them the truth. Obviously the Hillsong church is more concerned with being popular, than with taking an unpopular stance on a very popular subject.
I dislike it very much when "christians" point the finger at gay folks and condemn them to hell, to me telling a sinner that he is sinning is like telling a dead man that he is dead. Well then again, it is exactly the same. What we should be sharing with the sinners is NOTHING other than the way to life, through Jesus. Nothing more, nothing less. Who am I to point out their sins, as I myself am a pretty successful sinner. However, (you knew it was coming), the bible clearly states that we are to teach other believers what sin is, and the results of it. And if they don't listen? We are to expel them and leave them over to their sins. This is exactly what God does. When we deny him, he is the perfect gentleman and leaves us alone, which means we are free to sin about the country.
The problem with this scenario of the Hillsong brothers, is that their own church doesnt love them enough to tell them as believers that their choices are sinful, and that sin leads to death. Sometimes physical, sometimes spiritual, sometimes eternal, but always death. Somebody's gotta love these brothers enough to show them the statistics on the gay lifestyle, and that those numbers prove what God said, "the wages of sin is death". Somebody has to love them enough to tell them the truth even if it costs millions of dollars. Millions of dollars is of course what Hillsong stands to lose by making a stand. Millions of dollars is the price tag that has been put on these boys' life. What do you think their life is worth to God?
Paul said to "expel" the wicked person, and yes he was talking about believers. Non believers? never expel them, eat lunch with them like Jesus did. In this case the wicked is the Hillsong church, NOT the two men. Don't twist the two, or confuse the two,they are being "coddled" by their church that what they are doing is OK. I personally believe it's time for all the God loving, God fearing churches in the world to expel Hillsong from their communities. No music, no messages, no attention, and most of all no money. This is probably more important than boycotting a President that says "gay marriage is OK". Well in the eyes of man it is OK, and our President is a man, but in the eyes of God it's not OK, and Hillsong is supposed to represent the eyes of God.

It's not personal Hillsong, but then again it is, while your making crappy self centered worship music, collecting a ton of money, and looking super "hip" on TV, the world is dying........
