“But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked; you grew fat, stout, and sleek; then he forsook God who made him and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation. They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they provoked him to anger. They sacrificed to demons that were no gods, to gods they had never known, […]

Apprising Ministries now brings you a follow up to More Questions Concerning Dr. John Piper where I reminded you that when Dr. Piper made the ill-advised decision to invite Leadership Network’s propped-up Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren to DG 2010 as a keynote speaker it set off a rippling effect where people, and not merely discernment ministries, have started to look a little closer at his theology, educational background, and associations; […]

As Apprising Ministries covers the slide into apostasy within mainstream evangelcialism we can observe Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren, a most prominent “Protestant” Southern Baptist minister, is Double-Minded On The Reformation And Roman Catholicism; or take the sinfully ecumenical neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church aka the Emerging Church with its new version of Progressive Christian theology under their spiritual circus “big tent” Emergence Christianity.  Part of its legacy already is creating the […]

I’ve pointed out before that the Lord chose to raise up Apprising Ministries as an online apologetics and discernment work; as such, it’s a large part on my mission here to cover trends developing within the church visible. Unfortunately we live in a time where, in my opinion, a tsunami of apostasy—likely driven by 1 Peter 4:17 judgments—is rapidly heading […]

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1) False Teachers Insure Division In The Church First, we have to ask ourselves: “Is this Scripture only a historic fact, or could this also continue to happen […]

Do you remember Acts 17:26 — And he [God] made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place. You are here now—at this critical time in history—because Jesus wants you here. It is His plan that […]

And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord. And behold, at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs to the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east, worshiping the sun toward the […]

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) A Nice, Or Good, Experience Doesn’t Insure That It’s From God The following incident, which Bob DeWaay shares in his fine scholarly work The Dangers of Divination, proves to be […]

“These are the statutes and rules that you shall be careful to do in the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess, all the days that you live on the earth.” “You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, […]
