It is Scary Out There
Letter from Benny Hinn in italics:
Dear Partner,
I come to you with a broken heart You may have heard by now that my wife, Suzanne, whom I love very much and always will, filed for a divorce on February 1…It was a total shock when her lawyer called me the morning of February 17 to inform me that she had filed 16 days before. Even though Suzanne has been under great stress, the children and I never expected this to happen… My wife has no biblical grounds for what she has done…
We both have kept our covenant with God and stayed pure before Him and I am praying with all my heart that our precious Lord Jesus will heal my family and protect His work for His glory…
I want you, as my partner in this ministry, to know that I am going to continue preaching the gospel and praying for the sick as I have for 36 years. I will not allow anything to slow me down or stop me.”
I love you very much, Benny Hinn
Although I have never been a follower of Benny Hinn, (to much hype & maybe the hair do) I still find it chilling that you can be married to someone for 30 years and not see (or discern) this level of discontentment. Mike Mason in his book “The Mystery of Marriage” writes, “It is estimated that only five percent of marriages are truly happy and fulfilling unions…A bad marriage…can be the worst thing in the world, and perhaps the only thing worse yet is bad theology, a bad marriage with God…In both marriage and faith it is the quality of devotion that is tested, the ability to give unwavering and undivided trust in one direction.”
Hopefully this will stir us all to examine our own relationships and what we believe and practice.
It is scary out there…
Pastor Gary
