I’ve been mentioning lately that here at Apprising Ministries, that as this tsunami of apostasy grows—likely fueled by 1 Peter 4:17 judgments sent by Jesus—I’m essentially just documenting the things I’m so people will have no excuse.

There’s a common straw man concerning those of us Jesus has sent into the mission field of online apologetics and discernment ministry—which He’s continuing to develop—erected by many of those whose doctrine we criticize; and that would be, we are haters who’re striking out in anger. Nope; sorry about that chief. I happen to know […]

Once there were some people who decided that they would get together and build a house. So first they began to read some instructions from a book by a master house builder about how building a safe house was to be done. But just to make sure that this house would be built the they wanted it to be built, these […]

The need for regeneration lies in man’s total depravity. Every member of Adam’s race is a fallen creature, and every part of his complex being has been corrupted by sin. Man’s heart is “deceitful above all things and desperately wicked” (Jer. 17:9). His mind is blinded by Satan (2 Cor. 4:4) and darkened by sin […]
