Brian Houston: “the Muslim and you, we actually serve the same God”
Hillsong is famous all around the Christian world for their worship music. But what god does Hillsong worship? What god do they serve? Does your church sing Hillsong music? Do you find the songs generally vague and lacking scriptural substance in contrast to hymns?
Well brace yourself. Brian Houston believes that Christians and Muslims serve the same God. Watch him say it yourself:
Brian Houston says,
“How do you view God? In a desert there’s
two types of birds: there’s vultures and there’s hummingbirds. One lives
off dead carcasses, rotting meat. The other lives off the beautiful,
sweet nectar in a particular flower on a particular desert plant. In the
same desert, they both find what they’re looking for.
Do you know – take it all the way back
into the Old Testament and the Muslim and you, we actually serve the
same God. Allah to a Muslim, to us Abba Father God. And of course
through history, those views have changed greatly. But lets make sure
that we view God through the eyes of Jesus, the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the beauty of a Saviour, the loving open inclusive arms of a
loving God. And that way we’ll lead out of that and you’ll be purposeful
about your leadership and you’ll draw people just like the Lord Jesus
always does through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
