"Oprah and Friends" To Teach Course on New Age Christ
By Warren Smith
Oprah Winfrey will be letting out all the stops on her XM Satellite Radio program this coming year. Beginning January 1, 2008, "Oprah & Friends" will offer a year-long course on the New Age teachings of A Course in Miracles.1 A lesson a day throughout the year will completely cover the 365 lessons from the Course in Miracles "Workbook." For example, Lesson #29 asks you to go through your day affirming that "God is in everything I see."2 Lesson #61 tells each person to repeat the affirmation "I am the light of the world."3 Lesson #70 teaches the student to say and believe "My salvation comes from me."4
By the end of the year, "Oprah & Friends" listeners will have completed all of the lessons laid out in the Course in Miracles Workbook. Those who finish the Course will have a wholly redefined spiritual mindset-a New Age worldview that includes the belief that there is no sin, no evil, no devil, and that God is "in" everyone and everything. A Course in Miracles teaches its students to rethink everything they believe about God and life. The Course Workbook bluntly states: "This is a course in mind training"5 and is dedicated to "thought reversal."6

That is downright scary. Especially when you consider how broad-based Oprah's following is, and how many people will find this as being "acceptable" and something to be 'sought after.' It's one thing to have grown up knowing that we are living in the 'last days,' which we all have done... it's quite another to be witness to the unfolding of the great apostasy, the establishment of the 'new world order' as it is being revealed throughout our entire society. It is mind boggling that there are still those who deny that we are in the last days. I don't watch Oprah, and had not heard of this latest project. We are witnesses to how subltely the deceptions are presented as being "good"... and how easily the masses are led astray. So sad.
