Sydney has just hosted about 35,000 people from around the world at a huge Hillsong conference. Hillsong's CEO is Brain Houston, author of the (oddly absent from Amazon) 'You Need More Money: Discovering God's Amazing Financial Plan for Your Life'. (Here's the conference website... wait for the wonderful Christian Rock...)

Joseph Prince was there, preaching. It's a little awkward writing about it, since my current landlady is a keen Hillsong member, and has been getting up at 5.30am and returning at gone 11 to help at the conference. She also gives something like 10% of her earnings to the church, I think. Anyway, this is from his (mainly merchandise-selling) website:

Do you look at yourself and see only lack in the natural? Do you say, “I don’t have a good education”, “I am poor”, “I am too old” or “I am a divorcee”? I have good news for you. As a blood-bought believer and child of God, you have the supernatural favour of God!
