I'm Concerned


<----(This is the book- no bueno people!)

Hey blog readers, A friend told me about a recent YouTube video that she saw. It was about Oprah and a new book that she is promoting. I am not usually one for rumor mills or over reaction, but I am concerned. I decided to watch this video for myself. It was called “Don’t Drink the Kool-Aid.” That led me to check out video from her show and an online class that she co-hosts with the author of “A New Earth.” Not only am I worried about the lies and half truths that are being spoken, but the immense number of people that are listening to and buying into this new belief system. I am glad however, that there seem to be real Christ followers picking up on this and responding online with Scripture verses. I almost want to read this book to see how bad it is and be informed on what people are buying into, but I am afraid it will pollute my mind and spirit.

I don’t want to comment too much, because I am just skimming the surface of this topic. What I saw and heard grieved my heart for the people that were searching for something. Unfortunately, the biggest, loudest voice that responded to their questions was Oprah, who calls herself a ”liberal Christian” in one of the web class videos, then goes on to say that Jesus is not the only way to God, that the world is too big to believe that.


-Lord, Thank you for the gift of your Son, and your Spirit. Thank you that my parents told me about you before I turned to the world for answers. Thank you for Southbrook and for Pastor Rob, who speaks the truth. Please continue to keep watch over your sheep who are being led astray by this propaganda and help them to recognize the one true Shepherd and Savior. Amen
PS- Rob's message was awesome this weekend! You should download the podcast off iTunes if you missed it.
