This is a most valuable article (read it earlier this week) and I’m glad you posted it here. Husbands who don’t already know need to understand there are real issues with Beth Moore. It’s not popular to say, but we still have the God-given responsibility to lead our wives spiritually. I’m thankful my wife listens and values my opinion on these matters. I know that’s not the case in every marriage.
Here’s another warning about Beth Moore:
“Why Beth Moore and Not Me? The Danger of Claiming to Receive Direct Revelation”

While searching for the linked article above, I discovered this tweet from Phil Johnson, Executive Director of John MacArthur’s Grace to You:
“The main trouble in the church today is not the wolfishness of the wolves; it’s the sheepishness of the sheep.”
Later he followed that tweet up with:
“Some survivor-bloggers misconstrued my “sheepishness” Tweet. My point: Wolfish doctrines would get nowhere if not for ovine apathy.”
“The main trouble in the church today is not the wolfishness of the wolves; it’s the sheepishness of the sheep.”
How profound.
2 Tim 4:3; For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
We're certainly living in interesting times, eh?
There is general and special revelation. Either of those can happen through direct revelation. Are we saying that as Christians the Holy Spirit does not direct us, teach us, speak to us? Agreed, this revelation we receive as Christians from the Spirit must always align with God’s general revelation given to us through scripture. It can never be in opposition to scripture... but I’m not ready to deny that the Holy Spirit was given to us to teach, direct, and grow us as Christians. In guidance that applies often to just us.
“Why Beth Moore and Not Me?”
Because she is not God’s super-special, beloved girlfriend like Beth Moore is (to hear Beth tell it).
