Bible Question: What is the this about Benny Hinnes? thanks I do hope he is living for one reason..and that is getting soul's saved. thanks |
Bible Answer: This post has nothing to do with Benny. It is in reply to your statment 'I do hope he is living for one reason ... and that is getting soul's saved.' I was recently challenged by this teaching, and I thought that you might like to read it too: "Nowadays the great passion is the passion for souls, but you never find that passion mentioned in the New Testament, it is the passion for Christ that the New Testament mentions. It is not a passion for men that saves men; a passion for men breaks human hearts. The passion for Christ inwrought by the Holy Ghost goes deeper down than the deepest agony the world, the flesh and the devil can produce. It goes straight down to where Our Lourd went, and the Holy Ghost works out, not in thinking, but in living, this passion for Christ. Whenever the passion for souls obscures the passion for Christ, Satan has come in as an angel of light." - Oswald Chambers That's a tough teaching, but I really think that it is true. I am striving to fix all my passion on God, not on men's souls (or anything else). |
