		<description>A few years ago I actually stated watching and listening to Hinn without predisposition and an openness to actually believe what was going on. In that time I found myself to be very surprised by what the ministry is doing over all. He actually has teaching ministry in addition to This Is Your Day, which is actually quite insightful. It took a lot of humility for me to come to accept prosperity teaching and healing and the like.

I think the problem that exists in those circles is the same that exists in all circles of biblical teaching - group think. It&#039;s not that they are wrong, it&#039;s that a certain aspect of Scripture is opened up to them and they keep digging in that one direction and expect every other believer to be the same. Though I definitely have preferences for a different style of ministry, I come to understand that not all ministries need or should look the same.

Honestly, there probably are tons of churches who don&#039;t give enough to a pastor and don&#039;t have a pastor that tells them that in doing so they are falling short of what God desires for them. In God&#039;s eyes that&#039;s just as bad as.

One last example which I believe shows where his heart really rests:
On one show a woman got healed and on stage he asked if she would like to receive Jesus Christ as her savior since He brought her the healing and she said &quot;no.&quot; Understand that every other time I&#039;ve seen this people said &quot;yes.&quot; He was visibly taken back by her answer and asked again. And she responded the same again.</description>
