I have found myself yelling at the TV, telling Oprah to just trust the Lord Jesus Christ.  She would certainly find the answers for which she keeps searching.  I remember when my friends joined “millions” of other viewers to purchase the “Oprah bra”.  I’m certain that that was the most purchased bra of the month.

I admire the progress that Oprah has made.  I certainly respect the money that she makes available to people in need and I’m sure it comes from the heart and not just as a tax deduction.

In the 1980’s I worked for a Dr. who had his office organized based on Scientology.  It didn’t bother me at first but then the Spirit I accepted in my heart begin to nudge me.  There was no internet and limited resources on this. I couldn’t find information on this new thinking.  I talked to my minister father. He had heard of Scientology & admonished me to pray read the Bible.
I didn’t lose my faith but it had an effect on me. These books remind me of Scientology.  We must pray for the Spirit of God to move.  Yes Oprah had a difficult childhood but being from the same are in MS as she I know many others that did as well.  She has long left her roots & is now seeking for fulfillment that money & success can’t buy. Oprah hasn’t succeed at marriage or a family.  The void is from her leaving the true and living God.

I listen to your program when I can!

God Bless you!

The Bibile tells us how we are to live and what we are to believe. I pray for Oprahs soul and for any she may sway with her noncense.I dont watch her any more because I prefer God fearing people. Thank you. Glenda

If you don’t “Discover, embrace and nurture yourself...then you will never be able to do the same for others. Look at the man in the mirror first. This is in the Bible, if you pay attention to principles.
And since when did healings become a “narcissistic, human-centered lie that denies the powerful creator God? Especially when we can give credence to God and Jesus for blessing us with this ability.

I sure hope you don’t think that the plan for “especially” Christians is to STILL suffer. How about YOU PEOPLE read YOUR BIBLES…

Why are you afraid of someone who is disscusing things like love. What is wrong with focusing on things other than sin? We all know that at times we falll short of the Glory of God, and the frailty of our humanity, but why dwell there. I hear so much fear and judgement. Oprah is trying to empower people to do better to live better lives. Isn’t that what Jesus try to do as well? Open your minds and hearts and let go of all the fear.
