Thoughts on Beth Moore

 Thoughts on Beth Moore by Bill Keller

Bible teacher Beth Moore is leaving the Southern Baptist Convention because she stated, “that is not who I am.”

The mainstream media appears to be ecstatic because they love to see high profile Christians distance themselves from God's Truth!

Beth Moore is a gifted Bible teacher. She has built a great following over the years. Even though she got into some theological skirmishes at times.

My only issue with her was she refused to use her platform to address or take a stand on the key cultural issues of the day like life, same-sex relations, gay marriage, and just the overall cultural rot our culture has fallen into over the past decades.

She named her #1 reason for leaving being the support by the SBC and most evangelicals for President Donald Trump. She began her anti-Trump rants after his election in 2016 and lost a good percentage of her following at that time. I found it interesting for Moore, who avoided real cultural problems, decided this was the hill she was willing to die on.

I fully understand Trump's history of marriage, women, his arrogance, narcissism. I get that. But what was the choice?

HILLARY CLINTON???

As his 4 years unfolded, the fact is President Trump proved by DEEDS NOT WORDS, to be the most pro-Israel, most pro-life, pro Christian liberties POTUS ever. That is simply a fact. He also never wavered on his love of country and commitment to traditional American values.

Yet as the 2020 election got nearer, Moore continued to be a strident critic of the President. Once again, the option was baby-butcher, anti-Christian Joe Biden whose character over his life was certainly no better than that of Donald Trump!

Over the last few years Moore has also bought into the “woke culture.” Again, I find it interesting that she avoided cultural issues throughout her entire ministry career until the last 4 years.

She has bought into the narrative of systematic racism, sexism, masculine toxicity, white privilege, and all of the radical issues being raised by people who hate this country and want to see it remade in a new, globalist image.

So in the scheme of things I will be praying for Beth, pray that God puts some wise, mature men and women of God in her path to open her eyes to the lies that have blinded her.

It is a shame that she has chosen this new path since she really was a gifted Bible teacher, however, based on what she is sharing today to the people that still follow her, it is probably a good idea she no longer has the cover and credibility of the SBC.
