Oprah: Church or Cult?
I was reading on Hugh Hewitt today, and came across an interesting read by Al Mohler. He posts an interesting article about Oprah Winfrey and her "Life Your Best Life" tour.
This is a fascinating subject to me. Because I am intrigued as a Christian and pastor that Oprah seems to possess an ability to foster a sense of community more easily than most churches. Now we could debate on what commmunity is, but let's just say that most churches would love to have the type of committment in their church, that people have to Oprah. And I think that her honesty and authenticity is what draws many people. Sometimes those are things lacking in many churchse. On the other hand. Sometimes I am freaked out by how obsessed people are with Oprah, and that their own judgment can become clouded on issues.
If you doubt her influence, than read this article in Christianity Today, The Church of O.
