Costi Hinn

Alabama's law applies to survivors of any age.

Well, moving along, Christina, uh, I've mentioned Costi Hinn recently on the podcast and in my Signs and Wonders column, but I can't resist bringing him up again and directing you and our listeners to a new Business Insider video interview with him that I watched last night, and I gotta tell you, it's must-see TV as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, and in that interview, he lays out his upbringing as a nephew and even as a one-time personal assistant to Benny Hinn.

Now, that video has been out only a couple weeks, Warren, and already it has more than a million views.

I had the privilege of being a part of that as well as spending time with a whole lot of folks.

I saw Kosti Hinn.

It was always great to see Kosti and spend time with him talking about his uncle.

He gave some insights on Benny Hinn that were really, really like, you're kidding me.

I just read part of the transcript.

It was really, really quite extraordinary and really, really good and solid.

And Benny Hinn's gospel presentation can be really, really good, which raises the questions, which I sought to answer with Kosti Hinn.

How do you explain that? How do you explain a guy who's a false teacher and Who can preach the gospel? What do you do with that? We'll be releasing all of that stuff in the days ahead.

He has proved to be false multiple times over the decades.

Um, his own nephew did an entire documentary on how his uncle, Benny Hinn, fooled people for money.

And he knows that to be true because he said that he was part of it and participated in that for many, many years before he got saved.

He got convict...

But when you have time, go to YouTube and watch the entire documentary.

It's called Marjoe, and it was filmed in 1972.

And he just completely confessed , just like Benny Hinn's nephew Costi did, and he just said, "Hey, I was doing this thing for a long time, and I was fooling people, but I, I just, I just have to be honest, and I have to tell you what was really going on." Costi Hinn got saved.

Marjoe Gortner did not.

And then you think about your life, and there's usually a reworking along the way, like a thousand micro adjustments as you keep the car in the middle of the lane.

You just think, "Costi, what can your..." and then fill in the blank, "do for you if you stand guilty on Judgment Day before Christ?" What material assets can provide protection on Judgment Day? Could the world's applause replace the conscience that is burdened by sin? Will your money protect you when you stand before Christ? No.

There's only one.

It's Christ Himself and His righteousness.

And you give.

You're like, "There's my tithe and there's my offering," and you think you're paying God off.

You're like, "I got, I got some ground to make up, Costi." You know? You serve because you, you've been disobedient, and so you're like, "We need to serve.

I really need to serve." And, and you actually view Christianity the opposite way, where you can earn entrance into the kingdom, and you can, you can basically pay God off, and that's because somewhere along the line, you viewed God as this angry, mean, aggressive father, and you owe him a bunch of stuff, and money, and service, because you're a sinner, and you better do it all or you're not getting in.
