Robin McGraw Officially Endorsed on the Women of Faith Website

Robin McGraw, the popular wife of famed TV pop-psychologist Dr. Phil, has been invited as a special guest speaker at the national conference of the conservative Christian organization known as Women of Faith. We know that Women of Faith claims to be conservative because of the clear statement of faith advertised on their website. This statement includes a belief in the inerrancy of Scripture, the depravity of mankind, the Virgin birth and sinless life of Christ, and salvation through Christ Jesus alone.

But does Robin McGraw believe these things? To be honest, I do not know. She doesn't say, at least in anything I have heard or read. I have e-mailed her through the "Ask Robin" page on Dr. Phil's website in order to try and find out, but have not received a response. In my e-mail, I simply asked her if she agreed with the Women of Faith statement of faith. This, in my mind, seems to be a simple and necessary qualification for any and all speakers (guests or otherwise) at a national conference.

The regular speaker-leadership team of Women of Faith includes popular teachers Patsy Clairmont, Luci Swindoll, Nicole Johnson, Sheila Walsh, Marilyn Meberg, and Thelma Wells. These biblically focused women might or might not have any control over the special guest speakers. But if they do, I hope that they are addressing this issue with the corporate leadership team.

Ladies, Robin McGraw and Dr. Phil offer nice and quite-often-truthful advice for life, but they are not verbally basing it on the Bible as the source of knowledge. Women of Faith is an overtly Christian organization with an overt trust of God through Christ and the Bible. Integrity demands action on this issue.
