The PyroManiacs devote some space each weekend to highlights from The Spurgeon Archive. The following excerpt is from “Under Constraint,” a sermon preached Sunday morning 28 April 1878 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London: I have not much patience with a certain class of Christians nowadays who will hear anybody preach so long as they […]

…and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. (Acts 20:30, ESV) Doug Pagitt And Emergent Village Come Emerging Apprising Ministries has been tracking the still developing neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church festering within mainstream evangelicalism for half a decade now. Today I bring to your […]

Apprising Ministries has shared concern in e.g. Tim Keller Also Promoting Mystic Guru Peter Scazzero? and Curious Associations Ed Stetzer, Dan Kimball, And Tim Keller MissionSHIFT about reformed pastor Tim Keller involved with things which seem antithetical to Reformation theology. This would be another of those as Nicholas Batzig tells us in his short post Can This […]

Years ago John MacArthur hit the target dead on when he said: listen, false teaching will always cry intolerance. It will always say you are being divisive, you are being unloving, you are being ungracious, because it can only survive when it doesn’t get scrutinized. So it cries against any intolerance. It cries against any […]

As a small companion piece to Brian McLaren And His New Emerging Progressive Theology here at Apprising Ministries I now point you to today’s Jesus, Reconsidered: Book Sparks Evangelical Debate by Barbara Bradley Hagerty religion correspondent for NPR. In my coverage of heretical Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren, I’ve told you that he’s really becoming the source of much obfuscation […]

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4, ESV)  Clouding The Lens So You Can’t See  Here at Apprising Ministries I’m […]

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. (Jude 17-19) Christians Denying Christianity? […]

Must be something in the air today because it sure seems some megapastors in the Purpose Driven/Seeker Driven (PD/SD) section of the Druckerite camp are whining about their “critics.” FYI, a critic may be defined as anyone who would dare disagree with one of their vision-casting direct revelations allegedly from God Himself.  Today Steven Furtick, a disciple of his […]

It would appear that many, many years ago Chet Powers aka Dino Valenti, possibly a “pop music prophet,” ended up writing what just might be the inspired(?) theme song of the Emerging Church 2.o with its upgraded version of Progressive Christianity—a Liberalism 2.0—aka Emergence Christianity. That song’s full title is Let’s Get Together, though it’s typically associated with Jesse Colin Young as Get Together because his band The Youngbloods recorded it as […]

Apprising Ministries has long been warning about the dangers of corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM) perpetrated as so-called Spiritual Formation (SF) by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster along with his spiritual twin SBC minister Dallas Willard now slithering deeper into pretending to be Protestant mainstream evangelicalism. Being a former Roman Catholic, I also brought to your attention that it’s beyond question this spurious CSM is nothing more than […]
