For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping […]

Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken. (Isaiah 62:4)   “Forsaken” is a dreary word. It sounds like a knell. It is the record of the sharpest sorrows and the prophecy of direst ills. An abyss of misery yawns in that word forsaken. Forsaken by one who pledges his honor! Forsaken by a friend so […]

By now likely you know that Dr. John Piper made the dubious decision to feature Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren as the keynote speaker at the DG 2010 conference Think: The Life of the Mind & the Love of God.

It’s no secret that the online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries is a leading critic of Rick Warren of the highly influential Saddleback Church who, like me, is a pastor within the Southern Baptist Convention. One of my writers over at Christian Research Network made me aware today of the following tweet, which would appear to be from […]

Not unlike the Marty Python Flying Circus Church skit concerning the “Holy Ghost Hokie-Pokie” on the Pirate Christian Radio program Fighting for the Faith hosted by Chris Rosebrough, the visible church is becoming a parody of itself. As such, satire isn’t very often all that divorced […]

As his popularity grows, the three day conference has the potential to attract multiple hundreds, if not thousands of people. Manasseh Jordan claims […]

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) The Gospel Has Now Been Changed In this short quote that follows below the Prince of Preachers Charles Spurgeon […]

Apprising Ministries has been among the online apologetics and discernment ministries keeping you up to speed on Warrengate. This all began when Dr. John Piper made the dubious decision to make Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren the keynote speaker at the recently concluded DG 2010 conference Think: The Life of the Mind & the Love of God. In the initial aftermath, it seems […]

In Rick Warren And Peter Scazzero Up To Monk-ee Business earlier at Apprising Ministries I told you Leadership Network’s propped up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren had conference back in February called Radicalis at his Saddleback Church. Radicalis featured Dr. Ed Stetzer along with his Acts 29 cohort Mark Driscoll, as well as Perry Noble, Kerry Shook, and Andy Stanley; I also reminded […]
