Reading Hillsong

"Why would God give you the ability to get wealth, if he didn't want you to HAVE ALL THAT MONEY?" THIS fantastic logic continues on through Chapter 6, but wasn't applied to any other illegal, immoral, or fattening behaviours. However, when it comes to money, the message is clear: POOR people CAN'T help ANYONE. RICH people are THE BEST because they CAN HELP everyone. all over the world. ALL THAT MO...

We read Deuteronomy to get scared about money. We make jokes about McDonald's. We discuss how you shouldn't have debts you can't pay. Just rent buildings for $1 a year. Brian was able to pay the rent 'all by myself'! Get yourself a miracle. Don't pay your Mastercard with your Visa and then your Visa with your Amex. Lots of other good advice. Hosted on Acast.

The prodigal son was not the problem in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It was the son who stayed behind and complained and didn't want to splash out. Sort of like people who have depression. Somehow. Listen close... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Brian finds himself in L.A., NOT loving money and sees Jack Nicholson give money to a beggar even though NO ONE else is around. This has a profound effect BCH recalls selling his car to a congregant (probably at a great tax-free, cash profit, then leased a new one) and randomly the buyer finds the car all keyed up and we wonder if it's another Hazel Houston car story mystery. References to tax dod...

money is good. it's great. money is the best. some people say that whole camel/eye of needle thing is a big deal. it's not. there's more verses in the bible that if you say with more emphasis and different pauses make it sound like God insists you run after the cash in your life. Gaslight gaslight, you make god happy when you prosper. Go for the gold! with Leaving Hillsong Queen Natalie Moses Host...

Poor people are gross. They are losers who aren't going anywhere. You don't want to be like them. There's a bible verse that if you look at it sideways in the dark supports this idea. Rich people are the best. with Glen Moses Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Scrubology! Fun times continue at LHCBC under MATRON'S supervision and Matron knows everything! She supervised chores and more chores, and students' wives meetings, where used clothing and vegetables could be shared. Matrons get rotated and oh how the students must adapt and learn to the changes! the pranks and tears continue! Then there were the house parents and finally, Matron's Memos...don't m...

Lecturers came and went at the Lower Hutt bible college and Hazel drops many a name including her husband's. But oh the laughs and the tears as the "long-winded but boring" classes (according to her son-in-law) carried on and on. Neville Johnson and Hetrick and all the gang were there making for a college of strong patriarchal and conservative values and introducing the visiting preacher circuit!...

Hazel cracks out her sense of humour in the title, given it's a college, but hey, growth is here and here to stay. Hazel uses a telephone and meets 'a dark fellow' but all ends well, because, it's all part of 'the plan'. :) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bible college is tough so the students get treated like guinea pigs and get up to all kinds of pranks and silliness. Sometimes they study too hard and sometimes not enough. Some like rules. Some break them. But Lower Hutt was never the same once the Houstons hit it up, that's for sure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hazel and Frank refuse to see sense in stopping the lifelong lived delusion even when Frank gets sick but not enough to die.  The book finally ends. Yay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Frank is moving and shaking in the gifts, prophesying and correcting people everywhere he goes and calling out their demons.  Having lost any previous fear of getting anything wrong, Frank corrects people's tongues and interpretations and he knows what's in people's purses.  Hazel can only worry that the same thing might happen to her while Frank is out of town.  But Frank is unstoppable.  One nig...

Hazel marvels at how Brian and Frank are like peas in a pod, right after Brian agrees it's a fantastic idea to start an Arts/Theology College.  Frank and Hazel travel around looking for new buildings and churches to start and chuck a couple at Brian to look after to keep him out of the house and busy.  Hazel outlines that Frank is the person who started everything and let pastors manage under his...

Hazel talks about all the joys of having children but actually just highlights their secret shames and does so one by one.  Frank prays and warns people not to be seen mixing with the Beatles fans but there is rebellion in the ranks.  Deliverance meetings cause Beverly pain and Graeme ends up in weeks of depression which isn't cured with Frank's interventions, oddly enough Then one day, one of the...

Hazel invites us all to share in her marriage secrets, which involves mostly Frank losing his mind and Hazel tolerating the outbursts of rage and emotion.  Frank gets out of bed to go see Billy at 230 am as Hazel relates that time she slept through someone's emergency phone call chat for 2 hours! Hazel says that after 39 years of marriage they knew each other's thoughts so she must have known abou...
