DVD Reviews of Be StillDVD Review: Run far from "Be Still" Summary: 1 StarsIn this part of the "Be Still" website (http://www.bestillprayer.com/?content=faq), it clearly states that "BE STILL introduces a form of Christian contemplative prayer called "Lectio Divina" (which is Latin for "sacred" or "divine" reading)." FYI, Lectio Divina "is ordinarily confined to the slow perusal of sacred Scripture, both the Old and New Testaments; it is undertaken not with the intention of gaining information but of using the texts as an aide to contact the living God." In addition, "A person can linger over even a single word or phrase for an indefinite period of time after which one moves on to further slow and careful reflection." Both statements from www.lectio-divina.org.
These are absolutely unbiblical statements and absolutely antibiblical prayer techniques. The Bible is entirely True (Psalm 119:160), spiritual food for the true born again Christian (Hebrews 5:12-14), and necessary for Christian Sanctification (John 17:17). To promote using the Bible for babbling mantras and gaining extrabiblical information is NOT what God intended it for. Moreover, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Finally the very title of the video is taken (out of context) from Psalm 46:10. The Hebrew word for "be still" is "raphah." In it's true context it literally means, "stay put," or "don't move hastly" in reference to man's attempt to help God end wars in the earth. The verse does not suggest an exercise for quieting the mind for fervent prayer or dialog with God. Period.
Do not let the fools who appear in this video stumble your walk with the Lord. Contemplative Prayer is unbiblical, unedifying, unsanctifying, and unnecessary. Jesus himself said that the only "stillness" necessary for prayer is the kind you find in your room with the door shut (Matthew 6:6).
The practice of "Contemplative Prayer" is no different than the practices encouraged by Eastern Meditation gurus such as Baghwan Shree Rajneesh, Shirdi Sai Baba, and the creator of Transcendental Meditation himself, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. I strongly encourage you to research their individual "philosophy" for contacting the living God. They are all (Contemplative Prayer included) actually demonic portals disguised as "Godly" techniques which they are not.
DVD Review: Learning the benefit of silence Summary: 5 StarsThis is a terrific DVD. It helps teach how silence can help you identify the voice of God. It teaches contemplative prayer where you use scriptures to help you gain insights. I haven't found a better DVD or book to help increase your prayer life and face stress in our daily life.
DVD Review: Great Review for Believers Summary: 5 StarsThis is a DVD for Christians---not to be used as an evangelical tool. The basics are covered but very, very helpful....basically...we need to slow down, listen, read Gods Word and hear HIM through his Word. This is not Mystasism or New-Age stuff. Even Beth Moore clarifies the difference between New Age stuff and what they are relaying here in this DVD. The information is simple but something we all need remember and practice: to slow down, come before the Lord, and really listen to him. One way we do this is by prayer, reading His Word and contemplating what His Word is trying to tell our hearts. I found the DVD helpful. It is a bit hard to navigate the DVD--you have to press "go" through at the end of each chapter.
DVD Review: Be Still DVD Summary: 4 StarsTook awhile to receive, but came in the alloted time. Was new, and in good condition.
DVD Review: Great DVD For Our Time Summary: 5 StarsThis is a great DVD for anyone that is seeking to find more peace in thier lives. Living today is getting more and more stressful, and this DVD explains how to be still in God's presence and transform your life from being activity addicted to trusting and waiting for guidance from God. Its taught me that the simpler I live my life, the happier I become because I've heard the voice of God by sitting silently in his presence. I highly recommend it!
Description of Be StillBe Still is an extraordinary film that demonstrates contemplative reflection as a vital part of our everyday lives and as a remedy for the ills of the frenzied, fast-paced modern world. Featuring interviews with some of today's most highly respected authors, educators, and ministers, Be Still examines the importance of silent, reflective prayer as a way to truly be open to receiving God's guidance. This remarkable film also features a useful "how to" section that shows how contemplative prayer can be used by anyone at anytime to better one's life and reaffirm that which is truly important.
