![]() ![]() Two years ago Lifeway pulled Jen Hatmaker’s books from its shelves when Hatmaker affirmed her LGBT beliefs, and stated that homosexual marriage can be holy. Lifeway, the bookselling arm of the SBC, has also made homosexuality a litmus test for its authors. Here’s an example of such a disfellowshipping reported by the Baptist Press. So, the SBC has made homosexuality a litmus test for churches. Churches have been removed for standing on the unbiblical side of homosexuality. That has happened a handful of times over the last several years. If you are a church that supports homosexuality or are a pastor who says that it’s not a sin, or that it’s OK, your church is in danger of being disfellowshipped from the Convention. ![]() We know that they claim to stand on biblical truth now, but there is also some confusion about how and when they apply their own biblical litmus tests.Īs Michelle Lesley explained in her interview with Andrew Rappaport, the SBC has made homosexuality a litmus test for whether churches can be in friendly cooperation with the SBC. We know that in the past the SBC has been staunch on its commitment to biblical truth. Many people have noticed a wobble in the Southern Baptist Convention, a softening, like butter left on the counter for too long. In addition, there is another grave concern. SBC’s Double Standard when applied to Moore Souls, who, unless that are taught clearly and unequivocally the truth, will find themselves cast into hell forever. Souls, who are actively being taught by Hatmaker and Merritt that their chosen lifestyle is one that needs no repenting, and that Moore, by her plaudits and approvals and partnerships with Hatmaker and Merritt, yet her conspicuous silence on clearly repudiating the behavior as sin, also makes the statement that homosexuality needs no repenting of. That is a lot of souls being reached with the message that the homosexual lifestyle is OK, that homosexual marriage can be holy, and that homosexual marriage can be part of Christianity. Hatmaker’s own following is considerable- 1.3 million followers on FB, IG, and Twitter. We asked, because Moore’s partnerships and affirmation of gay-affirming Jen Hatmaker and Jonathan Merritt are seem to indicate a tacit approval of homosexuality. Once we add in the people who access Moore’s teachings via LPM’s app, various non-official Youtube videos, and the Living Proof Blog, her following reaches well over 2 million people. LPM’s online ministry outreach utilizes Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, Moore’s social media which currently have a combined following of 1.6 million people. 24,000 units of her video and written material were shipped. Her weekly TV program reached 2.7m households. Moore taught at LPLive events plus other various events with a total of 284k total attendees. Living Proof Ministries (LPM) participated in multiple conferences and simulcasts last year. Huge Following, Huge Influence means Souls are at Stake ![]() In the Letter we posed 5 simple questions, asking her to make clear her stance on homosexuality. That is a direct testament to the influence and fame of Beth Moore. There has been quite a hue and cry over the Open Letter to Beth Moore that I and 5 other ladies published on June 18. ![]()
