HOW SHOULD CHRSITIANS LISTEN TO OPRAH WINFREY?Preachers in the circles I know, would rather their membership would not listen to anyone but them. So preachers would be shocked to know just how many of their members are really viewing these programs.
IS IT WRONG FOR CHRISTIANS TO WATCH OPRAH OR BINN HINN, OR THE LATE JERRY FALWELL, OR JOEL OSTEEN?
My personal opinion? No it is not wrong for believers to watch these shows. But watch with discernment! Know the subject before you accept what they are saying. Dr. Oz is good. Bob Greene is good. Bill Cosby is good. Dr. Phil was good.

- Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have already helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violent conflict endemic on our planet.

Eckhart Tolle claims to have attained enlightenment at the age of 29 after suffering long periods of depression. Tolle's non-fiction bestseller, The Power of Now, emphasizes the importance of being aware of the present moment as a way of not being lost in thought. In Tolle's view, the present is the gateway to a heightened sense of peace. "Being in the now" also brings about an awareness that is beyond the mind. This awareness helps in transcending "the pain-body" that is created by the identification of the mind and ego with the body. His later book, A New Earth, further claims to explore the structure of the human ego and how this acts to distract people from their present experience of the world. His other works include Stillness Speaks, a book that modernises the ancient sutra form.
