Josh Buice, director of the G3 Conference (which I really<\/i> wish I was attending this year), wrote a great article at Delivered By Grace, which you can read by clicking here<\/a>. The article was wisely entitled Passion Without Knowledge is Deadly<\/i>. That’s not only a warning concerning Underwood’s cameo, it’s a concern regarding the conference et al<\/i>.<\/p>\n Over the last couple of days, John Piper and Matt Chandler have both drawn criticism online for reposting — okay, hang on, this is going to get confusing — a comment from Beth Moore taken from the sermon she preached at Passion as summarized by Louie Giglio’s wife, Shelley, and retweeted by Ann Voskamp. Did that make sense?<\/p>\n Here was Moore’s comment as recalled by Shelley Giglio and retweeted by Voskamp<\/a>:<\/p>\n You will watch a generation of Christians — OF CHRISTIANS — set the Bible aside in an attempt to become more like Jesus. And stunningly it will sound completely plausible. This will be perhaps the cleverest of all the devil’s schemes in your generation. Sacrifice TRUTH for LOVE’s sake. And you will rise or fall based upon whether you will sacrifice one for the other. Will you have the courage to live in the tension of both TRUTH and LOVE? -Beth Moore<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Now that sounds about right, right? Someone in my congregation might even say, “Brother Gabe, haven’t you preached that exact same thing?” I have. I have warned my congregation about teachers in particular who will set the Bible aside while calling for unity — “just love” at the expense of the truth. In fact and ironically, Beth Moore is one of those teachers I’ve warned about.<\/p>\n About three years ago, Beth Moore spoke at James Robison’s Awaken Now conference where she said the following<\/a> about a coming revival:<\/p>\n “I believe that the Lord has placed it on my heart to tell you that as it comes, and it will… If we’ll be willing to stop telling what it has to look like, it’s coming. But we must be prepared in advance for scoffers. I’m going to say that again: we must be prepared in advance for scoffers. I want you to look at one another and say, ‘Be prepared for scoffers.’ And here’s the thing: the unbelieving world’s scoffing is not going to bother us that much. We’re used to them thinking that we are idiots… But it’s going to come from some in our own Christian realm, our own brothers and sisters. We’re going to have people who are honestly going to want to debate and argue with us about awakening and downpours. They’re going to say, ‘That’s not the way it should look.’ You know what, dude? I’m just asking you are you thirsty?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n At Awaken Now 2014, we have Beth Moore warning about those who are going to be critical regarding what authentic unity should look like according to the Bible. At Passion 2017, we have Beth Moore pleading with Christians to watch out for those who are going to set aside the Bible for the sake of unity.<\/p>\n If the statement from Passion 2017 came from anyone else but Moore, I’d be fine with it. Like I said, I’ve preached on that very thing as recently as the last few weeks<\/a>. But Beth Moore does ministry with noted heretics like Joel Osteen<\/a> and Joyce Meyer<\/a>. So when she says that there are Christians who are going to set the Bible aside for love’s sake, I look at her ministry and I see her doing that exact thing.<\/p>\n
