Oprah!

[Sing4Him]

Oprah..:pray :hug


Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

I can't watch the video. Can anyone tell me what happens?

[A BELIEVER]

I worry about my mom watching her......she is just NOW starting to come around, and I see a "light bulb" going off with her lately. She has a Catholic background......and used to be very dependent on Man and Religion.

Lately, she watches Oprah, and still thinks Oprah is a "good person" and will go to heaven. Her argument is ...."look at all she does for Humanity".


Catholic believe by works

Why dont you give her the "Are you a good person?" test at Way of the Master or Livingwaters websites?

Also, have her read the newsletters at Mike Gendron's site. He is a former roman catholic now born-again evangelist with outreach to catholics. Check him out here www.pro-gospel.org

You cal also check out Richard Bennett's ministry to catholics. He is a former roman catholic priest now born-again evangelist and apologist. Check him out here www.bereanbeacon.org

You can also point print out the Jack Chick tracts on catholicsim here:

www.chick.com

check out the "Alberto" series as well as plugging in search engine "catholicism" or going to the Catholicism section.

I hope that your mom gets saved and comes out from that institution.

:pray

Many think this way. Good people go to heaven and bad people go the "the bad place". We are not saved by good works and so so many buy into the concept that if I'm "good".... I'll get to heaven.

The Gospel According to Oprah
http://www.wfial.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=arcVanArc10798.pg5

According to Oprah Winfrey's introduction page on the world-wide-web, the Oprah Winfrey Show is the highest-rated talk show in television history, seen by 15-20 million viewers each day in the U.S. in 205 television markets, and in 132 countries. In fact, it has been the number one talk show for 12 consecutive seasons. Since it's beginning in 1986 it has received 32 Emmy awards.

In 1996, Oprah began Oprah's Book Club designed to get America reading again. Each of the books selected has become an instant bestseller averaging sales of over 1 million copies each.

In 1997, Oprah was named Newsweek's "Most Important Person" in books and media, T.V. Guide's "Television Performer of the Year," the People's Choice Award for "Favorite Television Performer," and in 1996, Time Magazine recognized Oprah as one of America's "25 Most Influential People."

Tragically, America is almost obsessed with celebrity idol worship. Recent Gallup polls demonstrated how true this is when it asked Americans to list and rank the most influential women in recorded history. Oprah Winfrey ranked fourth! There is a common recognizable refrain that "When Oprah speaks, people listen."

However, the primary issue here is not that Americans tend to look to media celebrities as role models, although these people lead probably some of the least ideal lives to emulate. 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).

This seems to be the emerging fad with high profile talk shows, first Montel now Oprah.

[Berean Girl]

Today, on my way into work on the bus, as I was reading the Word and doing my devos, this lady sat next to me. I always hope that when someone sits next to me, that they will see me reading the Bible and it will open the door. Anyways, this lady pulls out her book "the secret" and I got sick to my stomach. So I started to pray that God would cause her to not desire to read that book and that he would put someone in her path to give her the Gospel and that she would truly seek The Truth and not some stupid secret.....
