The Missing Accountability:
Multiple people tried to raise concerns about Hillsong for years. They were silenced, dismissed, or pushed out. When church leadership prioritizes reputation over repentance, scandal is inevitable.
Where Mackenzie Morgan Was Right
In her 2021 post, Morgan wondered if she was “overthinking” the issue. Three years and countless scandals later, the answer is clear: she wasn’t.
She was right that theology matters. She was right that worship isn’t neutral. She was right that churches needed to stop financially supporting ministries teaching a false gospel. And she was right that many Christians were singing songs “less than worthy of a Sovereign and Holy God.”
The question now isn’t whether Morgan was right to sound the alarm. It’s whether the rest of the church will listen.
The Call to Action
Morgan ended her 2021 Facebook post with a simple challenge: “Compare it with Scripture.”
Not with what’s popular. Not with what your church has always done. Not with what makes people feel good.
With Scripture.
Because as Morgan wrote—and as Hillsong’s implosion has proven—”There are no gray areas in God’s Word.”
