I thought that there was very little more to say about David Hind and Trinity Life Church. However I came across Hind's Twitter page yesterday and what I read was extremely concerning:

Darlene Zschech @DarleneZschech May 11
Positivity only takes you so far. In the eye of the storm, we need HOPE. hope is a person and His name is Jesus xx”
Darlene Zschech quotes are not something to boast about. Her singing is fantastic, but amongst other things she supports Roman Catholicism and is thoroughly ecumenical. Her songs contain some of the false Pentecostal Latter Rain theology which is anti-dispensational and amillennial.
IS HOPE A PERSON? The biblical definition of hope: a strong and confident expectation i.e. we hope in God.
SHOULD CHRISTIANS PRAY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Darlene Zschech: Holy Spirit Rain Down is a prayer to the Holy Spirit:

The teaching of Jesus Christ in Matthew 6/9-13 is for believers to pray directly to the Father. The New Testament also gives many examples of believers praying directly to Jesus Christ. However never at any time are prayers addressed to the Holy Spirit. You might ask: Why is this important? The Holy Spirit always leads people towards Jesus Christ, He never leads people to Himself. The classic mistake of the Israelites was to worship God illegitimately on the high places in contradiction to God's word. The idolatrous practices of the Israelites are given as examples and warnings in the New Testament so that Christians do not make their mistakes (1 Corinthians 10/6).
"The Israelites were commanded to destroy these places of idol worship, De 12:2, but instead of this, they imitated the heathen, and at first worshipped Jehovah in high places, 1 Samuel 9:12 1 Kings 3:4, and afterwards idols, 1 Kings 11:7 2 Kings 17:10,11. Here also they built chapels or temples, "houses of the high places," 1 Kings 13:32 2 Kings 17:29, and had regular priests, 1 Kings 12:32 2 Kings 17:32." http://biblehub.com/topical/h/high_places.htm
The practice of unauthorised worship underlies a much deeper problem. It is to go beyond what is written and to do what is wise in our own eyes; in other words unauthorised worship is rooted in rebellion against God and pride. Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu died because they offered unauthorised worship (strange fire) before the Lord (Leviticus 10/1; Numbers 3/4, 26/61). The Bible tells us to pray in the Spirit never to the Spirit: .....praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (Ephesians 6/18). Unauthorised worship is the gateway to deception and a counterfeit spirit.
I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favour of one against another. (1 Corinthians 4/6)
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119/105)
Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. (Proverbs 3/7)

LIGHTHOUSE CHURCH OADBY
“A privilege to be at the final Oadby Lighthouse Church celebration this morning.TLC @ Oadby campus begins on September 14th #excitingtimes.”
I did actually attend the Lighthouse Church about two years ago with some friends of mine for a very short period of time. However we had some concerns about finances and also about the pastor's meetings with ecumenical church leaders in Oadby (amongst other things). After the departure of Richard Greasley (the pastor) we actually considered going back to the Lighthouse. All I can say is that this terrible decision to come under the umbrella of TLC has confirmed our decision to leave – be it on their own heads!

Michael W Smith!!!! Another person whose music is fantastic; shame that he is a Luciferian though! There is a lot of information about Michael W Smith on the internet – here are three sites just for starters:

Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55/6-9)
