The theological viewpoints and positions of the participants are the over-arching theme of the DVD, and she says she supports it.
She addresses her critics on her web page and though at first glance it may sound like she supports a biblical view of prayer, looking deeper into what she is saying, it becomes clear that she doesn’t understand what biblical prayer and meditation are.īy participating in the Be Still project, we by no means meant to convey our agreement with the theological viewpoints and positions of other participants yet we did believe (and still do) in the over-arching theme of the resource and that is why I agreed to do it. Priscilla Shirer participated in a DVD on the contemplative prayer heresy called Be Still.
Justin Peters wrote an excellent review on Shirer’s movie, War Room, which basically sums up these false teachings as highly emotional and seductive to fallen human nature. Shirer, daughter of Pelagian heretic, Tony Evans (below), is an advocate of mystical forms of prayer and contemplation that were born out of the Emergent movement. Priscilla Shirer is one of the many darlings of the Southern Baptist Convention, and a regular speaker on the LifeWay Women’s speaking circuit. She’s also a promoter of another well-known Emergent teacher and mystic, Richard Foster, one of the founders of spiritual formation - a movement whose central disciplines revolve around contemplative prayer and other forms of Eastern mysticism. But Lord, would You first start a revival inside this circle? Let it begin in me.” Would you ask God to revive His people? Would you let the Holy Spirit draw a circle within your own heart? Then say, “Lord, I long for You to send a revival to my nation, my church, my marriage, and my children. Then he would stand inside that circle and say, “O God, please send a revival to this town, and let it begin inside this circle.” He’d stop on the outskirts and draw a circle in the dirt.
Gipsy Smith was a nineteenth-century revivalist who did something unusual when he came to a new town. At this event, she regularly turns to the prayer circle and attributes her teaching to an early 20th-century British Evangelist, Rodney (Gipsy) Smith. DeMoss, like Batterson, mixes this pagan practice of drawing prayer circles with biblical Christianity.ĭeMoss is the leader of a popular women’s prayer event called Cry Out. Nancy Leigh DeMoss is another circle-maker, like Batterson, who started off well, but began to slide into this heretical teaching over the last few years. Voskamp teaches a relationship with God that is more like a relationship with a lover or a sex partner. This view of God’s love is antithetical to the biblical view of God’s love, which is agape. He’s calling for a response He’s calling for oneness.
PASTOR MIKE TODD HERESY HOW TO
In her book, 100 Gifts, she writes of flying to Paris to “learn how to make love to God,” and also, “I run my hand along the beams over my loft bed, wood hewn by a hand several hundred years ago. Voskamp portrays God’s love in a dangerous way, confusing his love for an “erotic” type of love. However, Voskamp has stepped into the realm of Bible teacher and is also the author of many works that, while the theology is bad, are theological in nature. Yet, with a captivating charisma, she’s attracted a massive following at her blog where she writes about the day-to-day happenings in her life that so many women can identify with. She writes in a tedious, melodramatic way that most people would find cumbersome. Ann Voskamp is a very popular author, poet, and blogger among the ladies.
