Ever since Dr. John Piper made the unfortunate mistake of asking Rick Warren to be a keynote speaker for the Desiring God Conference 2010 at Apprising Ministries I’ve been keeping you updated on the events surrounding Warrengate. You may know that John Piper released a video detailing the reasons why he decided to extend this […]

Apprising Ministries draws your attention to Is the meaning of Easter being lost? by Kate Shellnutt of the Houston Chronicle where she reminds us of a couple of sad facts. Unfortunately however, Shellnutt is right when she says: Just as Christmas for many has become less about the miracle of the virgin birth, Easter may be losing […]

The cross work of Christ is central to the Christian faith and its proclamation, because of who it was who died on the cross and what it was he did there. With the apostles the church affirms that it was the eternal Son of God, the Word who became flesh, the Lord of glory, who […]

Apprising Ministries points you to a couple of pieces concerning heretical Emerging Church guru Brian McLaren and his latest book A New Kind of Christianity (ANKoC).

Oh, we know that it’s God Himself over there on the cross saving sinners from the eternal fire of hell; but Christian Post tells us, “Easter at a megachurch in Corpus Christi, Texas, will look like the popular TV game show ‘The Price Is Right.’” So, come on down!! For the forgiveness of sins; no buddy, […]

Pastor Warren tailors his appeals to his audience.  To Calvinists, he stresses his support for the “solas” of the Reformation.  Yet he tells prosperity evangelist David Yonggi Cho, “I’ve read your books on Vision and Dreams – speak to pastors about how you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit?…What advice would you give to […]

“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) The Reforming (Reinvention?) Of Rick Warren Apprising Ministries reminds you that in John Piper’s March 31, 2010 video defense of his wrong decision […]
