THE “CHURCH” OF OPRAH WINFREY
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Aug 11, 2008 in Current Issues
In this piece Apprising Ministries draws together into one place a couple of helpful resources concerning the New Age theology of Oprah Winfrey. Though not meant as an endorsement of the ministry who produced the piece referenced below their article The Gospel According to Oprah will prove helpful for those wanting to know the truth about what this professing Christian believes and is teaching millions of her followers:
The issue before us is the steady stream of messages and advice that Oprah and her favorite guests communicate to the millions of people who are starved for meaning and purpose in life. Clearly, Oprah Winfrey has been converted into the New Age Movement. And one of the biggest deceptions is that she apparently doesn’t know it. Many of her favorite guests are major New Age proponents and authors, and Oprah contributes to the enormous popularity and sales of their books.
Some of these New Age guests (and a number of them make repeat appearances) are, Marianne Williamson, Barbara DeAngelis, LaVar Burton, Richard Carlson, Betty Eadie, Dannion Brinkley, M. Scott Peck, Sophy Burnham, Marilyn Ferguson, Kevin Ryerson, Shirley MacLaine, Sara Breathnach, James Hillman, and psychic medium and best-selling author, James Van Praagh.
Oprah is on a mission. Repeatedly stated, her “mission” is, “I want people to see things on our show that makes them think differently about their lives…To be a light for people. To make a difference…to open their minds and see things differently…how to get in touch with the spiritual part of their life.” Unfortunately, the “light” Oprah offers is the “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), and “opening their minds,” in this case means their brains fall out—they become empty headed (Romans 1:21-25).
