Money Helps You Have Faith

Benny Hinn is a well-known televangelist who produces the television show “This is Your Day” where he markets and sells his books, videos, CDs, and bibles. Benny Hinn uses ideas based on the “word-faith movement” along with “prosperity gospel”. These two ideas teach that through ones’ faith they can obtain anything they desire such health, wealth, or success. He has even stated that “by sowing a sufficient monetary seed into his ministry—that person will be granted divine physical healing.” Many Christian groups have actually criticized him for preaching the “Prosperity Gospel” and even misinterpreting scriptures multiple times. Hinn refuses to join the “Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability” which is a council that “is the leading accreditation agency that helps Christian ministries earn public’s trust through adherence to seven standards of accountability.” Sounds to me like Benny Hinn is not that credible of a “faith healer”; it sounds more like he is just after money.'
