Hillsong's monkey business

From the same people that brought us Mr. Sparkle, comes...The Monkey. It's a whole new type of  "worship" experience. Or maybe it's just a silly dance/exercise thing?  

We're not sure, but we think we may have spotted a golden calf in there somewhere.

Aren't you glad your kids are off the street at nights and are attending, well... church?

'Ekstasis worship'?

Did you know Patricia King wants you to experience Ekstasis Worship? We will let Patricia King introduce you to this bizzarre worship experience:

"Have you ever heard the term 'Ekstasis worship'? No? Well many people haven't. It's a powerful word. It's a Greek word that means... well you'll find out in a little while. Because I want to introduce to you Caleb Brundidge.

He's one of our itinerant ministries. But also a worshiper with so much passion. In fact if you've been to any of our conference, you would see Caleb flagging and worshiping God and opening up the heavens and operating in a real breaker level anointing.

He is actually a DJ as well and leads a lot of Christian events and weddings and you know, High School events and things like that. So if you would like to know more about him, he's on our itinerant page on our website. But today, he's going to tell you about Club Mysterio and about the Ekstasis worship that takes place to bring those times of gathering together. So it's my privilege to introduce to you Caleb Brundidge."

She aired this following segment on XP media. (You can see Patricia King 55 seconds in.)

Here's a promo video to introduce people to Ekstasis "worship," where you "disengage the mind and experience God at a cellular level" (or maybe you just dance around a bunch):

 The Elijah List allowed Caleb Brundidge to explain his teachings more. To read more on this (and, surprise! buy his CDs), click here.

Are you ready for the Word?

Founding pastor Brian Houston of Hillsong Church asked his Hillsong Church London, "Are you ready for the Word?" This was the response to Brian Houston's question:

 Did you know that Galatians 5:1 means Christ has set us free to "move it, move it"?

Here are some of the lyrics to the above song:

"We don't party hardly, we just party hard

And not because we're bored

We do it cos we're born again!"

This idolatry piece get's even weirder at 5:30, when Mister Sparkly makes an appearance. You've gotta admit, this is one amazingly elaborate and professional production. If attracting  a large audience and then whipping them into a frenzy is the goal, Hillsong is very successful.
