Hypocrite: Pastor BILL HYBELS coming to Kampala in November 2008.
Pastor Bill Hybels is coming to Kampala in November,2008 to hold a leaders SEMINAR in Imperial royale hotel. Every participant is supposed to pay 50,000(ABOUT 32US$) Uganda shillings. This is a lot of money and so many poor Ugandan pastors can not afford. Therefore his seminar will be dominated by the rich Kampala prosperity pastors. Pastor Loren Davis had a seminar on Sound Doctrine in Kampala in March this year. Bro.Loren sponsored the seminar him self including the meals because he was aware that many African cannot afford to pay. If Bill Hybels wants to equip African leaders to spread the gospel, why charge a lot of money???? Why not put the seminar in a cheap place like Nakivubo stadium, so that the poor can attend. The bible says, you will see them by their fruits.

Truth Watch: Assessment / Warning
Hybel’s is part of the unbiblical Church Growth Movement that effectively puts ‘people-pleasing’ and and a soft self-esteem message ahead of the true gospel. Christians need to be careful and discerning in utilising any Willow Creek material.
Hybel’s advocates the use of modern marketing methods which are employed in order to discover what people want and then structure programmes in order to make them feel comfortable in church and so enjoy a meeting without feeling guilt or shame. This results in a “soft gospel” presented in an atmosphere glitz and entertainment incorporating drama humour and pop music.
In his book Honest to God it seems that the gospel for man is presented as a relationship with Jesus Christ to avoid “mindless misinterpretations of masculine identity”. Whereas the gospel for the women is that Jesus Christ offers freedom from being people pleasers thus allowing her to “satisfy her need for inner security”.
Willow Creek adopts the unbiblical practice of accepting women in leadership roles and teaching posts.
Both Bill Hybels and his wife have undergone humanistic psychological counselling and the church is reported to employ full time psychologists.
Bill Hybels has served on the board of James Dobson’s “Focus on the Family” which, although it often offers sound biblical advice, also incorporates the false gospel of self esteem.
Books by hardcore psychologist who’s writings are based on Freudian principles are sold and endorsed by Hybels.
A Catholic priest has spoken from Hybel’s pulpit.
