Although, Beth Moore recanted her involvement with the ‘Be Still’ DVD, and the promotion of Contemplative prayer, it seems that it was short lived, and is now again a cause of concern. (see Apprise article) Also, from her books/studies she tends to take and use scripture out of context to support what level of teaching she is on.
One critic wrote: “This particular teaching is plainly shown to take Scriptures out of context in an attempt to try to portray them as saying what she wants them to say. She does this so that her lessons will appear to carry the weight of Biblical authority. This is extremely dangerous, and if you are not paying attention, can sometimes be hard to detect. Rather than taking the Word in hand, and expounding on what it says, she is taking a thought or lesson she likes, and trying to find Scripture that might sound as though it agrees. This is backwards and wrong. It is essentially self-help delivered as being the Word of God! Add to that other teachings that flow from conversations she has had with God (which essentially elevates what she hears to the position of God’s infallible words) and you have spiritual food that is not good for eating.” (3)
Numerous articles on Beth Moore have been written by creditable discernment ministries such as PFO and others who have examined her teachings. http://www.pfo.org/Beth_Moore.htm
It is every Christian’s responsibility to Stand Firm in the Faith. We know there will be those who accuse us of being divisive, but we would say this:
To truly love someone is to strive for what is good for them and to oppose whatever harms them. That is true of husbands and wives love for each other, of parents for their children, of pastors for their congregations, and of believers for all other believers.
Unfortunately evangelicals who adhere strictly but unpretentiously to the inerrancy of Scripture and refuse to join ranks with those who claim to be Christian but who compromise or denigrate God’s Word are often wrongly accused of being divisive. But God’s true Church is bonded by His Word and the power of His indwelling spirit, who applies and builds the church on and through that Word. (1)
** As we grow as Christians and do our Bible studies we want to make sure we are taught by teachers who rightly dividing the Word. 2 Tim 2:15 says:
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “
Word of Truth: Truth defines the nature of Scripture. It is a beacon of truth in the darkness of all kinds of falsehoods. Teachers of the bible should make every effort to handle His truth (God’s Word) accurately. Failure to do so will lead to divine judgment (see James 3:1). (2)
“My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.”
Receive a stricter Judgment: Teachers: teachers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ and be judged more strictly than others. Their greater influence translates into greater responsibility. Judgment here most likely does not refer to eternal separation from God; rather it suggest a thorough judgment of teachers before Christ. (Matt 5:19; Rom. 14:10-12). Leadership imposes responsibility. (2)
