Dear CIC Reader,
We wanted to share
with you a few resources we have available regarding Oprah Winfrey, as well as
our current broadcast schedule for both the podcast and our YouTube Channel.
Back in 2009 Bob DeWaay wrote an article and did a seminar regarding Oprah's
mysticism and pop spirituality. We believe these resources are just as relevant
now as they were when they were first published.
The article, "Oprah Winfrey Promotes Pantheist Eckhart
Tolle," is available at http://www.cicministry.org/commentary/issue114.htm.
From the article:
What
sort of god needs to read a book or go to a seminar to discover his own
identity? According to Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle, millions of such
deities find it necessary to act on that need to awaken to their own godhood.
These are human beings who lack a sense of consciousness of their divinity, and
Oprah and Tolle have set out to remedy that situation.
Oprah
entices visitors to her Web site with this quote: "Are you ready to be
awakened? Millions have experienced Oprah and Eckhart's A New Earth
classes." The subtitle
to Eckhart's A New Earth is "Awakening to Your Life's Purpose." Under Oprah's influence,
millions are being led away from rational, revealed truth, such as is found in
the Bible, to a new state of consciousness under the guise of being awakened.
Bob DeWaay also presented spoke
about Oprah at Faith at Risk 5. The message was entitled "Oprah's
Dangerous Pop Spirituality and Eastern Mysticism." You can view the
video here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0F09550025C88867
Our current podcast series is teaching verse-by-verse through Hebrews and will take
us most of the way through 2018. You can hear the current programs here:
