False teachings

Don’t be led astray by various kinds of strange teachings.  Hebrews 13:9a

 

Over the past few months, my prayers have focused on my own world which includes my church, my job and my friends.  God has recently been reminding me that as a Prayer Warrior there is a whole world that needs prayer! 

 

In our society today, we create heroes out of public figures and become influenced by what they say and believe. For many women, Oprah Winfrey has become a symbol of what each of us can achieve in our lives if we work hard and are good people.  But I, as a Christian woman, have become very concerned about her latest book club choice “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle and her new web class about this book.  If you are not familair with it, please take time right now and click on the link below and listen to what Oprah has to say.

It is not my desire in this blog to debate Oprah’s beliefs.  Maybe she is just misguided, but we cannot simply ignore this as just one more fad.  She has the ability to influence millions of viewers.  We must pray for Oprah – that she will turn back to God; and we must pray for all of the women who are being influenced by this false teaching.  I hope you will join me and add Oprah to your daily prayers.
