Tarot Cards have been used for centuries to assist clairvoyants with seeing things beyond what normal people are able to see. Tarot cards are still used today as a part of the global phenomenon of New Age spirituality. New Age spirituality is difficult to define, but it is based on the idea that the mind, body and spirit are all connected and that anything that feels good, is good. Doreen Virtue was raised in the Christian Science Church and was attracted to New Age thinking and the power of Tarot cards, but she didn't like the scary Tarot cards including the Hanging Man, Death and The Devil. She created a new deck of cards called Angel Cards that eliminated the scary cards, and the cards became wildly popular. At one time, she was the highest selling New Age author and was in high demand at speaking engagements. One day, while listening to a sermon on the radio, she was convicted that everything she had been teaching for the last several years had been a lie. The key Bible verse from the sermon was 2 Timothy 4:3. "For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine: but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires." "Wanting to have their ears tickled" is such a strangely true statement. Many of us are constantly looking for people to tell us things that we want to believe - that make us feel good. But what we really need is the truth. The truth is we are sinners, and we are responsible for our sin. We can do nothing without the saving grace of God that was purchased by the death of His son, Jesus, on the cross. Doreen's acknowledgement that her teachings had been false shattered her world, but she now uses her platform to share the message of Jesus.
