Apprising Ministries has long been covering the drift of Rob Bell, the rock star Elvis of the Emerging Church with its new version of Progressive Christianity aka Emergence Christianity. And in pieces like Through Rob Bell “The Great Enlightened Ones” Tell Us Man Has Divine Greatness and Rob Bell And Shane Hipps Teaching Mysticism I’ve clearly documented his fall into […]

In prior pieces such as Samir Selmanovic: God Is Father Of All Religion and Samir Selmanovic And Being Unable To Follow Jesus Without Islam here at Apprising Ministries I’ve introduced you  Samir Selamnovic, an up-and-coming ear-tickler within sinfully ecumenical Emerging Church circles. In fact, in Richard Rohr And The Emerging Church As The Third Way I showed you that Selmanovic […]

You’re likely aware that Dr. John Piper opened up Warrengate when he made a mistake by inviting Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren to be a keynote speaker at the Desiring God Conference 2010. Here Apprising Ministries is pleased to remind you about a book called Redefining Christianity: Understanding the Purpose-Driven Movement by pastor Bob DeWaay, Senior Pastor of Twin City Fellowship.

Apprising Ministries made it clear in Desiring God 2010, John Piper, And Warrengate that this isn’t about Dr. John Piper because no one credible is saying he’s anything other than a dear brother in Christ who’s made a mistake by inviting Purpose Driven Pope Rick Warren to be a keynote speaker at the Desiring God Conference 2010. What’s been forgotten […]

But this question doesn’t come to us from an Emergent Church website, which we’re already accustomed to seeing. No, the question is posed by Todd Rhodes of : MMI: Can Yoga Be Christian? http://bit.ly/afQpYz (Online source) The link takes us to Rhodes’ short post Can Yoga Be Christian? at his Monday Morning Insight.

Apprising Ministries has told you that gay affirming “pastor” Jay Bakker heads up a a rather rapscallion bunch spiritually who call themselves Outlaw Preachers, which is a subset of the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church de-formation of the Christian faith.

There are a number of concerns and reasons as to why this is wrong; as a former Roman […]

Apprising Ministries introduced you to BrianMerritt, “Senior Minister”of Palisades Community Church in Why Evangelicalism Is Failing A New Generation, As Is The Emerging Church and Fruit Of The New Progressive Theology Advanced By The Emerging Church.

“You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16, NASB)  Rotten Progressive Christianity As a pastor-teacher, I offer this here at Apprising Ministries as a real good look at the fruit being produced by the updated Progressive Christianity being spread by the neo-liberal cult of the Emerging Church with its de-formation of the Christian faith called Emergence Christianity. This is the new […]
