Prejudiced for Eternity By Paul Chesser
This summer, as has been its custom in recent years, the megachurch (Southern Baptist, not Willow Creek) I attend brought in a series of guest speakers while the pastor caught a break.
One of the most compelling was James Walker, president of the Watchman Fellowship, which fancies itself a Christian discerner of new religious movements, cults, the occult, and New Age-ism. On the Sunday he visited my church, Walker preached about the folly of Oprah Winfrey-ism, exposing her New Age beliefs and showing a clip from her program in which a Christian confronted her (and her panelists) with Bible truths.
While Oprah wields enviable influence throughout the country, Walker has also seen a noticeable uptick in inquiries to Watchman about a certain presidential candidate's faith. The curiosity is over the Mormonism of Republican Mitt Romney, and let's just say Walker -- himself a former Latter-Day Saint church member -- is concerned.
