a new earth?

so many of you probably have already heard about oprah's new "church" (as people call it). i have already seen quite a few facebook groups about stopping it and so on... and one even calling her the "anti-christ". youtube videos of course have been made, and i am sure there have been protest outside her studio. 

i joined her website and decided to see these lessons for myself. i looked at the message boards to see people's favorite quotes from the book, like, "man made God in his own image". and upon doing further research, it would appear that oprah believes in a god, just not that Jesus is the only way among other solid Christian truths. *gasp* <-sarcasm

ok. so, oprah is not a christian. there are a lot of people in the media and average people that are not christians. american does not = christianity happy land... the land where christians frolic about merrily. america is spiritually starving like the rest of the world. 

i don't think we should be so quick to get offended when people don't believe the same thing as we do. they believe that what their beliefs are true the same way we know what we believe is the Truth. our job is not to get our unders in a wad, but to pray. pray pray pray. and speak the truth gently. 

in my opinion, by being offended and judgmental, we further put gaps between us and nonbelievers. i think it turns people away from christianity. Jesus' message was love. He went to those hurting, broken, lost and sinful people. He showed them unconditional love, kindness, gentleness, and the Truth. and as Christ followers that is our job too.
