As evangelical discernment continues to dwindle, the spiritually dangerous Alpha Course is making a comeback despite it’s sinful ecumenicism a la The Ecumenical Compromise Of The Alpha Course. This is evidenced e.g. by The Alpha Course Receieves Praise From Moody Radio’s Janet Parshall and John Piper Approves Of The Alpha Course? Christian Research Network is a sister work of Apprising Ministries. Here CRN Associate Editor Erin Benziger […]

Back in November of 2005 the online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries warned you about what is now a full blown cult of neo-liberalism operating within mainstream evangelicalism, the sinfully ecumenical Emerging Church. These past few years this EC has been busy forging together its new form of postmodern liberal theology, a Liberalism 2.0 […]

  I first talked about apostate Anglican “Bishop” Tony Palmer in the Apprising Ministries article James Robison to Pope Francis “In Christ We Are Brothers”. Then in Rick Warren Endorsing Catholics Come Home I gave you a bit more background into who Palmer is and the spiritual shenanigans he’s up to. As I told you in that latter piece, Tony […]

To the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20) It’s Past Time For Some Straight Up Truth In Evangelical Christian Circles Christian apologist Bob DeWaay has a very accurate saying: Deceptions that do not “work” have a short shelf life. […]

In J.I. Packer And Tim Keller Endorsing The Alpha Course here at Apprising Ministries, as far back as two years ago, I attempted to show you that the hyper-charismatic The Alpha Course (TAC)—marred by Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM)—is making another comeback within the mainstream of the visible church. Another example might be found in John Piper Approves Of The Alpha Course? There I […]

The fact is, if leaders within evangelicalism were doing their jobs speaking up for those who don’t have such platforms you’d have never heard of online apologetics and discernment works like Apprising Ministries. Part of the work AM is doing is apprising you of issues as they develop. Unfortunately, one that I was not able to […]

By Christian Research Network Associate Editor Erin Benziger of Do Not Be Surprised… This is a repost of an original article on Do Not Be Surprised… Each year, Alpha Course director Nicky Gumbel hosts a leadership conference at his home church of Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in London. Well-known and charismatic leaders from various walks of life and differing […]

  By Michael J. Penfold Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 15 years, you will at least have heard of The Alpha Course. Written by ex-Barrister turned Anglican Curate Nicky Gumbel, it styles itself as a friendly, fun and non-threatening ‘practical introduction to the Christian faith’. Summarised in Gumbel’s best-selling book Questions of Life, Alpha involves […]

Apprising Ministries believes this is a very important issue that really needs to be brought more out into the light. Unfortunately, it’s still largely under the radar within the mainstream of Christendom; and keep in mind that I’m saying this as a pastor myself, because it needs saying. Recently I’ve been bringing the subject of growing […]

Christian Research Network is a sister work of Apprising Ministries. Sadly, The Alpha Course (TAC) is making a comeback. CRN associate editor Erin Benziger told us earlier that The Alpha Course Receives Praise From Moody Radio’s Janet Parshall. Based upon a speaker at an upcoming Desiring God conference, who literally teaches TAC at his church, I wondered: John Piper Approves Of The Alpha […]
