Today's Sermon: Why Oprah Isn't Right

Oprah believes there are more ways to God than through Christianity. She believes that she's her own savior who can provide herself with her own salvation. She doesn't need Christ; she is god. And she has started a church (web-based nationwide, NATIONWIDE) that follow these beliefs as well.
I found this clip. This is our sermon from this morning in 7 minutes.




I Timothy 4:1-2 Now the Spirit expressively says that in later times some will renounce the faith by paying attention to deceitful spirits and teaching of demons, through the hypocrisy of liars whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.

Matthew 24:3-5 When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the age?" Jesus answered them, "Beware that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am Messiah!' and they will lead many astray.

II Timothy 4:2-4 Proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not put up with the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully.

That's so weird... we've been talking a lot about all that too.
That must mean it's pretty important...I need to look more into it.
