Bible Question: How does he have such a successful ministry? |
Bible Answer: Hi Cloud, How does Benny Hinn have a successful ministry? I can't answer that directly as there may be many factors involved. However, The medium of television is very powerful and given an individual with charisma, it can be used effectively. The medium is the message! Scripturally, 2 Tim. 4:3-4 may give us a pretty good basis though: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths." For a really penetrating analysis, Neil Postmans' excellent work, albeit secular "Amusing Ourselevs to Death" should provide a solid framework. I hope this helps, BradK |
